Cool Summer

  Growing up in Texas you learn how to stay cool at a very young age. The hydrodynamic effects of water on skin are not lost on the young. Hours are spent splashing in any body of water more than two inches deep. In the shallow ones you just learn to lay really flat.
  I still have that urge to jump in anything that contains H2O regardless of how low it is. The homeowners along the shores of Possum Kingdom Lake are grumbling about the low water levels. Yeah it is making the water smell a little funky as well. It is still cooler than the air in the heat of the day and you just have to realign your jumps so that you miss any exposed rocks in the shallows.
  Makes me feel like a kid all over again. I think there would be fewer skirmishes if we all spent a bit more summer time in the drink.
