fisherman

On my personal list of "things I've done but never want to do again," going ice-fishing is right near the top. It's right next to diaper-changing and eating haggis (although, those two things are remarkably similar).

In case you didn't know, we've got at least one Black Bear in the Rockford area. Bear talk (not the kind involving the Monsters of the Midway) has dominated local conversation for the last few days, with many wondering what they would/should do if they were to find a bear in their yard or driveway...
