A Bridge Over Troubled Ground

(1)

Kootch has always known about my 'loaded gun' of course.

I recently decided to do some westward exploration on the Highline Canal. I usually pedal Eastward because there are no stoplights in that direction. But I was curious: were there any fun photographic objects on that part of the trail? Oh yes there were! In fact I discovered several trees with what appeared to be (boom) 'bladder control problems.' Really. In fact, the density of lightening-struck trees seemed to be at least double the number east of Broadway!

On the day in question (and again today) I discovered lightening marks which resembled cunts. Not unusual. But those cunts seemed to have bladder control problems. No kidding. Here is my explanation (really, my conjecture): the canal was flooded by water; all trees were sucking up as much of it as possible; certain trees had been so damaged by lightening strikes that their internal structure had been compromised, allowing water to escape via the lightening scar near the ground. I am certain of this explanation - prove me wrong if you can. I will publish those photos next Friday.

My experience on the East Trail suggested to me that a lightening-struck tree could be found about every 500 feet. But the West Trail suggested that such trees could be found about every 200 feet! Wow!

I also got many photographs (boom) of a bridge over a gulch. The bridge carried the waters of the Highline Canal. The bridge leaked, allowing much water to cascade into the gulch. This bridge confirmed my memories from my airplane times of a 'little river' which flowed over a bridge!
