• Time off in France for a couple of days

  Fri, 16 May 2008 15:42:59 +0200
  
  I do speak French and would eagerly visit France and stay shortly at the  holiday compound in Marcel.
  Me, who rarely vacations outside the country since taking new post at work,  will take time off in France, as long as I can go mountain biking.  Of course there're spectacular spots around there and great places to relax.

  I am an avid enthusiast of the sport.

  23 inches of rain had fallen this early afternoon in valley. With about 14 inches in the mountains
  Fast-moving thunderstorms brought new waves of rain, following days of drenching weather, heavy mountain snowfall and raising fears of mudslides and flooding. The worst of the storm is not over,  but Monday promised to bring a spell of clear weather, forecasters said. Things will start to die down as the night goes on, said weather service forecast.

  Wind gusts of 60 to 70 mph are reported in some areas.

• it's probably time to tune up the ski after all the running

  Fri, 29 Feb 2008 16:57:50 +0100
  The final seasonal gettogether  took place at 10:30 p.m. in  the base village.
  With all the fine snow on hand, it was easy to rough up the edges when you run on hard packed stuff. So all got quick rundown on waxing and tuning. The same technique is used for both skis and boards.

• Spring snowfall can set a record

  Fri, 22 Feb 2008 14:56:36 +0100

  In February hikers venturing above treeline find
  that the peaks are more wintry than they usually are. 
  They should be prepared. Climbers get the cold shoulder.
  The snow is still waist-deep in places,  and the trail is buried.
  Some climbers listen —  but some climbers don’t. 
  Tuesday,  we left camp early,
  expecting to cover the remaining miles to the top before noon.

• Which came first–the chicken or the European?

  Fri, 01 Feb 2008 16:51:53 +0100

  I carried my life, like a stone,  
  in a ragged pocket, but I 
  had a true weaving song, a sly 
  way with rhythm, a healing tone.

  I am going to Spain for some buziness: popular history, and a familiar rhyme about Christopher Columbus, holds that Europeans made contact with the Americas in 1492, with some arguing that the explorer and his crew were the first outsiders to reach the New World, but chicken bones suggest Polynesians found Americas before Columbus.

• Santa brought the worst snow conditions in several years

  Fri, 11 Jan 2008 16:13:44 +0100
  It is spectacular. In November-December the most resorts delayed their openings - "lack of snow". Most offered up only limited terrain for sledge. For the first time in recent history, the industry is not operating across the country. The skiers take note of that. If one region suffers, the skiers tend to generalize that there is no snow. This is disappionting and makes us workaholics again.

• Scientists say asteroid could hit Mars

  Fri, 21 Dec 2007 16:12:36 +0100
  
  The Tunguska object  (up to 20-megaton nuclear bomb) that hit Siberia in 1908 unleashed energy equivalent   that wiped out millions of  trees. Now Mars could be in by an asteroid hit. Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow ... All must have great holidays!
