The title today may be weak. Depends on how hip you are to very, very old TV shows.
Either way, Steven’s in trouble. Kara’s in trouble. When you’re in trouble, it’s never good to get separated. So, y’know, they’re in Double Trouble.
“Double Couple Trouble.”
That should be a game show.
Steven, as has been pointed out by several readers, is not Hubris.
Poor Steven. He has common sense… or a least a common person’s sense of peril. He has… hesitancy. I don’t think Hubris hesitates so much. Or that other stuff.
Yeaaaah, if you go all the way back into the archives… Hubris doesn’t have a common person’s sense of peril or hesitancy. I guess that’s what made Kara think Steven was… what? A better choice for a long happy life?
We’ll just mull that over for a bit.
Kara has a point. You gotta have a Lake Superior or something if you want current. Or tides. Or rafts that have come untied and are coming after you.
Buck’s Pass Lake is NOT that kind of lake. Usually. That’s what I heard.
You can hear it, too, but you have to hang out with drunks who are fishing and have been out all day … and came back to shore only ’cause the cooler “Got empty.”
When I was kayaking whitewater, there were always stories, especially around Dam-controlled rivers, of people doing dumb things. And making videos of it, usually.
And while I’m certain that Kara’s desire to kayak around hoping to help someone in need is entirely more important to her than getting to paddle that spillway… well, I’m sure there’s SOME tiny, if unconscious, part of her mind that’s telling her that it might be runnable.
Not in a storm at night. Oh nonononononononoooooo, but maybe you could scout it out a little while you were there, y’know, with the excuse that you HAD to be there, ’cause you were, y’know, RESCUING.
Outhouses. You know ’em. You love to hate ’em.
Stinging insects love to build nests in there… ya don’t always see ’em but you know they’re there.
Ew.
Kara isn’t fussy about stuff, is she?
At least, not fussy about the kind of stuff you THINK she’s gonna be fussy about.
Probably why she’s so popular.
Oh, Steven, she’s saying it’s going to go just the way you want things to go…
And then your vehicle spontaneously disassembles.
That’s a bad sign.
Or conjunction of signs.
So, how much was that umbrella?
Couples don’t want to be too alike when they become couples. They’ll end up alike after a decade or two. Or three.
Or so.
Steven, what have you gotten yourself into?
Everybody seems to be on the same wavelength.
That’s so sweet.
Steven’s idea of what’s “Chill” may not be the same as yours. Or mine. Or your neighbors.
The important thing to remember is that opinions are just different. They’re not better or worse… until they get him killed.
In that case, they’d be worse, I guess.
