When the World Freezes Over

 ...Go Ice Fishing.  It's been almost 5 years since I educated you on  ice fishing.  Which means it has been almost 5 years since I went ice fishing.  Two things I neglected to tell you to take with you in my original account:
1.  Someone who loves you enough to bait your hook.  Not that you don't know how to bait your own hook, or are grossed out by fish bait.  Just because your hands are frozen and do not function with wiggly things attached to sharp things.  Bonus if the willing baiter is as good looking as the STP.

2.  Your camera.  Because before your hands become totally non functioning you will see things you want to remember and show your friends who do not have a big frozen lake nearby.

Like a snow devil moving across the far side of your frozen lake.

And your first ice fish you ever caught.  Ever.

And storms rolling in.

A few last notes concerning ice fishing:

1.  Ice fishing is way more fun if you actually catch fish.

2.  Wind is more entertaining when it is creating snow devils on the far side of the lake than when it is relentlessly whipping snow down your neck.

3.  Once every five years is about the right number of times to ice fish.
