It is just a wild concept to think that if you stand on the bank of the River and walk away you walk down hill.

It is even weirder during flood stage when you walk or drive up the levee and are suddenly confronted with that giant river and it is 10 - 20 feet above the ground behind the levee.

ltns...too long...you caught Mr. O or Mr. AZ yet?

Nope, but O is probably in Northern Waziristan with his dozen bodyguards watching satellite TV. I'm not on duty. Waiting for a call...
