Another snow day

Another fun day playing in the snow with the Trask family, in town for a visit from Los Angeles. Today we went up Big Cottonwood Canyon again for sledding, snow fort building, and of course snowball fights. Of course, the only photos I took were of the scenery.

SNOW

Low clouds hang on the mountain. The forest is filled with fog. A short distance away the Giant trees recede and grow Dim. Two hundred paces and They are invisible. All Day the fog curdles and drifts. The cries of the birds are loud. They sound frightened and cold. Hour By hour it grows [...]

Caught a bit of a cold, but the weather is absolutely gorgeous out today … I couldn’t allow myself to waste the day on the couch; so out for an easy 15 miles through Holladay, Murray, and Millcreek. Legs were a little heavy, lungs [...]

Lunatics in the Legislature

You know that post from earlier today about the IOC’s idiotic decision to elect Pat McQuaid? Never mind that, this is much worse.

Pull out of climate coalition, panel urges Herbert

Gov. Gary Herbert would be asked to pull Utah out of the Western Climate Initiative under a resolution passed Friday by a House panel

IOC degradation

In yet another step down the road to mediocrity, the International Olympic Committee elects UCI President Pat McQuaid as a member. This is a man who, instead of working to protect the status of one of the premier cycling disciplines (the individual pursuit) as an Olympic event, instead opts to eliminate it in favor of [...]

I AM NOT YOURS

I am not yours, not lost in you, Not lost, although I long to be Lost as a candle lit at noon, Lost as a snowflake in the sea.

You love me, and I find you still A spirit beautiful and bright, Yet I am I, who long to be Lost [...]
