If you’re undertaking the great American road trip you will soon realize that much of the United States is intersected by water.  It’s wet. Possible exceptions include the lower portions of Arizona and some counties in Utah and Texas, which are varying degrees of dry, respectively.

The point?  Man, you don’t need a point.  You see some water on a summer day, you need to stop and swim, surf, sit, ski and skip stones upon it.  Please obey all safety regulations, wear a flotation device (an airplane seat works nicely) and don’t stick your toes in unless you’ve waited the appropriate amount of time since eating.

Get wet.
