Swimming in a Fish Bowl Year After Year



   On June 13, 2014, I returned to the Hudson River in Alpine, New Jersey. I didn't catch anything or stay long. The heavens opened up, and it quickly became unbearable. In the above photo, you can normally see Yonkers across the Hudson when it's not covered by a thick layer of fog.



   As you can see from the image above, where I usually go quickly flooded, and I was standing in several inches of water.

   It was a miserable experience. I abandoned the Alpine Disaster of 2014 and returned home to dry off.
