I'm officially starting winter tonight

Imagine.
The world is warming,
global warming is ruining our winters,
its to warm,
its doesn't rain enough,
where's the snow.

The way I figure it, when I look back on my 58 years and remember the variability of each winter, its always been unpredictable.To say this causes that or to think that when I was young it was colder or snowier, its never the same from one year to the next. I hear people tell me that we have to save the planet, face it, the planet doesn't care about humans. It has been here for a billion plus years and will be for the next billion. The trees will grow back, the oceans will teem with life, all signs of humanity will vanish and the planet will just keep on doing what it does. What we really need is a really cold subzero winter with 30 plus days. Freeze all the stinking bugs, rejuvenate the earth.

So with that phrophetic vision, we are still here on this planet, and winter is just kicking in, don't let your guard down, its going to snow, the resorts will open, the back country will still be a dangerous place and some of you won't make it til spring.

When you are freezing cold and stuck on the side of a mountain because you thought winter was over, remember, Mother Nature is in charge.

Believe it "Winter is coming and its going to hit fast"

Here we are into November of 2016, its been one hell of a year for me, I've been on the roller coast of my life and some of it has been terrific and fun and other parts of it have been pure hell.
Looking the love of your life is tough, meeting a new love of your life and loosing them to is enough to "drain the swamp".
All the old love songs are pretty much the same, man meets woman, life is great until it isn't the the agony of a breakup haunts you every minute.

What does any of this have to do with Snurfari, well it is a part of my journey which will culminate in some great turns ahead. I'm ready to hike, I'm ready to ride lifts, I have an Epic Pass, a mammoth pass and a sierra at tahoe pass and if I have to I can buy a ticket anywhere I go.

Until my next post.

I'm proud to be a republican and that my vote for Donald Trump mean't something, he will be a great President and if you disagree, get over it. All the rhetoric on the campaign trail was in the moment, now its time to get down to business and "Make America Great Again". JG
