At least the snowmaking retention pods will be full!

Ditto!

Been there, done that. I ended up throwing an old, unwanted blanket over the trap so it couldn't see me. Then I just opened the end of trap and ran like Hell. It eventually made its way out and scurried away.

Muskrat perhaps? Hard to see the tail in the pics.

Rumor has it that there was porn filmed in one of the houses on mountain road down near the valley. Never came across any of the films though.

They had one of those at Action Park, but I recall it was a tube. I think the pond was a spring-fed quarry hole and the water temp felt like 34' in the middle of summer. Made people get out ASAP!

But hopefully no grooming! One can dream...

The highlight of my Bethlehem Steel career was working up in Homer Research labs and getting to go up into the observatory during lunch and look over the entire Lehigh Valley. Wish there were cellphones with cameras back in those days...

I thought it was from Pangolins? Also, "created" needs to be defined. Are existing organism, genetically modified, actually created?

TFTI!

Given how it used to be, it's horribly exhausting anymore. Since the wife doesn't want to fly, we drove to the Keys and New Orleans. If you break up the drive, it's not all that bad and you get to see a lot more of the country than if you fly, but you have to be willing to put in that time.

Yeah and just doesn't like the entire process.

Maui is the island that I've not been to. Want to get back and see it, but the wife's being a stick in the mud.

"and they don’t go overboard with the grooming" QFT!

I did some work in Mexico City and the men's urinal in the facility there was just a gutter in the floor with some water running down it. The shitters were just 5 gal buckets with a toilet seat sitting on top. It was up the to user to "flush" them out.

And then there are the big, circular hand washing units, typically in the center of the bathroom where you step on the ring to allow the water to come out. I've seen people using them as urinals before, whether they did it on purpose or just didn't know it was for hand-washing was always the thought.

TFTI!

When does @Barb show up?

We landed in Denver in a blizzard one ski trip. Couldn't see the runway or anything for that matter until like 10' above the ground. Plane erupted in applause. Heard we were one of the last planes to land before they closed the airport. Guess the pilot(s) really wanted to ski that storm!

My brother-in-law just moved back from CA and is hotel-housing. He says he's enjoying it!

Is it bigger/better than your Allentown hotel house?

Got the second Fauci ouchie Pfizer stab yesterday at 2pm. Not sure why, but it burned significantly more so than the first shot. Don’t know if it was what’s in the shot or how it was administered. Son says that if they inject slow, it burns more. Other than far more arm pain than the first shot, initial effects were non-existent. However that would be short-lived. Woke up around 4am with raging headache, fever, chills, muscle and joint soreness, nausea, overall lethargy and fatigue. It was just like having the flu, even eyes hurt to open them. No, I didn’t have anything to drink prior either. Guess it’s better than being in ICU with a tube down my throat...

Not to mention Wolf didn't try to get millions of dollars in advance for writing a book proclaiming himself as some sort of leadership god, while fudging the numbers of nursing home deaths. Cuomo is just another dirtbag politician.
