Signs

If one morning I walked on top of the water across the Potomac River, the headline that afternoon would read "President Can't Swim."

If you are out walking in the woods and in the middle of the woods not by any water you see a sign that says, "Danger: Swim in Designated Areas Only," you might think, "Why, that's odd that such a sign should be posted on a hiking trail in the middle of the woods. I wonder if there is indeed an area near here — non-designated — that would make a nice place for swimming."


And then you might walk on and find just such a nice non-designated swimming area. It's true! It could happen! That's what happened when I saw this sign in the middle of the woods!


Duh. That's the whole basis for this blog post.
