I was walking alone alongside the Sevier river the other day. This part of the river was wide and slow, perfect for floating and swimming. Behind me a small way was a truck carrying a half a dozen teenagers and floating tubes. Due to some trick of the acoustics in the area, I could hear one person whistling Come Thou Fount as clearly as if he were standing behind my right ear.

Do you remember when, as a teenager, some things were just funny for no reason whatsoever? I hear one of the young ladies in the truck giggle: "Look! Some random guy! hahahaha!" The "random guy" was me. I turned and waved, and a boy said, "Dude, he can hear you! hahahaha!" They pass me by giggling like they had found the richest joke ever.
