Boy: Thanks for flooding the old tennis court, Frazz! It was great having a skating rink over break. Can you do that to all the streets in town? By Monday? Frazz: Sorry. I think we're going to have to go back to school.

wish they would do that to the local high school in my area, but no…the tennis players need to “practice.” not, if there is snow on the ground, the nets are removed, and it is miserably bone-chilling cold. the feasibility of them even playing is extremely low and it is extremely difficult to backhand return a serve if you are wearing a parka, gloves, and other winter gear.

I don’t recommend it, but in Saginaw, we used to sneak up on cars, grab their bumpers and ride for as long as we could, or to the first busy street……the roads were snow covered back in those days….

Not limited to Michigan. Grew up in Illinois and “skitching” was a popular, if dangerous, winter sport there, too.

Around here (w. MT), grabbing a bumper on an icy street was and is called “hookey-bobbing.” Just as dangerous as by any other name…

One year (loooong time ago) my highschool flooded the quarter mile track. That was some serious good skating that year!
