I was wondering if anybody has heard anything. I have a friend who knows someone on the Fort Worth water committee and they said that the Trinity has tested positive.

It sounds crazy . Like the river should have used a condom . I don't know the science behind and if its congestion through water . I was just seeing if any fellow kayakers have heard anything.

As a standalone statement, water-borne STD is an oxymoron. For one to acquire, as a full reading of the acronym would illuminate, an STD in a river would require one to have congress with said river. A concept that is extremely abstract and not one I wish to contemplate even if I could. :lol:

Those warnings about the Trinity have been around a long time. They just recently removed some warning from Lake Worth. But I don't know about The Trinity. I wonder how often they check these warnings and update them.

Perhaps someone confused PCB with STD?

Let's see....Prophylactic Condom Bias might be a disease somewhere, somehow????? Probably on the Endangered Species List.

Now, THAT would explain it, wouldn't it???

The irony contained in this is almost beyond comprehension. Almost.
