And with all of the gases depleted from the canal water, you sink to the
bottom,
or so I'm told.
It's the myth that counts.
Speaking of tripping over the intoxicated...when in Amsterdam, it appears
that the rule is that you have to urinate on the street at night. Most of
the men there do it. Young and old alike. It's het ein Dutch traadition
that staands out in my meemory. The smeell of used Oranjeboom waafting in
het air.

Hello Philip! I don't know you and I've never thought of you, but I
can tell that you are well liked and that your writing is stunning. So
welcome back from me, too!
Most of the canals in romantic Amsterdam don't have railings along
their edges, so be careful not to trip over any overdosed drug
addicts late at night.
Kent
