1. Some buddies and I were floating the Snake River here in Idaho one day. Just a one day

run with our little single seat catarafts fishing for small mouthed bass.

We see this thunderstorm brewing and know we're about to get it and beach our boats. Then the drill is to lay down in the sand away from the boats just in case as it blows over.

One of the guys was a dumbass and ran back real quick to pee and decided to hide under the trees back there. You could see the wall of rain coming and it dumped and blew hard for a couple minutes and was gone. We get up and our buddy comes out covered in bird shit and spiderwebs! Whatever else came out of the trees he was hiding in. No problem. He dove in, cleaned off, popped another beer and away we went.

I'm sure it's beautiful, tho.

And I'm sure people will say to not obsess over a megalomaniac's control of a major communications channel.

6. I've actually blocked the twitter site (twitter.com) which prevents seeing any content.

I know I'm probably overreacting but I don't trust it at all.

If anyone is interesting the firefox extension is "block-site".
