Night Walking

We're cursing La Nina and Ken Duncan over here in the Beehive State. La Nina's keeping our skis in the garage as there's a dirty ridge of high pressure stationed over the Salt Lake City area. That comes from our resident meteorologist, Margarine, who's getting into fisticuffs with Grizzly over the location of this jetstream. They're settling this little disagreement like they've always done in the Old West, by pulling out dueling iPads.

Wherever the jetstream is the result is the same, cross-country skiing in slush and snowshoeing after dark. It's a couple hours of activity a day, which just might be enough in this high altitude, with the rest of the time filled with books by the fire and eating, especially eating.

Our other nemesis, Ken Duncan, comes courtesy of Margarine, who gave Grizzly an 1,000 piece puzzle of Yosemite Valley for his birthday. We're about 100 pieces in. At the current rate, we just might finish by 2012.
