Musings on the river

[mapsedge]

My route to work takes me over the Missouri River bridge on 291.  As the water level dropped - thanks in large part, I hear, to an ice dam up in Iowa somewhere - a pile of debris started to become visible.  From the bridge, too far away to really see clearly, it looked like a couple of old railroad ties sticking up, ends butted together to form a rude triangle with the river's surface.  (I investigated one day by driving into L Benité Park, and it was, indeed, railroad ties.) 

Now, the river has risen again, trading the railroad ties for other, floating debris.  There's still a little area of turbulence on the surface, though, and, having seen the cause I know what's under it.  I leave the reader to find whatever message they like, there.

It happens from time to time. Wear your waders next time, eh? You never know what you're going to walk into here...

The water ain't all that's deep here, either....
