Jhb8426 said,“BTW, I worked a lotta years to get to be a Moderator here”. And… You are a very good Moderator, indeed. You can take a joke. You like Janis Joplin. You are on Team Weenieyo. You recognize how the Hokey Pokey has played such an important part in the evolution of Earth as we know it. And you have good work ethics. And you have a part time thankless job as a Mod. But I thank you for being a Mod. And I know you may not thank me for thanking you. Even though you may be thankful about being a Mod. You might think thanking someone who may be thankful but not willing to acknowledge a thanks about being thanked, but honestly, just for the record, thanks for putting up with thankful people like me, who are compelled to thank you for donating your extra time doing a thankless job. Yes I know Trivial stuff… ---

> [@WildCat23](#): > > Do you play hockey on them in the winter? I haven’t played hockey on a lake. I’ve gone for many a skate along the Ottawa Canal, though. It’s the world’s longest outdoor groomed skating surface. There are outdoor ice rinks in every neighborhood. Some are better maintained than others. :wink: Played a decent amount of pickup hockey on those. Mind you, the same culture exists in the bordering states. Except maybe Washington. ---

The last time the Thames froze enough to walk (or skate) on was in 1963. Not really sure if it’s worth me investing in any skates… ---
