in arizona, the snow is made out of poop

as you can well imagine some people are happy about it, but other people are not happy about it. nytimes

basically if you think those mountains are holy because that is where g-d lives, or if you care about the potential ecological effects of covering an entire mountain in effluence, then you do NOT want any ski resorts over there. if you think, whatever, a mouthful of poop snow never hurt anyone, and think of all the money we could make, then you DO want a ski resort.

I say, better safe than sorry, lets not go spreading our shit around like a nasty kid in an elementary school restroom. also, where are you papers?

olympic insanity

did you hear about the final jump of the womens' alpine skiing course being completely insane?! so much so that they are now lowering the jump because its too dangerous!

3 women went down hard while running the course "for the first time at race speed" due to weather conditions. watch some videos here. they're pretty awesome. they just go flying into the air and you can actually see their surprise in their body motion when they don't come down as soon as they'd like.

i'm going to watch so much olympics tonight. i hope it's good stuff. i'll check it out and let you know.
