Miami River Clean-up leads to big clean-up for Pat & Bob

We spent the entire morning in a canoe, paddling along the Miami River, and stopping to pick up trash in the river. Oh for light trash like McDonald's cups or pizza boxes ... no, we were hauling tires and parts of shopping carts outta that river. Who throws those things in there? What's wrong with these people?

Here we are when we got home. Believe me, we're dirtier and wetter than the pictures show. What looks like a shadow line on my pants is the wet line. We got thrown into the river once when the canoe overturned. Boy, that was fun. Bob also waded into the river repeatedly to go after trash, haul the canoe over a shallow spots, etc. His pants were so wet and dirty and heavy that they kept drifting downward ... sort of like young men often wear them these days. However, Bob is 64 and generally likes his pants in their proper place.
We did our good deed for the day. We're going to a concert tonight in downtown Troy. That should be fun and a whole lot cleaner than this morning.
