On the local news this evening, the Kings River was described as a dangerous killer. It seems some area residents have misjudged the river's depth and swift current and have lost their lives in numerous drowning incidents.
I wish the Kings River could sue for defamation of character.
May I suggest that the true "killers" are Human Carelessness and, in some cases, Alcohol.
The runoff from this season's snow melt has made the river's current dangerously fast. On the video I viewed, the water seemed to be racing downstream.
If the Las Vegas oddsmakers could set odds on the showdown between Mother Mature and Human Carelessness, the odds would favor the Lady by at least 10 to 1 every time. Perhaps for the upcoming Labor Day weekend, one can play the 3-day Exacta.
If I were to testify in court, I would be a character witness for the Kings River: "He don't say nothing; He must know something; He just keeps rolling along. He can't keep fools from jumping in."
