Logging companies have historically and still today use rivers to transport logs. Ever heard of the amusement park ride called "log jammer"? This is the real version of that. People would have to ride on a single log in order to guide and unjam other logs. It was an incredibly dangerous job. Anyhow this is probably from some sort of educational tour
Perfect balance: one guy up front who obviously gets haft of the raft so he can pull them under properly, two guys further back gets another fifth of the length, then twenty people sinking at the back. Perfection.
That guy at the front looks like "launching staff" and not even dressed for the ride. I wonder if he's pulled up and off the raft on the other side of that bridge.
Totally, no one's stopping anyone. It's like I'm Scandinavian and if I see someone about to eat some Lutefisk, I'm not going to stop them but I will give them "you're a fucking idiot" look
While I did not take that picture (searched "snow" on imgur [pronounced "imgur"]), I did groggily schlep through KeflavÃk airport at predawn last fall.

For he goes birling down and down white water
That's where the log driver learns to step lightly

That looks not dangerous at all.

What? No, that's there so he doesn't dull the billhook. You always want to keep your polearms in top condition.

Nevermind that metal hook on a stick that he's about to lose his grip on and take out half that field trip.

This is the kind of white people shit white people should be talking about instead of white supremacy shit.

thats some racist comment shit.
FelonyRaptor
As a white dude, I try not to be racist towards myself but sometimes I fail. Sorry.
Blackfinity
Basically, but as white people do we really care?
SteamPriest
We care about equality, racism is racism.

And here I've been told that it's racist to assume black people can't go near water...

The only question I ever thought was hard was...do I like Kirk or do I like Picard?
