20, Souris Manitoba So you choose food - good work! It shows a healthy self-preservation instinct. You pack in a supply of Doritos, Pizza Pops, and Mountain Dew until only three inches separates your canoe from a quick trip to the river bottom. What good are scientific instruments? Your superior intellect should enable you to assess any situation, your natural scientific instincts should allow for a quick solution to any problem. Even so, you do reserve some space for essentials - matches, a hatchet, and a 12 gauge shotgun so as to better observe any wildlife that crosses your path. You face your next command decision:
 Choices: Rivers may only run one way but you can run two ways on them. What to do? Paddling upstream (where you're likely to find the cause of the problem) might be logical - but it's sure a lot of work! It is getting late and you're both tired. On
the
other hand, downstream travel is more in keeping with both your
paddling style and your rather puny biceps. Perhaps it
will allow you to more closely examine the results of the decrease in
flow, and determine a possible motive for whatever dastardly deed has
caused the problem.
