The Mississippi was a mile from the house. I was forbidden to swim in it by my Mom, way too much temptation. At first we swam in our Fruit of the Looms, but the silt turned them tan.....obvious forensic evidence to any Mom, so we pitched them. From then on it was skinny dippin in the Big Muddy, jumping off grain barges that were moored to the bank & empty one's were about 20' off the water. Tales of Tom Sawyer ran through our heads.....what a great time that now seems like a million years ago.
now days youd get brain eating amoeba attacking you......
