I Am Not On The Trinity River Vision Boondoggle Payroll

I think that is J.D. Granger's wife talking to a camera with a lot of inner tubes floating in the Trinity River behind her.

At least that's what I was told when I asked who she was.

"JD's wife, Shanna," was the reply to my question.

I was on the pedestrian bridge over the Trinity, looking down on the scene of floaters and this interview below me.

There were a lot of Trinity River Vision Boondoggle people in blue "I DELIVER FOR THE RIVER" t-shirts standing around behind the cameraman.

When the TRVB people in blue saw me being a cameraman taking pictures and video of the cameraman, several of them looked at me with what Hawaiians call stink eye.

I was in disguise. There's no way they could have suspected I was that guy who is not a big Trinity River Vision Boondoggle supporter. I doubt any of them would even know I am not a big TRVB supporter. I only have a couple of people who read my blog.

One of the few people who read my blog read this morning's blogging about last night's Rockin' the River party and said, "Me thinks they have added you to the payroll?"

How rude.

I'm an honest guy. I described what I saw last night the way I saw it. I did not see a lot to criticize or make fun of. Except for the idea of getting in that murky, green river.

Yes, I did wonder how much this "free" event cost.

How much did each of those 600 inner tubes cost? They were big tubes. Then there was the old yellow school bus that served as a shuttle taking lazy people, and their coolers, the short distance from the parking lot to the float zone.

I thought Rockin' the River looked like fun.

Except for being in that river.

I'm thinking of going to the next Rockin' of the River with my kayak and float among the floaters. But staying dry whilst doing so.
