      God damn our local lake used to freeze over and people would drive cars on it.

        Yuuup good times. Going places you could only access by car if you crossed a frozen lake or river. Some of my fondest memories as a child. I would never in a million years attempt this today.

          Yes! That just made me remember a time in highschool over 20 years ago now… We got off the bus and looked over at the bay that was completely frozen and decided to walk over to an island we would always see but never knew what was there. I took a big rock and kept throwing it in front of us to see if the ice cracked

          Tons of bird bones. So many bones… Lol

            Huh! Bird bone island! Sounds nice! Kinda like my backyard by the end of summer.

            My cat likes to leave me mountains of bodies and bones. 🥰

      Not all that long ago, either …… early in my career I worked in downtown Boston, and one of the guys claimed to commute by ice skating down the Charles River. Ok, I’m old for online but not that old
