Maine winters can be long, and out here in the country you take your entertainment where you can find it.
.
.
Often times, that’s on a frozen river.

Smelt, a small oily fish people enjoy fried…

… run thus time of year and intrepid Mainers set up ice fishing shacks.
.
.
Sitting in a plywood box in sub zero temps staring at a hole in the ice isn’t my idea of a good time.
.
.
But to each their own.

Because my life is nothing if not random.

Call me crazy but aren’t pickled cucumbers just… pickles?

I’m really enjoying the weird and wonderful things people find at thrift stores FB page… and would totally have bought one of these for the man cave. Feed me Seymour!

No climate change my *ss.
Ice fishing is big business up here but everyone is wondering how much longer they can survive without the actual ice.

Saw this the other day and saved it for future reference. Posting here in case anyone else wonders what those all flashing thingamagigs represent.

I don’t know what this is, but I want one.

Ohio politicians be crazy.
.

Yes, you read that correctly. An Ohio mayor thinks ice fishing shacks are being used for immoral purposes.
For all my warm climate readers? These are the ice shacks in my town.
.
.
Small plywood and tin buildings, usually uninsulated and always with a large hole in the floor. A more uncomfortable bordello you’re not apt to find.
.
.
If you’ve ever been ice fishing you know how ridiculous this is. If you haven’t? Trust me… it’s not the least bit conducive to amorous activities.
.
.
I’m going with embarrassment all day long.
