Good hint. Safety ice picks, ice fishermen use them to claw themselves out if they break through the ice. They are used to escape from iceholes . . . like tirk.
Correctomundo! I wear them around my neck when I am plowing or sweeping my pond so the kids can skate. It was minus 10 this morning so unlikely to need them, but better to have them than to have someone say "too bad he didn't have his ice claws!" You're up amigo.
Well, I am actually from south of Louisiana, Corpus Christi. I have lived most of my life in the South, but have had four different stints in the Northeast including the current one. Hopefully the five year or less plan works out and we will be back in Texas or Florida soon. I figure if you have to live up here, you might as well embrace what goes on - skating, ice drinking, err fishing, and other winter activities. If you come up for the Syracuse game next year, there is great stuff to see within a couple of hours of Syracuse.
