Ice Fishing?
Does anyone else other than me
think that this looks unsafe?
Take a good look.
That is water at the shore,
not ice
and
while this is far away,
those are people and little sheds
and
stuff.
Just driving by and looking at that made me shiver.
Not just with cold,
but with fear!
but with fear!
It brought back memories.
Teenage years,
and
ice skating.
I loved to ice skate.
Find me a frozen anything and those skates
were strapped on and I was gliding.
However,
being young,
we didn't always do the proper checks on the ice.
Luckily,
the time that unsafe practice
reared it's ugly head
only involved
thigh deep water....
but still,
it was really cold!
Quite the memorable childhood experience.
But back to the picture.
Saturday night at dinner with friends,
I showed the picture to the resident
ice fishing expert
(well actually, I only know a couple of ice fishing people so that made him an expert in my book)
He assured me that this was all safe.
As for me,
I am not about to try it!

I cringe every time they go out there, and I give a big long speech to them about safety. Oh my, they just do not listen.
They are out there every chance they get, which is twice a week. Last year, the ice was breaking up at shore by the time they were ready to leave, they couldn't get off the ice. The trucks back wheels fell through the ice. Thank God it was by shore. My yelling and screaming when they got Home did not help. They still go out there. I am with you on this one.
