I still subscribe to the NYTs. Is there a better newspaper that provides in-depth coverage to national/international news (despite these weird stories)? I’m ready to jump ship.

Usually yes, especially with studded tires. The trick is to adjust the air pressure. Softer snow, lower the psi.

Maybe the 3rd time we vote down this initiative to end RCV will be charm.

Ya got me on the park/refugee designation. Bravo. What exactly is your point on the rest? I don’t think you have one.

It is a national park. All the owners need to be in on this, not just the 2/3 of those who live 400-500 miles away, as if that matters more than those other owners who live a few thousand miles away.

Are those #s accurate, or your guess? Even if they are fairly accurate, is it wrong to make a case for how disastrous it might be? And, um, large parts of ANWR are ‘pristine’. Personally, I’m more concerned about the Ambler road.

Before the European bike trip, I was on a 2+ week wilderness raft trip with my adult son & friends and watched my 7yo g’daughter for a week, so almost 2 months out of sync (not a complaint). It feels good to resume quiet routines that I enjoy, however.
