steel spiderwebs
---------------------

It was another sunny,
unseasonably warm day. I am convinced that ice fishing
activity on Au Train Lake has increased because of nonexistent ice
on Munising Bay.
Thanks to poor snow
conditions everywhere else, Alger County seems to have a bumper crop
of snowmobilers at the moment. Our conditions are hardly
optimal.

My father told me, while sipping white wine, that at times the type of
thinking he did was so difficult that it formed steel spiderwebs in his mind
and that drinking was the only way he knew how to get rid of them.
