That photo sets the scene. Blankets of snow in all directions. Puddles and saturated soil at the Willow Springs arch.
The sunset was unreal. But even the light wind cut right through us. What would it be like at 3am?
All indications pointed to ‘bail’. I was swimming […]

The south side LGS route is a frozen mess of ice. I missed out on LHC last week so can’t speak to conditions. It looks like it’ll probably be cold enough by 6 or 630 that Boulder Valley Ranch could be good, too.

Obama is not a Wimp
Rating 3.00 out of 5
[?]Submitted by unsettling economics
Barack Obama gave the appearance of meekly appealing for bipartisanship, only to get kicked in his private parts. Yet, look how courageously he is willing to take on the liberals and his party. Along with Larry Summers and Rahm Emanuel, he can really kick butt. Locale he has […]

BANKING REFORM VS. BANKING REFORM
Rating 3.00 out of 5
[?]Submitted by The Capital Spectator
David Champion of the Harvard Business Review is unimpressed with the Obama administration’s proposal on banking reform. In fact, he’s downright dismissive:
“The Obama reform… seems to be neither radical nor particularly useful, except perhaps as political theater,” Champion writes.
Of course, that’s far from the consensus view, at […]
