| LIFE ON THE EDGE (OF THE ICE) |
Sunday, 9:30 AM. 37 degrees F, wind WSW, light with occasional gusts. The sky has some high clouds, haze and overcast, all of which is dissipating. The humidity is 83% and the barometer is at 29.95" and is rising.
Regarding my grousing about Chinese farm grown bluegills in yesterday's post, Almanac reader Doug Petersen says I should stop complaining, get a cane pole, dig some worms and go fishing. I guess he's right.
No doubt about it, people like to test the limits of things and live life "on the edge." That includes the Ice Road. Everyone knows it is closed, but if the sign is knocked over, folks will pretend it is safe to drive on it. Then they wonder why they got stuck. The same applies to fishing on the edge of the ice near open water.
Someone always gets their tongue frozen to the pump handle.
