Sometimes, you have to slow down and smell the roses or the fresh wild hog droppings on the side of the river bank. Either will do. A couple friends and I went exploring in a waterway that eventually flows into Sardis Lake in North Mississippi. We fished a bit but mostly floated around exploring. It was relaxing, quiet, and a lot of fun. Perfect battery recharge.

P.S. Today I learned that if a canoe turns upside down in the water, you can safely wear it on your head.

Because it’s capsized.
