Watching people trying to cross the river as it's melting.......it's funny to see what "gods" they have prayed to guide them across........it's just a matter of time and we will be witnessing some baptismals here........well, our local Ischim river is very shallow so it will be difficult for any of them to drown anyway..........why there is no local ice skating rink for the young kids to skate upon is beyond me........we do have lots of ice fisherman, however,.............go figure...........our weather here has been very nice I must say..............I now wear my parka totally zipped down and no scarf or gloves.........it's wonderful...............
