No Swimming Allowed

Durango's been talking about the Trinity River lately, and when we received a link to the article from Oklahoma below, well, it makes you wonder if floating (and Wakeboarding) on the Trinity River is really such a good idea. If you still can't decide, think about this.

First, from Durango -

Yesterday after I mentioned that I had considered kayaking among the floaters in J.D. Granger's upcoming Rockin' the River Happy Hour Inner Tube Floats on the feces infested Trinity River someone named Anonymous commented....

"Looks like the stage is up on the river's edge again for the J.D. & Friends Poop O'Matic Float A'Thon."

I did not know the name of the river floating event had been changed to Poop O'Matic Float A'Thon. I guess it's a more fitting name.

And this from the OUDaily

Seems a whole bunch of people got sick from e coli, etc. in the water. 

It says swimming is "not usually allowed in the Oklahoma River, or any Oklahoma City lake or river."

Now WHY would OK City ("usually") not allow people to get in the dirty water and back here in Fort Worth, Texas they are duped in to doing so?   Kind of challanges a rumor we've heard all these years about Texans being smarter than Oklahoma.
