Tornado Alley (PROG)

[fuagf]

We used to skate on a creek in Burnaby, BC, which then connected to Burnaby Lake ..

None of the park infrastructure was there in the early '50s. Some distance from the lake there was a bridge over the creek and of course the ice was thinner under the bridge. It was great fun getting up speed, then coasting under the bridge, to the crackling sound you created. You didn't skate under the bridge at those times unless you wanted to boost the risk of a cold bath.

Global warming of course denies today's children of that winter joy.

"That prick skates on everything."

Until time and the IRS catches up to you. Sometimes ice cracks. Heh, am gonna post that Times article.
