...to all of you deranged (in a good way) members of this blog community. Here in Colorado we're going to celebrate by wearing traditional festive stupid headgear and trying to stay up until midnight, or at least 10 p.m., which is midnight in Miami. I hope all of you have at least as much fun. That should not be difficult.
Anyway, here's to you guys.
...but we're thinking maybe this guy is single.

So I'm skiing down the mountain (as opposed to up the mountain, a common beginner mistake) and I hear this loud voice talking behind me, and a second later I get clipped by this guy who is not really paying attention to where he's going because he's talking on his cell phone, while skiing. So I go, quote, "Hey!" and he looks back and kind of waves his phone to indicate (I think), "Sorry, but as you can see I am on the phone."
I think there should be a Rudeness Patrol out there, consisting of officers equipped with tranquilizer darts.
Maybe they should bring that concept back.

The weather remains extremely cold, with continued coldening forecast, followed by death. But we're still going out onto the ski slopes because all of our brain cells are dead it's refreshing outdoor fun. Many people, however, prefer to engage in indoor activities, as indicated by this thorough report from the Aspen Times (thanks to Claire Martin).

electrical transformer blew out, an explosion caused by a squirrel,
which was electrocuted. The trooper thought it was a gunshot and called
in the Santa Rosa County Sheriff's SWAT team, Haines said.

Today we have what they call "excellent skiing conditions," by which they mean it is 350 degrees below zero. People are huddling inside their refrigerators for warmth. So we are of course going skiing. The good news is that we are wearing so much protective clothing that if we hit a tree we will simply bounce off.
See you later, I hope.
Now they're using fondue.

The mood in Colorado this evening is tired and cold and achy from spending the day trying to get down steep slippery hills with big chunks of gravity all around. But soon Colorado's mood will improve drastically.

Blogging from me will be sporadic for a while, because I'm in Colorado skiing covering the crucial Colorado primary. My professional journalism assessment, based on several hours of being here, is that the voters are cold. Also they tend to fall down. I will try to keep you posted, but there is ice on my keyboard.
We link; you decide.
