What A Difference.....A Hour....Makes

(With apologies to Dinah Washington)... 

...but on my way to a local watering hole, I wasn't expecting to have to step in a hole of water.

This is under a bridge where a river runs through it.  

It is a tidal river.....

...so rises and falls on the tides.

And it looked like it was right at its upper limit.  But I wasn't sure.

I didn't know if the tide was still coming in or going out.

But an hour, and a couple wobbly pops, later.....

Whew...high and dry.

Of course, really, what was the downside?

Waiting six or so more hours at the watering hole?

I'll be back.
