I say, women, make your spouses sign their wills before leaving. Now, I know many families engage in these activities, but it would be prudent, with the number of young men who nearly drown, to prepare ahead.

Shack is tip of the iceberg
April 13, 2011 A shack from the ice fishing season was not removed off King’s Bay on Mississippi Lake, close to Scotch Corners in Beckwith Township.I took a walk in the bog, in spring the water is three feet or about a metre deep. Even THAT is not solid!
On a recent bog trip, I sunk down into water in the middle.
How people think the lakes are solid is beyond me.
The edges are wet under the trees, the middle is wet underneath. We've had such warm temperatures lately.

I'm always impressed with people who VOLUNTEER to be firefighters. It can be dangerous work. It irritates me when people uncaringly do things that put the firefighters at risk.
I agree with my friend Kay in Hawaii. It's bad enough when some people put themselves at risk when they ought to know better, but when they put goodhearted people like volunteer firefighters at risk, it is criminal. Fortunately, there are very few ice-fishing shacks in Hawaii.
I'm still feeling so sad about Sarge, the dog in your sidebar. It's heartbreaking when a pet goes missing.
