What would the world be, once bereft of wet and wildness?
Let them be left, O let them be left, wildness and wet;
Long live the weeds and the wilderness yet.
-- Gerard Manley Hopkins

starting them early
For you kayakers out there, EJ is launching his own line of playboats. They look pretty slick. You can check them out here, but don't expect them in stores anytime soon. Also, check out his new trick, the McNasty. What is additionally cool is his line of kids' boats, which is on one hand is good because they will probably help get people into the sport at a younger age, but on the other hand may mean you'll be rescuing twelve-year-olds from whirlpools and strainers. Do we really want kids on class IV rivers? Where do we draw the line?
