But if you think for t one minute that I would step my big toe in a canoe dressed as you see fit, you are a wee bit cra-a-azy. Imagine trying to balance a hot house of wild flowers and butterflies on my head and paddle a canoe at the same time! That veil you wear reminds me of a canary cake; I would just as soon let my hair down and see vhere I was going than to have those black spots playing hop skotch before my eyes. Gee, don’t you almost choke with that veil twisted under your chin as tight as possible and tucked into that formidably high collar, rising in peaks on the side clear up to your mas toid bone ? Why all the distortion? You might just as well enter the torture chamber as advocate that “kangaroo bend.” Go ahead and have your fun and see if I care; this is life, this is America, this is Oregon, this is Eugene; Freedom is here today, so take it while you may. If I fall in now it won’t make an difference because to me canoeing calls for sunshine and a bathing suit . . . and I do mean a 1940 model. Wondering if I’ll ever see you again. MISS 1940.
