June 16 - Car-Top Boat Racks

A car with a kayak strapped to the top promises the joys of summer. Even if the car is in the city in a grocery store parking lot, surely the owners are heading to a beautiful spot somewhere in the wilderness.

They must be adventurous types, the kind of people who cook potatoes over an open fire and can identify wild animal tracks in the mud.

We construct their destination in our imaginations to match our own dreams. A Type A craving excitement sees the kayak threading between rocks in cold, white rapids. A stressed-out office worker places the kayak on a glassy lake surrounded by tall, dark spruces.
