    That is why I like dogs, more than most people.

    Just a tiny fraction of what fell around there a couple years back, but scurry none the less.

    I hate driving that section of road. Remember the Suburban filled with hockey playing kids that got clobbered every time I roll through there.

    Fack. The very reason why I always stayed in the right lane on that road. Probably no safer but every big rock I ever saw there was in the left lane.

    I'd consider rebuilding around that rock and making it a feature of the house.

    But if we ban boulders, gravity will just start using mud, trees, or tumbleweeds...

    Of course they were in the left lane, that's how everything rolls in Colorado, always hogging the left lane.

    When I lived in CO I would always drive through Glenwood Canyon and Clear Creek with an eye on what's above me. Made me paranoid as hell. Glad I'm not the only one. There are some gigantic Rocks that come down there. The northwest version of this is the HUGE old growth trees with shallow roots,combined with heavy wet snow,that come down on the roads. One Killed 2 people on Stevens Pass last month. Shits real!
    So local it hurts...

    Rocks occasionally too. Two women were killed on I-90 just East of Snoqualmie Pass two or three years ago when a big rock fell on their car. Another big one fell in the same place not long after that so WSDOT did some pretty extensive slope stabilization work along there last year. They're doing the same thing on the West side of Stevens Pass this year.

    Or maybe a Fiat 500 convertible. Not sure where to put the skis, though.

    Damn thats scary. I knew a few people who met their ends by rockfall in that canyon. Sad way to go, but just as random and arbitrary as the universe.
