Re: Fake cougar attack

People are funny. What was that guy thinking. We have them going around and through the neighborhood all the time but they are ghosts. A dog got taken off the back porch 10 years ago.

Re: Skiing really long skis?

As I recall it, back in the day of wood skis, low leather boots and cables, an expert skier was a guy who could do turns down hill all day without falling. The foot-boot-ski connection was loosey goosey. Bindings were there so your foot couldn't slip off the ski. Longer skis added some stability. ht...
