The forecast is good and though heading out to work there is an expectation like holidays. People look on from the pier. Ten days holed up in the town, no money, worry of changing fortunes, only drink... no money. Get the food on board, the ice, the diesel. The little punts tinker around the rocks for late summer lobsters. Maybe they feel a little jealous as they wave at the trawlers passing. Their time has come and gone and our wake passes under them. When the sea opens up the boat seems small where not so[..]

He finds a glacier, waits for the sun to go down, and then scoops ice worms into a cooler which he closes with duct tape and zaps off to Camden.

We have very cold winters and the ice freezes deep into lakes and rivers.) Now, residents of Maine didn't think too much about ice other than for their own use. Ice was just a part of life, no big deal. During the economic depression that[..]

The Ice Man Cometh Of course no one had electric refrigerators in the 1940's, at least not in our neighborhood. So we were solely dependent on the "Ralph Kramden" ice box. This gadget was unique and useful. A two compartment unit made out of wood. And, it was lined with steel painted white. The top compartment was usually smaller and that held the food that needed refrigeration. The bottom section was larger and held the block of ice. The top didn't have any shelves as I remember so food was kind of stuffed in as best you could. The bottom could if needed be used to keep things cold as well as keep the ice. No Freezer Section.
