A favorite of mine going back to the day.  It remains apropos.  And the irony is palpable.

I said ‘mama I come to the valley of the rich,  myself to sell’

  She said ‘son this is the road to hell’

Ice Sinking

Yes, you read the title of this post correctly - Ice Sinking.  Although it is worthy of mention that this incident occurred during the Ice Drinking season.

The recent warm snap even gave my pal Sid pause and he had the presence of mind to fetch his ice drinking shanty and haul it to safe harbor on terra firma.  Not so much this dude.  He waited too long and plunged his fancy Cadillac Escalade through the thinning ice directly off-shore from Waterfront Mary's on Sturgeon Bay.

It took only a minute and a half to deep-six the expensive truck and the shanty to the bottom of the bay.

The driver escaped without physical injury.  Although I sure hope for the sake of his injured ego that this is a covered claim...
