OT – skiing this morning

[quote=bearishgurl][quote=AN]The other side of a blizzard… http://www.cnn.com/2013/02/09/us/northeast-blizzard/index.html yeah, I’ll let you have your four seasons :). Not jealous one bit while I deal with the harsh 60s and sunny.[/quote]

IIRC, didn’t you once post here that you were really impressed with Chicago, AN?

Or did that mean just to visit but not live there :=0[/quote]
Chicago downtown. But I’m more impressed with SD 🙂

The few times I’ve been in Chicago, the place has left me cold and feeling bleak. It probably didn’t help that it was windy, raining, and dreary basically all of the time I was there — so maybe spending a week there when it’s sunny in summer would change my view.

I’m not impressed with Chicago weather. Just their wide clean streets with high rises.

I can fly the whole family to Reno for $840 on Southwest and ski Tahoe. Don’t want the snow anywhere near my house.

agree, I rather snowboard in Tahoe, Vail, whistler, etc than central park or anywhere near my house.

If winter is so great, why do all the east coasters fly to Florida every winter ?

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm ?

[spdrun]

Florida is on the East Coast last I checked. Nothing wrong with getting away for a few days, but I’m in NYC by choice. Not because anyone forced me to live here 🙂

Those are gorgeous pics, spdrun! Lucky you!!! 🙂

I’ve been reading a book called:

Black Rednecks and White Liberals by Thomas Sowell.

It is an excellent book, and has me thinking I should relocate to NY or Boston, maybe even VT.

Picking up on what spdrun said, outside of NE and maybe San Francisco and a few other areas, I’ve always felt a lack of civility in this country – the dominant redneck culture that is so pervasive.

paramount, did you ever stop to think that you may have come upon this feeling of “lack of civility in your countrymen” honestly? After all, you moved yourself (from SD?) to TV, near, if not actually within the “SoCal `epicenter’ of `redneck culture'” :=]

Gorgeous.
