Kissing, guess I never looked at it this way

     " I love the feeling you get before it happens.
        I love the small talk created before kissing.
        I love the awkward, yet incredibly strong eye contact with the person.
        I love the hesitation to move inward.
        I love the gentle holds on the face/neck/waist/hips.
        I love the silence when all you can hear is breath.
        I love the tilting of the head to get noses in the right place.
        I love the moment where the lips finally come together.
        I love the smile you share after the kiss.  "

Missouri River Dam Water Release

A city block, here, is 300 ft. by 300 ft. equaling 90,000 square feet. Same dimension 1 foot deep equals 90,000 cubic feet. The release from the Missouri River dams is now 150,000 cubic feet per second. 150,000 divided by 90,000 = 1.666 therefore the release from the dams would equal a 300 foot square, a city block, 19 inches deep, per second, 20 inches on me is my kneecap.
The width, out of bounds line to out of bounds line, of a football field is 160 ft. and goal line to goal line is 300 ft. 300 * 160 = 48,000 square feet. 48,000 square feet 1 foot high = 48,000 cubic feet. 150,000 / 48,000 = 3.125 * 12 = 37.5 inches. 37.5 inches on me = my belly button.
The playing floor of a professional basketball court is 50 feet wide by 94 feet long. 50 * 94 = 4700 square feet. 4700 square feet 1 foot high = 4700 cubic feet. 150,000 / 4700 = 31.914893. The basketball hoop is 10 feet high so as you watch the game tonight imagine enough water per second to cover the playing floor to 3 times the height of the basket rim or 30 feet plus another foot for good measure.
