The DNR requires all fish houses to be off Minnesota lakes in the southern two-thirds of the state by midnight Monday. Judging by the suburbia-looking tracks on the lake, a lot of houses have already been removed. (You can click the image for a larger image).

By the way, do you suppose this farmer got an earful from his spouse when he heard about the guy who spread manure in the shape of a heart on Valentine's Day?
