them so I can get out, but that'll be tomorrow. It's too dangerous to

What general part of the planet are you in?


I'm outside of a smallish town in Northern Cal... kind of near the Nevada
state line.

Brilliant area if you're into skiing.


I don't usually downhill. I like getting out in nature, not getting onto
crowded slopes. Of course, the lodge for a hot drink is nice from time to
time.
