I've decided to do my fellow skiers a favor. Ullr apparently has it in
for me personally and won't let it snow as long as I'm skiing, so I'm
going to hop over to London for a week or two. I'm sure as soon as I'm
away Ullr will start dumping and make the rest of the locals happy.

And once Ullr starts he can't stop for months, so upon return I'll be
happy as well.

Gotta go find the passport now...

Now that's just bull****. I snowed the day before you and I skied,
so your observation just can't be right.

What's the base now? Any better than 3 feet?

Ullr has been blessing our neck of the woods with very cold
temps and a couple inches of the real stuff most every night.
Skiing has been quite good.

And once Ullr starts he can't stop for months, so upon return I'll be
happy as well.

London, eh, hope someone else is paying. It's an expensive
place especially for those from a second world economy (I
won't put us into the third world yet, at least not until
Dubya bankrupts us).

Speaking of time off, does anyone know how to export .pdf's --- into--
powerpoint slides (as opposed to the much more often asked pp---
.pdf) ??

I do it all the time with Acrobat Professional. You can use either the text
selection tool or the snapshot tool which can grab just a section of a page
or a whole page and it puts it in the Clipboard. Then just paste into a
slide in PP. You can also save it as a Word document.

Good luck

I just got back at New Years. Had a great time. Train from Gatwick to
Bath was easy to catch and relaxing after the flight. The baths there
were wonderful. There are some good food places there too. We didn't
spend alot of time IN London (been there, done that) but did spend
some on the outskirts. Exchange rate was pretty much 2-1 but what the
heck. You can't take it with you!

No, Its my fault. I bought a snowblower thinking this would be another big
season for us--even here in Bishop. So--of course--Uller is punishing me
for being so presumptuous.
