Once again I find myself in Milwaukee during winter. The occasion is similar to a year back, in that I am supervising the repair of an electric motor. The work is going not as quickly as I would like, but it does afford me an opportunity to visit with family and friends. The pictures show some kids sledding down a hill near the lakefront, and the view looking southeast from an overlook in Shorewood.

Ugh. What's all that white stuff on the ground? It looks very cold and bothersome.
It was quite cold, but the kids were having a great day. It brought back smiling memories of similar days of my childhood here. The view of the lakefront captures the introspective bleakness of winter much better.
I remember sledding down hillsides abutting Lake Michigan.
Once, two small children (not my brother or me) sled right into the lake! My dad immediately rescued them, and their mother was very relieved. Helps to be in the right place at the right time.
Clearly, light weight, fast sled, and a steep hill are not the best combination when a large unfrozen lake is involved. Perhaps that's why my parents insisted on sledding with us on the big toboggan! I recall getting *near* the edge of the lake, but never close enough to actually go in.
