Here's a photo from a happier Fourth of July, taken near the bank of the South Canadian River*, which runs just south of my childhood home, Norman OK. 1957, I think.

In Oklahoma, there's a saying, "the rivers are a mile wide and an inch deep." Except after storms, they're mostly wide flat strips of sand.

*Celebrated in song by Michael Martin Murphey
