"I have a nice view of Mt. Ogden from my front porch...can't see Snowbird from this side, but still looks mighty nice when it's got snow on it...."

I can imagine. Heck you must be around Ogden Utah, mountain country. To old to ski the way I would like, but I sure have thousands of fine memories of being on the top of mountains.
At Park city back in the 80's when they first open up those back bowls we had to literally climb along ridges to get to the best areas of the bowl. I was at Park City the first year the back was open. Skiing Jackson Holes back bowls was also an expeirence. My small group of five would often ski and for hours and not see another human. Obviously I sort of like high places with lots of snow.
Incidentally It was a bit out of line with my original statement. I jump the gun sometimes. I could have offended someone of a particular faith. And that is not what Jesus wants us to be doing, though it is a little tough not to go hard on the Islamofacist. Can't help myself.

As Dana Garvey's "Church Lady" character would say, "How convenient!"

"In addition to being fined, these irresponsible men should be caned, preferably until they become impotent."

Must start a caned-until-impotent ping list

Yep...my house is on the lower reaches of Ben Lomond. I have a great view.

And it is pretty country. But as far as my gulf coast sensibilities are concerned, this area gets too much snow...but then, that's what makes the skiing good.

"And it is pretty country."
Do live long, healthy with good eyes. And continue to absorb the beauty that is around you. Well this old goat is getting rather bleary eyed. Tis 1:11AM. So do enjoy your evening hours. Nighty nite.

Similar punishment should apply to those who abused Islam's polygamous provisions: "In addition to being fined, these irresponsible men should be caned, preferably until they become impotent."

That could hurt...but with any luck, perhaps Islam will begin this BEFORE the men have any children...it'd be a great service to the world (if not their wives).

"Polygamy is a valuable way of saving women from becoming "aged virgins", Malaysia's leading Islamist politician says."

Islam is a growing evil and serious threat to western values.

It almost sounds like this Islamic politician is concerned for these aged virgins. Nah, he just didn't want any unuswed women around. Talk about twisted logic.

"Hey, there's a virgin, we'll take care of that."

"""Just how cute I am. That remains to be seen."""


I always pictured you as an old bleary eyed goat. With emphasis on "GOAT".

Am I close?
