Flying to Ottawa. I packed a coat. River will still be partially frozen
Had the first night of auditions for 12th Night last night. Second night is Wednesday. Callbacks are Thursday.
I asked a widow if I could have a word at the funeral. I stood up and said "Plethora"'. She said "Thanks, that means a lot".
Treacherous times in the northern regions, especially for those who didn't excel at science. We've had about six guys die in recent weeks falling thru the ice on their four wheelers as they go ice fishing...happens every year, guys drivie remarkably close to open water.
Despite warnings from the state and fish and game people, there are always dullards who drive amazingly close to open water. Most of the time they get away with it, but I'm not sure these are the kind of folks who learn a whole lot from the "first guy."
A lake where we visit in the summers often has early season entertainment: the state requires that vehicles that fall through the ice (and I'm talking about some $60,000 trucks among other things) have to be retrieved by the owners...so specialized companies come in, send divers down to the vehicle (fortunately the lake isn't terribly deep) and they attach massive rubber balloons to the truck, inflate them, up pops the vehicle. Can't be inexpensive, makes for interesting viewing.
