Why do I love float tubing ?? I DON'T - I float tube 'cause it's better than swimming . Boats are nice , but they are a pain in the nevermind to use by yourself , plus they cost a lot to run/maintain/launch . Float tubin' keeps me in tune with nature and basic human emotions ... fear , for example . Ever try to cross the arm @ rattlesnake bar on Folsom in July ??? That's right ! You haven't - it is big-time SCAREY to be a target for every yahoo in a skiboat/Bassboat/jetski on the lake . It's like being a pylon at an air race . Another emotion is pride .... 31 degrees out , blowin' wind , whitecaps , ALL of your friends are at home ... nice and cozy . Where are you ? That's right !! Freezing on a lake somewhere ! As you bob and drift , you think "Yea... this is the life !! Everybody's missin' out - they are a bunch of sissys for not goin' out today !" Remember that scene from Titanic ? The one where the little fella turns into an ice cube ? No wonder pride is one of the 7 deadly sins ....
