Just remember we still don't know what was involved here. We do know these boys, at least one, the survivor, was a strong swimmer. Swam with my eldest son on high school swim team. Other two boys allegedly decided to stay at canoe so said one who survived to one of my son's buds who all were friends with. One of those deceased was a marine biologist. Whatever the situation (drinking still unknown), two died. One didn't. They likely didn't have military survival training, as most of us don't. I envy that you can swim 200 yards in your sleep. I wish we all could, especially in 45º water. I imagine the parents of the two lost ones wish the same.

Welcome aboard! From TX to NY. Sorry for your loss I've lived in both. Texas was better! Tho I did meet my wife in Western NY. So there's that super plus for the tundra.

I'd say not for everyone. 600 yards is a long way in 40º +/- water. The man who survived did swim with my son on a swim team...not sure the others. Among many other threads over the years. Too many.

Local tragedy here in Yorktown, VA over the weekend. My eldest son knew two of these men. The survivor, and one of those who didn't make it. Details not fully known, appears, but not confirmed, that life vests were not worn. Hypothermia set in quickly with water temps. https://www.wavy.com/news/local-news/two-men-missing-after-going-canoeing-overnight-in-york-county/ USCG Captain expressed it this way, emphasis mine: “We extend our deepest condolences to all of those family members and friends who are affected during this difficult time,” Carroll said. “We always try to impress the importance of safety equipment, even something as simple as wearing a life jacket, so that we can help assist you.”

I do. I remember when Galyon's at Marketplace Mall became a DSG.

He really got me back into watching the NBA. Absolutely loved his relentless, driven, competitiveness.

A legend is gone. Very sad news. Loved his game, followed his career. RIP Kobe, and condolences to his wife and four daughters. **Story updated, one of his daughters also died. 13 yr old Gigi, they were on way to b'ball practice. https://www.tmz.com/2020/01/26/kobe-bryant-killed-dead-helicopter-crash-in-calabasas/

S'hawks v. Pack not exactly a great main event compared to KC v. Houston. A-rod looking pretty sharp, though. But hey, I've got no dog in this fight (Bills ?).

That about sums up the 2nd quarter, I'll reckon.
