Signs of a Paddleholic

hehe, don't know about you folks, but since becoming a paddler:

  • Find myself staring at any standing water bigger than a surfski
  • Any sight or sound of moving water gets my attention (except maybe dishwasher or flushing of toilet)
  • Pictures of waves seem to have deep meaning
  • Any sight of a boat in any condition tugs at my line of sight
  • Cars with rack on them must be someone I know, or their friends
  • I get neck pains after a drive to Seattle on the freeway (was that a boat? or just some lumber on that truck in the other lane?)
  • I wave at every car with a boat on it's rack (when it's a touring kayak I try to keep my hand below the dashboard since they seem to think I'm trying to sell them life insurance or something)
  • Stormy weather makes my heart beat faster

It's like the signs of a paddle-a-holic. Don't want no cure.
