Joseph Schneiderwind, 48, of Conifer, CO had to be rescued from the rain-swollen S Platte River a mile east of the Nebraska-Colorado state line after he and his 54 year old brother tried to canoe it.
"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther
The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it. ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is. ~Winston Churchill

I hope he and his brother get to foot the bill for the rescue, now is not the time for distracting first responders from the emergencies already at hand. I can't help but wonder what the motivation was for this bone headed move...
I can explain it to you but I can't understand it for you.
