Frozen Lake Graffiti!?

Example
Example
Frozen Sunset Lake (in Vicksburg, Michigan) has been the scene of some tagging and "graffiti" lately.

I created the top work of art by walking around on the ice. Normally I shy away from walking on frozen lakes but it's been so cold (for such a long time) that I wasn't too worried about falling through. By the next morning ice fisherman had already drug their sleds over the image.... oh well... it was still really fun to create.

Not long after I created my work of art someone else got the idea to tag the lake. (bottom photo) Instead of using their feet they took a shovel and wrote in very large letters "Estefania Needs Husband"... that made me laugh... I think they should get the prize for originality.

This is an amazing story! I heard about it on my local news last night and started seeing the story circulating on the internet today. Since it happened in nearby Paw Paw, MI I thought I'd post it here.

The gist of the story is, this guy's wheelchair accidentally gets lodged in the grill of a semi-truck. The driver is unaware and commences to drive down the highway for nearly 5 miles going upwards of 50mph. I won't divulge much more so you can watch the video and read the article for yourselves. (It has a very happy ending)

Coincidentally, as I was typing this post, my sister called and mentioned she was one of the people who checked on his condition at the hospital. I thought that was pretty cool.
