Mystery of the Week
Check out the "Mystery Photo". Early this week, a bike appeared on Findley Lake at the boat ramp. When it first appeared, there was a cleared area of ice about 30' out from the ramp and the bike was another 15' or so further out. Since there was no obvious hole in the ice and since there were people out and about, it appeared to be a childish prank. Now, almost a week later, the bike remains. Who's bike is it? Will someone retrieve it? Is it frozen into the ice? It takes one back to the days (before my time) when they use to race cars on the lake. I think "Prairie Home Companion" had a recurring theme of bets being taken each winter as to the date that a sacrificial car, parked out on the ice, would descend into the depths, thereby declaring the official arrival of Spring. Anyone want to put bets on when the "bike-sicle" will disappear into the water? Winner will get the bike when it is hauled out of the water in the Spring.
