(I thought of you immediately!) I doubt if I'll go as I still have a rotten cough. Why tempt Murphy's law?

I see these ice fisthermen all over my town and there are dozens of them and they are stoked to be out there.<BR/><BR/>The ones that risk their lives to ice fish confuse me even more. I honestly think its a guy thing though. Half the fun to them is the potential danger involved and getting a really big fish to brag to the other guys over a beer later that evening.<BR/><BR/>The ones on the news this weekend really frosted me though. Use your common sense next time people.Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05539583838978744802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5091316613928276649.post-9550869438728809672009-02-09T13:14:00.000-05:002009-02-09T13:14:00.000-05:00there was a few reports about this on the news her...there was a few reports about this on the news here<BR/><BR/>I ended up screaming at the TV (again) when this one guy who was rescued was chuckling about how "guys gotta do what guys gotta do"<BR/><BR/>he was right out of Beavis and Butthead<BR/><BR/>all these people risked their lives - not to mention the resources used - to resuce this moron and he thinks it's one big joke - a grown man!!Diannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02946500110072411468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5091316613928276649.post-90128545345532423712009-02-09T12:53:00.000-05:002009-02-09T12:53:00.000-05:00We heard about that right after they were rescued:...We heard about that right after they were rescued: Matt and I thought you might post on it! *grin* I see the water changing yes.

IF they want to be that stupid, that's okay.. BUT-to put the rescuers lives in danger looking for them is something else entirely. Why do so many people LOVE living on the 'edge' of life????? Why do people enjoy those 'extreme' sports????? STUPID if you ask me!!!!

If there's a crack in the ice - sounds like conditions are changing. I think what bothers me most is those fisherman endangered the lives of rescue personnel who have to go get their sorry butts. <BR/>Okay, I'm stepping off my soap box.<BR/>Nice photo!Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17534904024320623895noreply@blogger.com
