How The Other Half Fishes

Here's a picture of a tipup that belongs to one of my brother's friends. My brother says he's gotta get one. I think it's too much.
Inside the box is a small kerosene heater that keeps the hole in the ice from freezing over, a motorized jigging arm to keep the bait moving, and a transmitter that sends a signal to the receiver in his pocket when he has a bite. I guess when you have everything you need, then you start buying stuff like this.

We actually did give one of the transmitter-receiver sets to my brother-in-law Dean for his birthday recently, but only because without using way too much electronic gadgetry he'd probably never catch a fish!

What Would You Have Done?

This little old lady found $97,000 and returned it to its owner. I like to think I would have returned it too, but think of all the Mountain Dew you could buy with $97,000!
