This is a cool shot from Becci Corder from this year's Witches' Paddle on Harrison Lake. The event raised $235 for cancer research.

It’s β€˜per se,’ not β€˜per say.’
It’s β€˜dog-eat-dog world,’ not β€˜doggy-dog world.’

It’s β€˜one and the same,’ not β€˜one in the same.’
It's 'buck naked,' not 'butt naked.'
