The great Mississippi was mad today. The wind was blowing and the water was rough with whitecaps. It's strange the way that the exact same section of the river can have so many different appearances depending on weather and time of day. The same stretch of water that was smooth as glass on the trip upriver can turn angry with big rolling waves that hammer away at the hull on the return trip a few hours later.
Today the river woke up mad and stayed that way all day. What mood she'll be in tomorrow is anyone's guess. One thing is certain - she'll be there waiting to show anyone who takes the time to notice, just how special she is.
