Have you ever thought to yourself, "This is what could kill me.  Yep.  This right here."  I seem to be thinking that more and more often.  Earlier today, I thought that while I jumped off a short embankment into a lake I knew nothing about.  There are hikes in large expanses of state-owned woods, you know the kind of woods where people get lost and die?  Well, these kinds of woods make you sign in and out, so they know if there will be any lost dead people.  I signed in and followed the trail, like an obedient person.  It was very quiet, excepting all the animal noises, mostly birds and rodents, of course.  It was also hot and after about an hour I came across this lake.  I hadn't seen another human this whole time.  I took off my hiking boots, my socks, my shirt and my pants, and I jumped in wearing only my skivvies.  What the hell was I thinking?  Oh, I know: This is what could kill me.  Yep.  This right here.
