Not quite as high up the levee as in that postcard, but enormously full of water nonetheless. It's probably the only interesting thing ever produced by rain in north Texas.

Your comment, applied to the postcard, makes perfect sense. How goofy of me to have read it off-center. Yeah, I don't think the Trinity <i>ever</i> approached such a height. To look at that image, you'd think it was Lake Pontchartrain. By the way, another detail: I do love the "Seagram's 7" billboard. It's like a beacon beckoning Oak Cliff-dwellers to cross on over to the promised land (Industrial Boulevard?) and buy 'em some likker. Well, call me a baboon!

It practically calls out for a dead body. I was simply referring to the image in the post card with the water clean and blue and up near the viaduct. It's sort of an idealized version of Dallas. The one everyone wishes were true. Oh, I’m with you Sheila. It practically calls out for a dead body.

That is, I <i>do</i> associate the Trinity with corpse-dumping, same as I do any of the Cook County Forest Preserves. Where is it that luckless wanderers stumble upon 'decomposed remains'? Why, in and around Chicago, it's any one of the many forest preserves. In Dallas, it's the bottomlands through which the Trinity flows. When I was a youngster, the very phrase 'Trinity River bottoms' gave me the heebie-jeebies! Deron, it’s true!
