    Jets vs Pats. We are about to sort out the AFC East real soon. I have not figured out if the Pats were bad on Monday night, or if the Bills were good. The Jets looked like heavy weights against Houston. With Miami playing the Colts, by Tuesday it will be much clearer. I would not be...

    Sorry about your Jets. It was probably one of those games that if you replayed the game 5 more times the Jets would win 4 of them. Be happy that the Pats didn't make any progress. The Bills, well they had over 350 yards of offense and scored 3 points.They certainly are not going to the playoffs.

    Traffic ticket for stickers on rear window

    In 1970 I failed my first test for my drivers license in western N.Y. because I had an Ithaca College decal on the rear window. I will remain reticent regarding my second and third tests.

    Kings Peak beta?

    The best tip I can give is to follow the contour after the gunsight. This will allow you to keep from dropping elevation. I camped near a lake and made a two day trip, but would go for a long day hike if I were to do it again. I had a lot of postholing but it was earlier in the season. enjoy!

    Muck Boots

    I got mine from the Sportsmans Guide real cheap. They are great, but I cannot fit them in my kayak because the deck is too low.

    South Meadows trailhead in winter

    A good place to park and camp. If you have low clearance and rear wheel drive, walk the road first to check conditions. A shovel and tow rope would be a good idea for most people. The road can get narrow when passing another vehicle.

    Creating views with a chainsaw

    Southern Balds In the south they have had this debate for years now. The southern balds have been disappearing due to nature reclaiming the open areas on numerous summits which historically have been open, but below tree line. There are many theories as to why the balds even exist, and many...

    Mt Cook

    I have an old friend, Chip Salaun, of Estes Park, Colorado that died on the mountain in about 1982. I believe his body remains there. He was an expert mountaineer and superb athlete.

    Reddington "cell tower"? Windmill?

    You happen to be correct. 30 towers in Maine won't be solving any problems. There are better locations to put wind projects. I agree. But as was suggested, I was tossing out some valid debate material. As power demands grow, the power has to come from somewhere. Electricity is a commodity...

    Reddington "cell tower"? Windmill?

    Let's compare 30 towers to a West Virginia strip mine that has it coal shipped to Cincinnati, to be burned conventionally, and the results. 30 towers and all the necessary infrastrastructure would undoubtedly be a mess. A W.V. strip mine with its mine acid poisoning sreams, certainly a mess...

    I didn't go into the ditch, but I sure did flatten a garbage barrel. Mine was cookies and cream.

    grand canyon

    mid feb should be a nice time to hike. few people, the best snowpack at the rim if you like to ski, and the suns track is getting high enough so that the days are a bit longer. conditions, at the south rim although much milder at the south rim than the north, can still be quite cold. in...
