Old skier dude

I went skiing for the first time in 20 years the other day on Mammoth Mountain in Sierra Nevada. It was absolutely gorgeous, and I'm not exaggerating when I say there were maybe 50 people on the slopes. I skied in a sweat shirt at 11,000 feet.

The only bummer is that 20 years ago I wasn't old, out of shape, and afraid of speed.

What was really cool is that skiing on 175cm is now ok, and both tips are curled up so you can ski backwards. Back then they had to be 200cm or longer or people laughed at you.

I remember wanting to snowboard back then, and being banned from the lift. Now it's all snowboarders. Times have sure changed.

Finally, some business

There's this pink light house downstairs from my office, and I pass by everyday to see how's business. I feel sorry for her, sitting there all day, watching TV, picking at her feet, and waiting for some action. First, she's not attractive, second, she has a bad commercial location, and third, she has poor signage.

Yesterday I walked by and was shocked to see a police car sitting in front, four guys crammed into it, and felt even more sorry for her, since she was probably busted.

I took a quick peek and saw an older cop getting a foot massage, chatting away, and probably thinking about a little happy ending action.

Meanwhile, the four younger cops waited in the car.

Finally, some business.
