A-basin's still open, as are Mammoth and Alpine in California. Jump a
plane and ski in the sun...unless it's snowing when you get there.


We just had a brutal front come through. I waited for a break from what
I thought was the main front and went to walk dogs. At least I took my
rain gear. About 1/2 hour into the walk, it got ugly. Serious wind,
something in between hail and graupel, in a complete downpour, and my
personal favorite, big and close lightning. Like flash-pop, with damn
near no delay. I hear there are major power outages in the valley and
four semis blew over at Point of the Mountain, in the south valley.
According to the news, the temperature dropped 25 degrees in 20
minutes.. Wow. And Big Cottonwood Creek is *RAGING* and they are
predicting up to an inch of rain in the next few hours down low.. a
foot of snow up here. Hang on.. this could get interesting. As usual, I
have a meeting in the valley in the morning. heh.. timing and all that.

The news just came on and they said it was 8 semis and two Fed X trucks
blown over. Both lanes of I15 were closed for a while, now just
southbound is closed. Most of the semis were pulled off the road just
sitting there waiting it out.. They're saying 78 mph in the valley!
damn.. gotta respect spring.

There's something pathological about I-15. When semis get blown over around
here, that's what they get blown off of. It also ices up in the Cajon Pass,
which is amazing because that's DESERT.

Indeed, so easy that I do it every time I post.


You prove me wrong every time you post. And you are so nice, so kind, so
utterly above any moral or ethical misbehavior that you are completely
unaware of how decent people are impressed by you.


Thanks Scott, glad we agree.

Amazing.
This sick freak refuses to meet on neutral ground. At least ten meets set
up over the last four years. And never does Bob Thompson show up.
Pathetic blowhard and proven liar, but not funny at all: repulsive and vile.

Yeah. All that bull**** about real names and pictures of what you look
like........All of which he has of me.

"Pathetic blowhard" is the understatement of the year.

And how does this "free skiing" thing work when "ol' trunky" here is
_buying_ tickets on ebay? Pathetic blowhard and proven liar.....too
funny.


Its true Scott they are all vile freaks
