My neighbour, proving just how drunk you

can get if you try really hard. The water is only about four feet deep; so he's not in any real danger(but you can drown in a mud puddle right?) However, someone dies every other year doing this on lakes or the river. Yes, I have done it once and no, not on purpose.

The ice is pretty much gone on both the mackenzie and liard rivers. I hear on the moccasin telegraph that the ferry might go in the water on monday, fingers crossed for operations by friday.

I would like to give a shout out and big congratulations to my niece Michelle and her family on the impending renovations to their family.
