Speaking of rodents, I discovered a new seasonal sport today called Bowling for Muskrats. When the cold temperatures up here starts to freeze the lakes, there are open patches of water where muskrats like to hang out. They will sit on the edge of the ice and flop in and out of the water. The sport consists of rolling a rock across the ice and scaring them all into the water. Getting them all to jump in the water is a strike. I know you animal lovers are thinking it cruel and inhumane, but have you ever had one lunge…
