Since today is my last day of freedom before heading back to work for a long stretch, I decided to go enjoy the snow. I love to cross country ski so I figured I would head to my favorite trail way out in the woods. It is usually groomed by the state, but because of the big budget crisis, it was cut. I was pretty bummed. They didn't even create a place to park for the person who had enough ambition to cut their own trail (not me). And they didn't even have the courtesy to open up the gate to the trail. Needless to say it probably won't get any use this year. On to my next favorite spot in the back corner of town. Here it appeared that someone had attempted to make a trail, but not a very good one. So I opted to use my snowshoes that I threw in the back of the jeep, just in case. I didn't even have my snowshoes on when this lady in a huge ass Mountaineer pulled up and bellowed at me, "you better stay off the ski trail." Being the sarcastic ass that I can be at times, I yelled back "what trail?" and went upon my way. I did stay off the trail because that would be rude and it wouldn't be as much fun. After spending over an hour walking on the mountain bike trail, I headed back. When I got back to the car, there were a bunch of little kids who were sledding down the ski trail. That definitely made me smile. I think the rude lady deserved it. I just hope that when she got back she didn't scream at the innocent children like the way she did me.
On a different subject, it is so depressing to watch anything on NBC. Thanks to the writers strike, I am watching a 1996 episode of Jay Leno with Chris Farley. Remember him? Maybe I should get cable to increase my viewing options.....
