The oddest thing I felt Sunday after three and a half hours in the kayak with my hands on the paddle pulling myself along was in the car afterwards. I got into the car and put my hands very close together on the tiny steering wheel, which is turned with the very gentlest touch. Cars are everything technology can offer to laziness, the steering mechanism has a motor in it to take care of any actual effort that might be required. It felt really strange for a few minutes.
