Serves you right...

From MPR this morning. (Paraphrased, but the details are accurate)


"Several ice fishing house were broken into in Northern MN which has resulted in hundreds of dollars worth of goods, including fishing equipment and propane tanks."


"Ice fishing houses on Lake Minnetonka were robbed last week. Items include stereo equipment, propane tanks, and flat screen TV's. Estimates as to the amount of goods that were stolen are around $7,000."

Sighs...

You know something? I always thought that ice fishing was a moment of Zen for guys when their wives kicked them out. Sit in a shanty over a dark hole. Eating beef jerky from the local gas station. Swilling PBR out of the can. (Or Wild Turkey if that's your thing.) Breathing in propane heated air (And the occasional prrrt) while hoping to land a muskie or Northern when you'll probably walk away with some perch, blue gills, or a sauger.

Flat screen TV's? Really? Ain't you got no mama? And here I thought the acme of our societies overzealousness for entertainment was when they started putting DVD player's in Mini-van's and SUV's. I mean, s#it, we had to get away with reading while our parents yelled at us to "PUT DOWN THE BOOKS AND LOOK AT NATURE!!!"
