Many years ago, my husband had a big Siri oops:

Me: got dinner, heading home
Him: you stupid b****

(He was trying to use Siri to reply, but she kept saying she didn't understand. When he cursed at her, that's when she replied. Thankfully, I realized this right away.)

Today we have another one.
A screenshot of a text message thread between a husband and wife. Him: Need anything else picked up on my way home? Her: Just the Walgreens if you can, the link is above and it’s also in email with a list of the tiers Him: Blah blah, blah, blah, blah blah blah blah blah Him: Supposed to be bananas Her: oooooh hahaha Her: that’s almost as bad as the other siri one Her: I was like ??

We finally got snow in Tahoe! A few photos from Palisades Tahoe today. The last one shows a couple of patrol-triggered avalanches off of KT-22.
A snowy landscape with evergreen trees covered with snow. In the distance person and a dog are walking near a chairlift called Wa She Shu. A big crowd of people waiting for a chairlift to open. The chairlift is in the distance and covered with snow, and the foreground is also white with snow. (The people waited for 5 hours until the lift finally opened.) Two bright red snowcats face each other on a snowy landscape. There are trees and a chairlift that is not currently running in the background. A snowy mountain with a gondola and a chairlift going up the side. Snow covered pine trees in the foreground. There are several avalanches which were triggered by ski patrol bombing earlier in the day.

Not feeling good about other places I've posted personal stuff. So, here's a personal thing.

Two years ago I had a bad injury to my right knee while skiing. Had surgery and put in a lot of work. A week ago, I finished a Masters slalom race and I was OK and had fun! Here's a photo of me in the race.
A woman dressed in a lot of pink on skis and participating in a slalom ski race. There is a blue gate in front of her and she is just starting to touch it with her pole to knock it out of the way. It's snowing, and her pink outfit is a bit glowy. She also wishes she could take herself and bend her body position like an action figure to improve it, but it's not bad. She is angulating and her skis are on edge. The gate is fairly well centered on her body.
