When I was a young kid, our family lived in Cincinnati, OH for a few years. Across the street and about 100 yards in, was a small lake. The people who owned the lake were generous and mindful. When the ice formed, they'd shoot a .22 into it and if the ice held to their satisfaction, we were allowed to ice-skate and sled across it. As long as we lived there, there was never an accident or incident. Spent many happy hours on the ice on that lake!
