It's like a way of life you practice, Burleigh.

And maybe they'll ask for a change.

Burleigh, thank you so much for bringing us this reporting on changing lake ice from your neck of the woods.

You're welcome.

To see pictures of Burleigh during the lake ice rescue training or at that really cool festival, check out our show notes.

Also, there's so much more reporting to come.

We will have another episode on changing lake ice coming out next week.

Also, follow us on the app you are listening to.

Please, whether that's the NPR app or another one, it really helps us out and means you won't miss out on cool new episodes.

This episode was produced by Hannah Chin.

It was edited by our showrunner, Rebecca Ramirez, and fact-checked by Tyler Jones.

Jimmy Keeley was the audio engineer.

I'm Emily Kwong.

Thank you for listening to Shortwave, the science podcast from NPR.

You're listening to Shortwave from NPR.

Some people get bummed out about their birthdays and say stuff like, oh, I'm getting so old.

But I actually have loved getting older.

The sense of perspective, of time passing.

And older people are just cool.

Ipsit Bahia agrees.
