WTF Bart?

You never read Life on the Mississippi by Mark Twain?

He has the best descriptions you will ever find of how to reconize
shallows, snags, silting, deep water, ect. He describes running the
mississippi at night like a man remembers how to walk down a hall in
his house in the pitch dark. My descriptions of shallows match Samuels
descriptions to a tee. You read the surface and notice very subtile
differences of how the water is effected by things below the surface.


One problem, Joe. Mark was talking about a river, with
strong current. Bart was talking about a harbor.

River

Harbor

Note that there are two seperate & different words, because
they are seperate & different things. Mark Twain had some
comments about this issue, too.
