	Funny, I always think of breaking a forearm or shin bone
(connected to the hip bone, connected....) and rarely think of breaking
joints, probably because I've never broken one (guess I've led a
sheltered life or am really, really tough).  I suppose in certain
instances you could use your paddle float.

	Since I take aspirin to prevent blood clotting, I bleed like
hell when cut so I carry extra gauze pads to apply as clean pressure
points.  I've been told sanitary napkins would really be great but don't
have the nerve to go buy any.  Besides, I'm confused enough wearing a
skirt when I go paddling.  Geeze, ya don't think I'll like being paddled
soon, do ya?  Sure hope this 'yak stuff isn't a degenerative process.
