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.

No kidding Doug, I'd never figured that out without your help, but the
same effect can be seen in a rivers movement and a harbors tide, you
may not beleive this but water moves in both harbors and rivers, and
shallows effect the surface in very similar ways.


River

Harbor

Note that there are two seperate & different words, because
they are seperate & different things.

I get back at ya for that one;0)


Mark Twain had some
comments about this issue, too.

Care to share them?

Joe
