This lumber company uses water sprayers to keep the logs wet while they are out in the yard, waiting to be cut. When the weather gets below freezing, this makes for a rather interesting sight.

Foggy day on the Mississippi
… the river don’t talk, the river don’t care
Where you’ve been, what you’ve done
Don’t know why it is your standin’ there
It just rolls on by whisperin’ to your soul
It’s gonna be alright, the river just knows
~Rodney Atkins
