Viva La Free-Heel Revolucion!
Okay, so maybe it's not going to change anything politically (oh, why did Turkmenbashy have to be succeeded by Gurbanguly Berdimuhammedow?), but tele-skiing is really fun. [NOTE: I'm not sure how long this post is going to be, but it's fairly definitely going to be devoid of any examination of the occult meanings of performance art -- I more or less just told you what it's all about -- Central Asian political drama and the exhilerating, if improbable, sensation of sketching a parabola down a smooth mountainside while in a goofy looking half-lunge.]
A ski instructor told me that the geology of the Cottonwood Canyons is nearly unique -- the only other place where storm systems move from a large body of water (like the Great Salt Lake) immediately to desert mountains (like the Wasatch) is in Iran, where storms apparently suck moisture out of the Caspian and drop dumps of dry powder on the Alborz mountains.
Okay, they're closing the bar where I get wi-fi. this is a post-in-progress. stay tuned.
