I just watched the latest episode of 24, with Kiefer Sutherland as Jack Bauer. This show is 100% testosterone-fueled guy show! My wife couldn't care less, I leave the episode with my heart racing. Just watched the latest on Hulu.com, a great site for tons of network programming and much more. One almost doesn't need a DVR or DVD recorder any more.

Riders on the Storm.......
Whoa, there's a major winter storm brewing here tonight. I'm in Yosemite, on my annual February trip (also do one in April). I've had a group of cross-country skiers here for the past 3 days, after driving up to Oakhurst the first night. So, this is the end of day 4 right now, we head home tomorrow. At least, if Old Man Winter lets us! The NWS has posted a winter storm warning, and the satellite shot looks impressive. So does the radar. I was actually able to drop the chains for my afternoon run, the weather was deceptively nice in front of the storm. Every morning, I take skiers up to badger Pass, at 7000', on Glacier Point Road. Then return to the 4000' valley floor. Well, the snow level is supposed to drop to 3500'. Do I need to explain more? I debated chaining up anyway tonight, as I put the bus to bed, just so I wouldn't have to do it in the morning. But, weather forecasting is an imperfect science; if they're off just a little bit, it could be rain here in the valley floor. I'll have to put chains on sooner or later (sooner), but might as well wait till it was necessary. So, the weather will be diagnosed by yours truly in the morning. I have a sneaking suspicion the chains will be coming out! Might be a little tricky heading south tomorrow on CA Hwy 41, I'm crossing my fingers on that one.
In the meantime,my wonderful mate Jacqueline is in Colorado Springs, for a memorial service for her father, who passed away last Thursday. I would be with her except that I was committed to this trip and my father-in-law's demise came rather suddenly. My heart goes out to her, and our family impacted by Bob's death. She had planned originally to fly back to watch over her dad in his final days with her brother Mike, when her dad went downhill suddenly and passed before she arrived. So, the meaning of her visit has changed from the original, now it's a celebration of the life of her dad. The memorial service is tomorrow. I sure wish I was there............
