I drove down from St. Louis to the North Fork River down near Arkansas, and spent about 15 hours of the two days I was there paddling a canoe. My arms hurt. But my brain hurts even more because we saw this ground of 17-19 year olds who had the bright idea to tie 6 canoes together, and try and canoe 20 miles in one day. Well, in case you don't know anything about canoeing, or however you would spell that, tying canoes together is a HORRIBLE idea, and going 20 miles in one day, that is really hard without paddling the whole time you're on the river, no less with 6 canoes tied together. Oh yeah, and one of them had a hole. A big hole. I... I don't even know how they let them do that... it hurts my brain to think about it. But, other than that, I"m not in any physical anguish.
