Incredible how far it's travelling to reach us: map. Weren't the fires during the 2023 Smokecopalypse closer, i.e. northern Ontario?

Can you post a pic of it? Curious to see what you're using.

For the record, I meant that the food arrangement was handsome, not the radioactive Fiestaware plate!

Bluebird at Plattekill, gloom here in NJ.

All ski lodges should look like this:

To take advantage of a Delta award flight, I schlepped 75 pounds of luggage (a ski bag, a boot bag, and a backpack) on a NJ Transit train, transferred at Penn Station to the E-train, then to the Air Train to JFK. Did it in 80 minutes. Quit yer bitchin!
