I trust Old Man River, too, but only to do whatever in H*ll he feels like. The rivers around these parts are nearly all out of their banks. The Rock River in Illinois (you're an old Illinois man Rapaire, remember the Rock River?) floods any time a kid spits in it. There was an interview on TV this AM with a guy whose house is on ten foot poles so it can survive the floods. He said he wouldn't even consider living anywhere else because it is so beautiful living on the river.
