...waited. I guessed wrong, as I always do. After a moment or two, they popped up in an opposite, unexpected quarter. The loon is a deadpan wit. We repeated the game three times. At last, they tired of me, and vanished. As I paddled across flat water to the dock, I heard a single loon call in the swampish bay beyond the lodge - the loneliest sound on earth, a premonition of winter, of what's to come...
...looked like the kind of moment that opposition researchers spend their lives trying to unearth.

Scary Movie had this writer giggling like Beavis on helium, yet it's a raunchy piece of work and not easily described in printable detail...
This spring I got that opportunity. Along with a rotating crew of two dozen TIME writers and reporters, I took a two-week trip down the river on the Grampa Woo III, a delightful chartered boat with a very flexible captain, Dana Kollars, who was able to dock or anchor to suit our reporting needs. We made 40 or so stops along the way, some planned and others serendipitous, listening to the issues people were discussing and searching for stories that showed how our nation is coping at the start of a new century. Then we dispatched reporters...
