Big Mike is trying to slow down Justin's TR here with a side thread, great strategy Mike.

Why don't you guys make it easy on us and just go to the pub every night so we can stop by whenever? Like an open house.

I was thinking about trying to make it, but if that evil monster Bruce Kay is going to be there, count me out! If he's there, then every ST member who shows up will probably be banned simply for being in the same bar as BK.

So, BJ, Steve and Mimi, Wayno, Dave Harris, Konrad Kraft (the lurker), Nature and all the other Washington State inmates, it would be good to have you cross the border and on to Squamish !

Not going to happen at 6 pm on a Friday in the winter.

So go ahead and enjoy this one yourselves, and plan something for the foreigners on a summer Saturday. Oh. Wait. That already does exist. Most of us come up for the Psyche Ledge thing.

But there could be something earlier in the summer.

Raining hard all day in Nelson. Raining at Whitewater too. Worst conditions in years [living memory?]. All the visiting Aussies [lots] think it is fantastic. At least some people are happy.

Unfortunately this is true. I'm not trying to discourage visitors, although there are dozens of way better resorts you should visit first. :) :)

EDIT Hope everyone had a good get-together.

The really bad news is not what the weather is doing to the skiing in S. BC, we can surf this out, but rather the poor regional barley harvest this past season because of the weather!

you all are on spin cycle,
how come you're not f*#king clean?

the boundary always ignites first
and then spreads to the greater field,

you probably changed the world
that night.
though it changed you, too.
so it was pretty much a wash...

how come you're not f*#king clean?
