Fishing Below Kentucky Dam

The waters below Kentucky Dam abound in Catfish for which the Tennessee River is famous.  Thousands of enthusiastic fishermen come to the waters of Kentucky Lake yearly, for such thrills as pictured here.

Dam, those are boring.

There. Now no one else will feel obligated to make the obligatory joke.

I think "for such thrills as pictured here" is one of my favorite postcard lines ever.

Aviatrix said...

Yes, to what Mrs. 5000 said. Henceforth, I will use that line in every postcard I write. When I remember.

See, my favorite detail from this bunch is the tautology in the caption for the first one. All of the Norris's have kind of a hypnotic effect. If Phillip Glass was going to write an oratorio based on boring postcards, I'd send him this one.
