One trip on the Columbia River a few years ago, a loving couple I paddle with got "flamingoed" in the night (I don't know how the birds got there), with a bird on either side of the tent doors. [Hint: if you take the legs off, two bodies will fit into the front compartment of almost any good-size yak.] The lady awoke in the night and told her companion: "Gary, there are some really huge birds outside our tent." Somehow, their chortling did not awaken me. The loving couple got "even" by placing the pink pair outside my tent door ... in a very compromising position! Maybe Doug Lloyd needs to be flamingoed? -- Dave Kruger Astoria, OR *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
