Damn.
WDEL reports that a man was killed while kayaking on the Brandywine River yesterday. A rotted tree fell on him. What the hell are the odds of that??? I love kayaking, but I only have the opportunity to do it down at my parents’ house in Bethany Beach. I was planning on getting my own kayak and going out on the Brandywine, but now, with trees falling out of the sky, I don’t know about that.
I read that. I wondered if the he was killed by the impact of the tree, or if it pinned him underwater and he drowned.
Have you always thought like Stephen King? I assumed the tree… but now, thanks to you 🙂 , I’ll have nightmares!
Years of forest neglect. Sorry about the death…but, having canoed on the Brandywine, I wonder with the sun soooo hot and the water level soooo low (no rapids to speak of) people want to be on the river…..except for truck tire tube-ing and drinking cold drinks.

Of course at this time of year it’s truck tire tube-ing and drinking cold drinks. Neither sun intensity nor water level matter for this great adventure.
Get your kayak, DD. Your real worry on the Brandywine is adequate water levels to do any kayaking in.
instead of a kayak, buy a bubble and a good tv and not leave your parents basement, its safer there. unless they have mold.
Can we arrest the tree?
Man that song by Rush “Trees” is such a great song!
