Go drill a hole in the ice in the middle of winter, dip in a glass and have a refreshing drink. The water is sparkling and spotless.

This I have to try. I've waded across the Ass. River close to Polo Park during the fall, and flung mud at friends off the river bottom, probably not smart.
Remember the boat yard on pritchard, with the I belive it was, Sharks teeth and jaw hanging from the building facing the Red?
