Truck towing bob house falls through ice in Alton

Pfft, right, we did a great job, $20 trillion in debt, tinder boxes in the Middle East and other areas. Just a general mess. You folks ragging on the young ones apparently haven't been around many of them, or perhaps the ones you raised are making you feel that way. The snowflakes we see on tv raising hell and burning things are a small minority of the young people out there. I am filled with hope with these young kids, I just hope we haven't messed up so badly they can't fix what we broke.

Welcome to the forum. Give it a day or two and the topic will turn to bob houses on sale at Walmart and open tennis courts in Meredith

All I can say is that I welcome the warm weather and hope that the ice will be going out sooner rather than later.

Sadly this was another year of sketchy at best ice conditions, but rest assured so long as the lake freezes each year people will venture out on to it and a small number will manage to go through. Just the way it is.

As long as it remains a small number Darwin won't be too busy.

We could be arguing about speeed limits, or my personal favorite from years back -- what to do if your neighbor is stealing your firewood!!

I'm sitting here in Norwell, MA on Feb 25th in shorts and a t-shirt with the windows open. Spring fever, baby!
