Did I ever tell you my "But, it's Tuesday" story about half of Gore closed on a powder day?

"Hanson, having been stopped on his route by the multiple incidents, exited the vehicle and approached the officers on the scene, according to police, and “impairment was observed.”" Pete, didn't we just see you at the end of the bar at O'Reilly's? And where's that twenty bucks you owe me?

The NYT has a habit of publishing articles with an agenda to prove that climate change is the cause of most of our ills.

Just sayin'. Happens.

Maybe he was on drugs.

I'll call you and raise with the old Killington double to the peak on a similar day, and it stops over the top of Cascade

That happened to me at Gore one time, and I was inbounds. I was probably on drugs.

FIFY

No, well paid production. Related to this, my old employer in Saratoga Springs, Quad Graphics, just announced they're closing the plant. 3 million SI editions were printed every week in seven printing plants across the country. Gawd knows what the numbers are now. Print is dead.

Nope. Pretty indestructible from the front, as this incident proves. Sometimes I'd like to have that thing up front when the wonderful drivers get out on the highway.

I worked for SI for ten years. Trust me, it was a shadow of its former self. The marketing and bean counters started slowly killing it around 2000, and then the name, or "brand" was sold for cheap maybe ten years ago. All the good writers left a long time ago. It's been dead to me for years.

Love to know the age of the driver.

I am immediately suspicious of an SF reporter second guessing and hindsighting a Palisades Tahoe patrol decision, although, as always, a full investigation by a proper body is always welcome. It's an imperfect science, as I said, and the more knowledge discovered, the better.

Well, you pretty much have to.

Super 8 at Warrensberg sounds sucky. Look around for whatever is open at Lake George, or do what I do and stay in Saratoga Springs. Yeah, another half hour, but easy Northway half hour, and tons of bars and places to eat. Lodging, which is built out for race season, is well discounted. You may...

Like a variation on the tombstone joke: I Told You I Was Sick I Told You That December Ice Would Kill

See what I mean?

Yeah, but, without four or five people shoveling fast, furgetaboutit. Of course people were digging with their hands. It's all you have, unless you steal a snowboard.

Ha, well, the Belleayre mention is a joke, right. Wasn't that a man made slab, anyway? Like Rumor breaking loose every now and then. Wouldn't want to be below any of that, though. Glacier.

Hate to be Debbie downer, but I just read that wearing a beacon inbounds will just make it easier to find your body. Statistics are bad. Maybe if everybody was required to carry a shovel and beacon, that would work, but, nah gonna happen.
