This is January

I'm posting two photos from my trip to Minnehaha Falls yesterday. The first one is from below the falls and depicts some people walking on the ice over the creek without much fear of falling in. It was very cold but the water under the ice was running. A little dangerous perhaps, but an attractive pile of ice was sticking out from the hillside. No one got hurt.



And this is one of the kayakers in the Mississippi at the end on Minnehaha Creek. He, too, is engaged in a perilous activity. The temperature was in the single digits, so if he capsized, he would have been in hypothermia almost immediately. Minnesota seems to encourage this sort of individual to defy death.



It was another cold day today, starting below zero and reminding us all that this is a cold state.

Curling, another ice related activity, is on the agenda again tonight. Our three game streak is on the line.
