If your guess to our close-up clue<\/a> was the Zamboni clearing the ice on the Boston Common Frog Pond, you were right!<\/p>\n

Today would have be Frank Zamboni's<\/a> 112th Birthday and Google is celebrating with a Google Doodle that will let you drive their Zamboni.<\/a>  <\/p>\n

Here's a bit more about the history of the Zamboni<\/a> (which this one happens to be) and ice surfacers<\/a> (the term used when this equipment is made by other manufacturers). <\/p>\n

We bet the Frog Pond skaters are happy they don't have to wait for a crew of people to go out and scrape, wash, and squeegee the ice by hand. Click over to Google and test your Zamboni skills.<\/a><\/p>\n

(Here's a link to past Google Doodle's if you find this post after today.<\/a>)<\/p>\n
