There's nothing wrong with this country that strapping a few more kids in like horses to help cut ice off a lake won't cure.

Here's a nice piece on ice cutting from Mankato Free Press.

The ice is stored in the shed and then in July, they'll open it up and enjoy the ice...

... that's a long route to take to get to the point: A few months from now, we'll long for that which will be going on outside this weekend.

Enjoy it while you can.
