Covered with fences and cops and lightposts
I was anxiously waiting for winter’s icy hammer to fall for a while before the blizzard we had last week. After an altogether disappointing summer, I’d been expecting the worst for months, but instead, we had a long, drawn-out fall. In the midwest, that’s about the best you can hope for. Nonetheless, earlier this month I knew our days were numbered, so I headed over to the beach before it turned into a skating rink.


There’s a fence around the entire thing now, which I think is less of an attempt to keep people out so much as a warning that you really don’t want to go in that water. Sometimes you’ve got to protect people from themselves, nah’mean?


And yeah, I guess you’d have to be a pretty big goon if you went diving there at any time of the year. Swimming rocks!
