Think this thing could take a pit bull? Reportedly, an American kid let one of these into his tent while camping, and it proceeded to eat him. That’s gotta just be bad luck though, I think that anything requiring a chain and Hannibal mask is a pet worth keeping.

First Tracks
It’s comming on ski season. Here is an excerpt from an article I’m writing for RLife Magazine.

The day starts early. Like 5:00 early. The alarm goes off and there’s that moment of truth, cliché though it may be: nap a while longer and get a normal start, or hit the road in the dark and be ready for first tracks. But then the phone rings and it’s all on.
Real skiers have the coffee ready the night before and the gear already loaded up. All that’s necessary is clothing, lots of it, and the car keys, and the dog. Some of us take it that serious. The drive only takes us a few minutes once I’ve stopped to pick up Dave. And we’re there, past the golf courses, past the east bowl parking lot, past the main parking lot and almost up to Mt. Rose Pass. There are usually a few others in the lot, usually Lee’s green Ranger with the Mountain Gazette sticker, or Carrie’s Forester with the snowmachine sticker, all parked barely straight and looking hastily abandoned, though it’s cold and dim in the strangled light of the morning.

This is sort of funny
Be sure to check back in tomorrow for pics, report and commentary on the Outlaw Cross Race #3 from truckee. I’m going to make sure Shawn keeps his pants on this time.

Thought you all would like to see a little old school Shawn. The cross up is circa ‘85. I’m especially proud of the trucker hat. Old school or way ahead of my time? The rasberry and broken hand are from Mammoth ‘97. All the assorted scabs just made it funnier.

I’d like to say that it was skill that produced this result so fast, but in fact Illustrator has a new tool that just vectorizes images instantly. I still have to do the editing, but that will basically be easy.
