The Rants of Issachar

Well my day off has been pretty good. I went out to Grouse Mountain and did the Grind. It's technically closed, (who told me it was open?), but there's already a few people on it. There was actually a few people clearing snow from the trail close the top.

I didn't get a very good time, but that's what you get when you chat with people on the trail. I can't wait to go again.

It's always nice meeting people there too. I ended up chatting with a lady whose son was at the same UNIS conference I took my students to in New York last month. Small world.

Anyway, Grouse Mountain was lovely.



Gorgeous sky crossing the Second Narrows bridge on the way in.




Fortunately, they don't really mean it...



Beauty...









I saw a couple of motorcyclists racing on the way home. The one on the right, (not the one in the white shirt), jumped in front of me then stood up on his seat. He pulls it up on the back wheel and peels off. Smart move buddy...

Sheesh, I don't read your blog for a week and everything happens. The school flooding sounded interesting (you responsible adult you).
The pictures of Grouse Mountain are beautiful; lucky for you it was open and the signs were just being deceptive (it's like how, in Denver, a light that just turned red really means green).

That motorcycle stunt looks almost as dangerous as using your phone to take pictures while driving. Thats the part that would scare me =)

pthbbb... It's easy to take photos while driving. Pick up the camera and take the photo. Just don't look through the viewfinder or take your eyes off the road. :P

Have you read my blog lately? Twice in the last month I've been almost run over because driver's have been fiddling with their cell phones (or something equally distracting). Bryan's broken wrist when he was hit last year was probably due to a driver on a cell phone too. Slap on the wrist for you! But lovely photos all the same :)

I always read your blog. :) How else am I going to keep up on what you're up to? The phone? That's so 1875...

Yeah we should have dinner one of these days and catch up. I'm leaving soon y'know. We'll set it up on MSN though, not the phone.

Beautiful pics! Good thing for digital cameras and LCDs. It's a bit trickier taking nice pics with an old-fashioned film camera while driving. LOL.
