River stage

Moisture is extra water in the chamber. Wind is a shove. Name both.

Remy reads the Red the way a tender reads a rise. A stamp that ignored the stage is just enamel.

When the river is up, morning air holds and windows flood. When the river is down and the breeze runs down-street, starts drift. We keep a stage note on every log so a June recheck is not a fight about memory.

If you refuse to name a stage, Beau marks the log "costume" and the gate stays down.
