    On one level, I definitely want the Mets to win a pennant. On another, I dread another subway series.

    Aftermath of Hurricane Helene in the NC mountains, late fall 2024

    Hmmmm, I thought I'd shared as a gift article. It was about the unhinged guy threatening FEMA workers in North Carolina.

    ORDA Funding

    Up here, many businesses tweak their hours depending on the season or upcomingevents. Something like that would be useful if another big event comes to North Creek.

    ORDA Funding

    FWIW, the Tri-Lakes are good at attracting people and events. For sure several wouldn't be possible without ORDA facilities. But there's also the Ironman, a horse show, rugby tournament, lacrosse tournament, a road half marathon, and an art festival. Those are the ones I can think of.

    Winter Weather Outlook 24/25

    Almost anything has got to better than last winter. At least I had machine made snow. Snowmobile riders in the Tri-Lakes weren't so lucky.

    ORDA Funding

    In 2013 or thereabouts, ORDA was audited by the state. I was gonna write an article for another web site. I did a lot of research, I even went into NYC to meet with someone from the comptroller's office. Results of the audit weren't dramatic. If I recall correctly, the biggest thing was...

    Fall Weather 2024

    Agreed. But the age that they're at.... damn, it looks daunting. It wasn't easy moving to Saranac Lake, and I didn't even have a lot of stuff to bring.

    Fall Weather 2024

    My folks got power back a couple days ago. Neighbors across the street had several live oaks come down. Gonna be expensive to clean up. My stepfather wasn't blowing smoke when he was talking about leaving FL. He'd made an offer on a house in New Mexico, where he has family. The day before...

    ORDA Funding

    If ya wanna know where money is going at ORDA, here's a partial response. Proposed amendments to Mt van Ho's Unit Master Plan. Mainly covering the sliding facility but also building a more permanent MTB track. Kinda dry reading but useful...

    Aftermath of Hurricane Helene in the NC mountains, late fall 2024

    Two big rainstorms messed up parts of Vermont in July. Hurricane Irene wasn't kind either.

    Fall Weather 2024

    My mom and stepdad rode it out in their house. About 6 or so miles north of Tampa airport. They're fine, house is fine. No power or internet. Fortunately they're 50 feet above sea level. Water in the Gulf of Mexico is warmer than it used to be, which is making hurricanes more violent. If I...

    Too Early to Tune?

    Agree with SPP. Last year I procrastinated until November. Mistake. Pre season ski prep is drudgery, but it must be done.
