a shaky way to make a living

---------------------

Strong winds from the north forced me to cut short my visit to Au Train Bay.  Temperatures are still under 40 degrees and we've seen snow showers the past couple of days.

The ice on Au Train Lake has been forced to the Buck Bay area.  The northern half of the lake is free of ice as long as the wind keeps coming from the north.

"Work is all right for killing time, but it's a shaky way to make a living."

- the character Ward Harper, Manic Maverick chapter, from Curtis White's novel "Memories of my Father Watching Television"
