River commerce is still very cool

In our super-duper, high-tech, laser-edged, digital world we can apparently get a lot of things done and get them done fast. Good for us. Still, for me, there is nothing more enjoyable and satisfying to watch than the seemingly relaxed pace of river commerce. It too is a high-tech industry, but when I’m sitting on the bank with my camera and a cool glass of iced tea, it’s more fun to overlook that fact. I wonder what Samuel Clemens would have to say about today's river traffic.
