Most of the bears are in the Castro, from what I hear.

Cheese smuggling is no laughing matter.

What could possibly go wrong with that itinerary?

I like the low-maintenance yard.

Sort of like the bear in the Toblerone mountain and the 31 in Baskin Robbins. Although I guess if you missed the 31 in BR you just aren't even trying. :)

Well aren't you awesome.

North Cascades Highway opens Friday.

You missed the deadline (Sunday the 14th was the last day for unlimited). Epic Pass also went from 10 buddy passes down to 2 now.

I skied Saturday through Monday and, holy shit, did the mountain and the village turn into a ghost town after the weekend. I couldn't believe how empty it was Monday. OTOH the snow was absolute...

What have you seen so far? My own trip is coming up in a couple months and still trying to figure out what to do with my limited time in London.

I figured FetyF was Rihanna's new clothing line.

Yeah, poor Ahmad.

The British show Taskmaster is on YouTube. It's pretty funny. The basic premise is five comedians are assigned zany tasks to complete usually within some time limit. Then the footage and results are...

NYT is ten, I think.

Looks like it's been a pretty good snow week. Anyone been up lately? Should be nice conditions for the last weekend of Blackcomb operations. Slush Cup Sunday at Glacier Creek.

Cute champ tonight.

Classic Madchester.

I mean, OJ was clearly guilty, but the trial did show a new generation of people how fucked up the police are--especially toward people of color. At the time I was thinking "how can so many black...

Cancer is no way to die. Getting your nuts bit off by a Laplander--now that's a way to die.

Benny had his moments. He certainly didn't come across as a particularly stable individual. :)

What actually did cause the end of Benny? I remember he had a total metldown, but don't remember the exact topic. I'm sure it was something idiotic.

To quote Gordon Lightfoot: "fellas, it's been good to know ya!"

I'll stick with my avocado appliances, thank you. :)

The whole kitchen appliance style flip-flopping is a bit bizarre. Sometimes equipping your kitchen with appliances that make it look like a restaurant seem to be the cool thing. Other times the...

I'm getting the same error when I try to reply .

Sydney Australia right on the centerline in July 2028. It will be winter there, of course.

Next one is in August 2026 in Iceland and Spain. Totality only along the far west portion of Iceland, though. That would be an incredible place to view it, but it's going to be packed and the odds of...

Turn around, bright eyes.

Ive got sort of a frenemy who was a packaging major. Whenever I encounter shitty blister packaging I explicitly blame her.

Now I want to fly my Lear jet up to Nova Scotia to see the total eclipse of the sun.

Ah, okay. That makes sense.

You lost me when you said Kim Kardashian has a hotter face.

In any event, definitely watch the series. She is gorgeous. No revealing clothes or anything like that, but it doesn't matter.

Wishing all you eclipse viewers clear (enough) skies today!

Is Sunday the 14th the last day for Stevens?

Wife and I watched the miniseries (eight parts) Fool Me Once, an adaptation of a Harlan Coben book. It wasn't great, but I thought the pacing was good. Plenty of twists and turns to keep you...

Agreed. I'm sure snowpack is considerably below normal right now, but not catastrophically bad. This may not be the death knell for summer glacier skiing, but I doubt there are too many years left...

Oh, wow. This is pretty grim news. They can couch it in "poor snowfall this season," but actually snowfall is now not far behind historical averages. The real culprit is recession of the glacier, of...

Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana.

I have a feeling the box fan is to blame.

Apparently male teachers never sleep with their students anymore. At least it seems like we never hear about those stories.

If kids these days heard the song "Don't Stand So Close to Me" they'd be...

Did you know the music for Chess was written by Benny and Björn from ABBA?

Wax on, whacks off.

Yeah, I don't see much super warm weather coming, but also not a ton of snow.

I noticed "A Gentleman in Moscow" by Amor Towles has now been made into a TV series starring Ewan McGregor, so might be a good time to read the book. I just read it a couple months ago and enjoyed it.

How are conditions looking inbounds these days? I'm assuming pretty spring-like with freeze-thaw cycles. Planning to come up the weekend of the 13th to get in the final dual mountain days this...

This sounds just like a Sufjan Stevens song only sung by Phoebe Bridgers

Love that tune and never heard it before this thread.

Cherry blossom time. Just a bit past their prime on the UW campus. Still real perty.

Crowds were definitely not a factor. I'd say 80% of the time I skied right onto the lift. Definitely never waited more than five minutes.
