This effect was first noticed on Lake Ontario following the Henderson goal in the
Canada v. USSR series.  First the goal.  Then the single greatest draw of domestic
water in the watershed history (everyone went to the toilet after having sat in
suspense for so long).  Then the single greatest power draw (a visit to the fridge for
a beer on the way back to the T.V.).  Then the single greatest non-natural raise in
lake water level as the surge from the previously mentioned great flush made its way
through the system and out into paddling territory.  Ah, those were the days -- what a
sense of patriotism that goal gave us, and what a sense of community that flush gave
us.  Too bad Mason had already filmed "The Rise and Fall of the Great Lakes."
