The heat is on here in San Antonio and with that comes swimming and tubing on the Guadalupe and Comal rivers.  Unfortunatley, it also comes with the sad news of drownings that happen every year.  I still don't understand why people who cannot swim eagerly jump into the water hoping that their tube will help them in danger.

Not that there isn't danger for even the best swimmers but to jump in the water when you know you can't swim is beyond me.  Why take the risk? 

It's like those who attempt to cross high water and then are surprised when their vehicle is swept away.  Why take the risk?

Life is to precious.
