I snapped this picture at 3.30 on Wednesday. It's a barge, with a backhoe on it, in the middle of Dwight Bay. The backhoe is being used to break the ice, so the barge can wiggle its way through it.
Now, there's a couple of things that come to mind. One, that's a cold lonely job.
Two, at 3.30 p.m. you've got about one hour of daylight left, but you've got more than half of the bay to cross...
Three... well, three is that most of us are waiting for the lake to freeze, so we can get back out on top of it in the tried and true tradition of using the lakes as highways, for rinks, ice fishing huts, snowmobile trails.
And four -- we're glad that job didn't fall to us!
