Today it's overcast and breezy, but unseasonably warm--up into the 60s on the Fahrenheit thermometer.
Having stayed out late seeing some live music, I slept in this morning, and as I dragged myself out of bed I just about decided to skip paddling. But once I was more awake I realized that days as nice as today are rare this winter, so I went on down for a 60-minute session. I was a bit tired in the boat and just paddled steady.
As I paddled past the Memphis Queen docking facility, I saw a big, fat, furry brown beaver on one of the floating docks. I was almost on top of him before he saw me and slipped into the water. He didn't slap his tail on the surface, so I guess he didn't consider me too much of a threat.
