Soon you will have the sun full in your eyes when you drive back from
work. By then, every day will add two minutes to the time available for
an afterwork paddle.


Niels, some us are perfectly happy paddling in the dark, in the cold,
bumping off ice, and hauling icy pogies around on every stroke in our
afterwork paddles.  Or at least one of us is!  But the list I just made
doesn't make it sound nearly as nice as it is.  The advantage of dark
paddling is listening to the owls calling and beaver tails slapping that
don't happen so much in the times of light paddling.  And the fact that
the kids on the bridges can't see me as well, so their rocks usually
miss.
