I’m house sitting for my parents this week and picked through their garden for them yesterday.... not a bad haul on jalepenos. This was halfway through, in total I think I picked around 120 jalepenos.

Not moving. Fleeing.

Holy cow, where to ski this season?? American resorts went bonkers with their reservation system. Suuure, buy a pass before 07/14, and if you can't use it, we'll allow to carry it over to 2021. Flights and hotels are all your problem. Yeah, you window paying suckers, not only will we ask for $200 to stand in ever long lines while chairs are leaving half empty, but we'll roll a dice before admitting you, because there is a herd of pass-holders who can't wait to justify their passes in 3-4 visits, and they all have a priority. Do these Vail/Alterra monsters have a feedback form somewhere? I'll suggest to raise window prices to $400, so that most folks will sleep soundly thinking that their pass will pay for itself in less than two visits, almost in one. Plus, should they decide to close again, it's psychologically easier go over "less than two" missed visits than a whole blown season. Brilliant. Totally lost touch with reality. I like someone's idea here about going to Brighton and also stopping by three other resorts nearby. But will he be able to, with his single odd tickets, on the days he wants/planned/reserved? European resorts appear to be all out of reach to US citizens. If before I was just envying those EU passport holders who after a short brake on the runway continued their flight through the automated passport control while I had to stand in a long line, right now I'm borderline hating them for not having to procure any reason to cross into Italy, Austria, France or whatever. Even local skiing is screwed. CB asking to pay for parking?? Go to hell. PSAA school ski passes suspended for this season. Pocono Cards likely following the suit thereby making it more $$ visiting places of other color or just taking someone along to Blue. I bet even Blue's triple cards will not be available. Yeah, go ahead, look into your crystal ball and reserve your visit month in advance. No? Well, window price then! That is if we have any windows open, because, you know, COVID... And btw, good luck with thinking that New Yorkers or New Jerseyans will sit the season out and there will not be mile-long lines at Blue because of fears of COVID. Nobody fears COVID in real life except for government and businesses that were forced to fear it. People take their masks off the moment they're not forced to wear them, and radio stations are actually calling to everybody to revolt. So the first snowflakes fall, they'll all just say: "Screw you, Murphy, I'm going skiing!" But where to ski and how??

I've said it from day 1. Most data that gets reported in terms of Covid is trash data and you cannot make a meaningful conclusion from it. I'm going to ski this year, i'm going to snowboard this year. I'm going to have fun doing it. I'm still hanging around in the lot afterwards and I'll likely get on an airplane at some point this winter to go play skiing. Maybe I won't shove my hand in the communal cheese ball bucket and maybe there will be more solo cups involved when sharing tasty beverage sips.

I really feel for college kids..especially first year students..

I know lots of people on no medication that shouldnt have guns.

Brighton seeing some white stuff. I haven't been following the stoke markets, but it appears that they should be rising.

Just gonna point out that that is the exact goal of the 'fake news', 'Lame Stream Media' gas lighting. Just say over and over again that all news sources (except of course the one you are watching or listening to) are wrong, corrupt, lying, working for the democrats.....until people just start accepting it, and then suddenly there is an easy excuse as to why a journalist is pointing out your failings....they are lying! You can't believe them! And suddenly, you have no 'credible' source holding you accountable. In the case of right wing media, who have been perpetrating this gaslighting for decades, they just want people not to trust anyone but this to drive ratings. And it really works.

Nah...there are a lot of things big cities offer that other areas don't. I couldn't ever live in one, but I do understand why people do.

I asked a LEO family member and he said if you have a LCTF (you’re welcome @AtomicSkier) and your spouse has a medical card, it’s not an issue. An individual cannot posses both however.

You sound like you popped a boner over that.

Not sure if they are allowing eat-in or what right now, but Teresa's Next Door on North Wayne Ave. is my favorite beer bar of all time. My wife and I celebrate every birthday there sitting at the bar. No TV's just talk with people like in the old days and put that fucking phone away! The bartenders are ridiculous with their knowledge of beer, whiskey and biodynamic wines. You gotta try it if you haven't been there before. I have a feeling you will like it too.

@saltyant your favorite place besides McDoodle.

maybe this one. drop table like '%'

Your broke, the kid ain’t yours, and everybody knows. Your own mans say you stupid, you be like so, I love my baby mother, I’ll never let her go.

You’re also wack, twisted and your girls a Hoe

You're ugly, stupid and can't ski very well. Better?

go to kcr fool.

I'm fleeing the crumbling and corrupt city of Philadelphia for the safety and security of Wayne. It should be noted that this has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that my lease ended and the suburbs are much closer to work and school. I made the decision based exclusively on the fact that the Mayor was caught eating indoors when he banned indoor eating in the city.

Great to have the ever optimistic Eaf back.

A few heavy wet inches of snow. Lots of trees down around town. We had some tree damage. Keeping an eye on a large branch that if it goes down it may cause some roof damage. Fingers crossed Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

At Blue, was it ever fair game? That parking lot is basically a urinal.

eating dropped snacks off of the ground is still fair game though

Then there is this article from a week ago that says Sturgis was no problem. https://trendingpolitics.com/nope-turns-out-the-sturgis-biker-rally-was-no-covid-super-spreader-after-all/?fbclid=IwAR0ZsigPdAWQ3SWW0ECi3cF-Dn7D0okayTbpnN2T4-gFKfmI96CMC6pw4iw#utm_source=dtp&utm_medium=facebook Somewhere in between is the truth i guess. Not that i was ever big into watching or reading news ever, but who really knows what the truth is anymore? I could post article after article of some bullshit thats in the news that im passionate about, but really, how does one know its true?

The LV coming through Glen Onoko. Wish this was in color.

People make fun of me for wearing my favorite cap. I call it my Traveling Cap because it has been everywhere I've traveled. Been to more countries than most people (13). It is 18 years old, almost to the day. It pretty much never left my head from age 17-25. Fuck. I just went through some pictures and found some gems of this cap. Thanks for that @Benm

All kinds of hats. Saltys is the best one...I think he found it in the lost and found.

dont wear a man bonnet https://www.espn.com/espnmag/story?id=3511542 Let's face it: A cap with an uncreased brim worn as a fashion statement isn't a baseball hat at all; it's a man bonnet. Any self-respecting dude understands you can't simply buy the perfect baseball hat, you have to create it. You have to catch foul balls in it and use it as firstaid gauze. Like the burn scars on a Jimi Hendrix guitar, what makes a baseball hat cool is the stories it tells with each scuff and sweat stain and, yes, lack of symmetry from the maddening process of massaging the brim in an endless attempt to re-create a just-so arc. You've seen the arc. It's the one right above the Vitruvian Man, Da Vinci's ideal. Think that guy would be caught dead in a man bonnet? Me neither. -DAVID FLEMING, SENIOR WRITER, ESPN THE MAGAZINE

very interesting perspective. i'm sure we'll get some case law soon enough to find the answer. until then, i'm not risking anything.

The next month or so is pretty booked up for me, but maybe one of these days I'll hit you up and head over to this place.

Reminds me of Green Acres. A lot of the things people love about big cities has been eroded during the pandemic. Shopping, restaurants, nightlife, entertainment...the glitz and the glamour have been replaced by expensive takeout and peaceful protests..

Garth is also a nice place..close to Wayne

if i had a second house a month ago i'd have no second house by now, that's for sure.

I will never personally figure out why people want to live in cities for this reason. My Aunt lives in New York. Cant remember the last time i went there to see her. Hate it. cant park the car where she lives......all the obstacles like carrying groceries or packages from where you park to where you live. No thanks. I get it, some think its awesome, its just not for me. I will tell you that real estate in the Poconos is moving like Hot Cakes at Toasts house on a Sunday Morning. Moving way faster and for more money than ever before. Why? Everyone can draw their own conclusion, but you touched on the reason.

Def more expensive. Got mine card in May and the edibles are great but they’re not as fun since it’s not candy.

More expensive....previous source I might buy flowers and edibles from occasionally...I’ll see. The PA carts are fire!!!!

No act here, unlike you, I care about all races and income levels. Keep in mind, you said people who get businesses handed to them from their families work harder than Mexican landscapers, which is bullshit and racist. Also, your man told me point blank to my face that mommy and daddy bought you that motorcycle. Unlike you, everything I have in life other than one family trip (how dare I spend time with the people who raised me?) is paid for by me. You paid for that lake house huh? (My family only has 1 home) Edit: sucks this had to turn into personal attacks BTW. Didn’t want it to come to this. However, as John Rambo once said “They drew first blood, sir.”

In the woods. Cross country skiing. No lines, no masks, no reservations. Just silence, snow covered trees, and limitless fresh untracked Perder.

Salt and vinegar!

I've been dreaming up the "hands free cheese ball dispenser" for years now. Maybe now is the right time to bring this idea to life.

The ground that gets pee'd on?

I’m pretending there is no COVID on the days I go skiing. Just being honest.

It also helps when you screw with the data to make your point... https://www.thecity.nyc/platform/amp/coronavirus/2020/6/14/21290963/nyc-covid-19-trackers-skipping-floyd-protest-questions-even-amid-fears-of-new-wave

It’s fun that you can pick and choose data points to speak to the narrative that you’re trying to prove. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the majority of the stuff at Sturgis outdoors?

The way people are using a deadly disease for political gain is disgusting

Our cantaloupe are doing great this year. Picked 4 already and have about 10 more to go.
