- Just got back a little while ago from a great day in a snowstorm
- at Mt Hood Meadows in Oregon. 100 inches of the white stuff, 28
- degrees, and 60 mph winds at the top.
-
- At one point there is me heading one way, a boarder heading another
- and we are both going to get to the same spot at about the same time.
- Well, I am looking at him, waiting to get a read of where he is going
- to go. He is busy looking at his board, at the really "cool dude" way
- that the snow flies over his boot and who know what else. Now this
- picture could have happened between me and another skier, jogger,
- motorcyclist, or jet pilot. The difference is...
- When this guy finally looks up and sees what is going on, he decides
- that it is his infinite best interest to swear at me.

- And before you ask if I could have gotten out of the way first and
- made sure that this thing never happened, I DID. He matched every
- turn I did. I don't think he did it on purpose, just happened. What
- really pissed me off was his attitude and his language. What a jerk.
