so Flickr does video now, too

This ski area is the one I frequent the most. Just a bit of video to show you part of a mid-level difficulty run there. They stay open until late April!

Snow, at the end of April!

Apparently, I have to redact my earlier post about it being spring in the northwest. My town got a couple inches of snow and hail today... it's been going for about 12 hours now. It's actually sticking around on the ground, and I've seen some cars (driving around!) with about 3-4" on top.

Impeachment was conceived for such a time as this

i'm struggling to know how to write this post. Let me instead quote Ron Russell's comment regarding this story about President Bush's confession that he was aware of his advisors' drafting of torture guidelines, because it comes closest to my sentiment:

"...I always wondered how the average German could have allowed Nazi war crimes to happen. Sadly and shamefully, I now know. The sickening part is that I can’t do a damn thing about it. I’ve posted, I’ve voted, I’ve donated, I’ve marched in protest, I’ve called my lawmakers and it still happens and will continue to do so. Someday, someone will ask us how we could have allowed it and I will still be hanging my head in shame. Being powerless, does not absolve any of us of these crimes."

If Clinton's perjury in a civil case was grounds for impeachment, certainly drafting unconstitutional (that's not even to mention immoral and unethical!) quidelines for the Federal government to torture is all the more so. But even the media conveniently sleeps now.

Surfer rescue

I was down in Oregon yesterday, visiting some filming locations from the most excellent movie "The Goonies". A particular State Park was used, so we dropped by and hiked a bit. When we got back to my car, I had been severely blocked in by rescue vehicles...

Drum video

It's been a few days since someone posted, so check this out.

A few things...

1. Who's gonna sign up for project virgle? Let's go to Mars!!! :-)
2. Gmail's figured out the space-time continuum. Anyone up for a meeting 6 hrs ago? I think Google's lost it.
3. Happy April Fools Day.
4. Where the heck is Magic? Mr. one-post? Are you there?
5. I've got a post showcasing Greg Pattillo on my blog. If you haven't seen him (or even if you have), check it out. I imagine it would appeal to everyone who reads this blog.

Cheers,
