    Lobster Rolls

    Much of the south and oddly the UK over the pond is a seemingly endless pile of brown and tan foods with few veggies or exceptions anywhere in sight (at least when eating out at local focused food joints).

    Golf

    Now that's a break. My full break was only about 15 years. But I also had a stretch of another almost 10 years where I only did one or two charity golf events per year. Just restarted 2 years ago and have only managed a small handful of driving range and rounds per year. My game is both short...

    All About The Ivy League

    @Sbooker , US News and World Report is the college ranking publication everyone uses and also loves to hate... they put Dartmouth at #15 in the US. US College rankings @ChrisC , Felt odd for you to randomly mention my undergrad school in your listings of only a dozen or so top schools in the...

    U.S. Dialect Map

    Interesting. I have never heard that term ever used in New England states myself. Though I obviously never lived directly in NE either. I can say that there is zero use of said term anywhere in upstate NY though. In fact I never heard that such a term even existed for a water fountain until I...

    U.S. Dialect Map

    But did your family of 5 order Sheet Pizza's from there on occasional weekends or for parties? Semi-staple order if we ever got Pizza (pickup only, no deliveries back in the day) They are the typical Pudgies greasy and also HUGE. "Sheet 26"x18" 32 Slices" or rarely the combo meal "Sheet...

    U.S. Dialect Map

    I've seen variations of this quiz in several publications and internet sites over the decades. For reference I grew up calling it "Soda Pop" along the southern edge of CNY which not even an option in the quiz. Was confusing when I moved to Atlanta where all of that type of substance is called...

    LA Fires: Jan 2025

    Especially clear it's revenge since it always hits the US mid-west and east while those parts of Canada are having good air quality. ;) I forget again, what was it that Canada supposedly did that was far worse than Mexico (since Mexico has a lower tariff rate)?

    Lobster Rolls

    That sounds a lot like Charlie Chaplin's famous line: "I don't want to belong to any club that would have me as a member." Don't worry all I eat is lobster and Bon-bons 24/7 :p. No Speedies? (granted more Binghamton-ish than Syracuse, but regionally important to CNY food scene).

    Oz/NZ 2025

    Meh, Try +21c at 2pm followed by -26c by 5am the next morning without ever travelling any distance at all (a few trees died from that one). Or +23C at noon followed by snow and -5c by 3pm (and absolutely howling winds bringing the cold front in). I even have a screen shot somewhere showing...

    American Election 2024

    They did? I don't recall anything from Kamala other than "Exact same as sleepy Joe but without the sleepiness". Not all that much of a platform IMO (especially when espoused in a typical word salad jumble). Disagree. Trump repeatedly made various campaign promises as the months went along...

    Lobster Rolls

    Can confirm that going rate. I just spent much of July back east in basically all of the New England states and upstate NY. That it was. I also mostly dislike Mayo or at least the way it is used in the US. I like it fine as a small volume combiner to help say chicken, tuna, potato salad hang...

    Oregon's Insurance Crisis

    Invalidated based on current Oregon laws/constitutional amendments. Trial lawyers Association(s) are likely throwing large sums at lobbyists to prevent the legislature from passing any new laws or putting state amendments on the ballot to legalize changes helpful for recreation industry in any...

    Oregon's Insurance Crisis

    Operates in literally every state in the US with a ski area, except Oregon as of now. The trial lawyers in that state must have a supersize amount of cash flowing through lobbyists or something. I remember reading about this topic about 2 months ago and figured something would get resolved, but...

    Mustang Snowcat Sold to Same Aspen Duo that Bought Silverton

    Got it. I was just there in 2024 and the 2nd lift is not happening according to everyone. The new owners did not want to have even a tiny bit of cannibalization of the heli operation (which is the most profitable part of the place). Plus if there would be no hiking off the new lift, to...

    Mustang Snowcat Sold to Same Aspen Duo that Bought Silverton

    I guess my question is, define 'backside'. The ridgeline where the 2nd chair lift was proposed by the Brills? Not that that lift placement was well thought out anyway. Helpful, sure; but also guaranteed to require lots of hiking to be truly useful. Not sure why the Brills didn't really have good...

    Midnight Oil and Other Oz Music

    So are you the responsible one? Or are you partying it up as well and showing them how its done?

    Mustang Snowcat Sold to Same Aspen Duo that Bought Silverton

    +1 This was well discussed even back in January when I was there. Based on Silverton experience I expect minimal initial change. Will wait see about the long term though.

    Wachusett, Hunter, Snow and Skier Visits

    Interesting. We always have called them Sledheads. But I think Slednecks is probably the more appropriate term for the majority of them.

    Cannon Mountain Tram ($30M?)

    But Cannon has always had a tram ("that's the way it's always been"). I could see a lot of people getting freaked out on a detach chair going up and down. Seems like a 'low' capacity 8 or 10 pack gondola would be the intelligent choice. Probably still would be at least $15-20M though. Also...

    Xeriscape In Desert Climates

    That is kinda a mess. Good privacy and shade though. Almost impossible to do one or two things at a time. Almost need to rip it all out and then start over with one big project if you were to do something. But then you lose the mature shade/privacy trees and plants.
