In case you didn't realize how cold
it is in the Midwest, thought you would be interested in this.
Norwegian Icebreaker heads up the
Mississippi River
As you may have seen
on the
news it's been very cold in Minnesota . So cold, in fact, that
the US Corp of Engineers has borrowed a Norwegian Icebreaker to clear
the Mississippi River for freighter traffic. The Icebreaker is
starting near Winona and working its way northward.
Here is a picture as the hard work of ice breaking
begins. Impressive!

Damn global warming! Where's algore's hot air when we need it?
ReplyDeleteGoogled it to see the "news". Very funny, but your post is missing the pictorial punchline. :)
ReplyDeletedid you roll over the green word "picture?"
ReplyDeleteYou know? I was wearing polarized shades when reading. Totally missed it. sheesh. Thanks for correction.
ReplyDeleteSome serious shrinkage goin' on, there, boss.
ReplyDelete'Course ... a guy who'd do that can prob'ly afford some.
My advice (remembering my Michigan-wintered childhood) is to keep movin', son. If the broken lane starts freezin', you have a problem. Usin' that axe at less than arm's length could result in permanent shrinkage.
Looks like a damned Swede to me.
ReplyDeleteI miss the good old 1600s when they used to hold ice fairs at London on the frozen Thames.

It is indeed a bit brisk this morning here in Minnesota. With the wind chill, we have -20's temps. My truck was a LITTLE grumpy about starting this AM.
