I decided to head out by myself one afternoon in my small 16'to one of my favorite islands on the Mississippi River. I had a week off and wanted to relax and listen to the ballgame. This was a weekday so there was hardly anyone out. As I pulled up to the island and started to get out I heard a lot of trees move then suddenly stop. Hmmm I wonder maybe it was a deer or ? My mine now is thinking many things and if you ever watched an X-Files show it really starts racing. As I stood there on the beach a large tree about 50 yards away (not far enough) gave way to time and old age and fell like a large tree should but did it with authority. I was shocked to witness such an event and decided to stay and listen to nature instead of my baseball game.
