I took this picture from the plane as I flew back into Jackson on Sunday evening. One of the great things about leaving for the weekend is how excited I am to be back!
Here’s the latest on the affordable housing crisis facing us in Jackson. The funny thing is, everyone seems to nod their collective heads when asked if there is a housing problem in Jackson, but nothing substantial seems to get done.
Saw this picture in the SLC airport this week. The JHMR is really making a push to have the new Tram be THE event of the 2008-2009 North American ski season. I think it’s a good strategy, and they just might pull it off. If mother nature co-operates the way she did this winter, it could be a bonanza. Forgetting on mountain amenities for a second, I think it’s understood among the skiing public, that when the snow is good, there’s not a ski area in the country that comes close to comparing to Jackson.
This is an good piece in the Planet about the effects of the gas exploration in the Pinedale area. And it doesn't even touch on the flourishing meth business, a drug so nasty, it makes you yearn for the good ‘ol days of cocaine addiction.
The latest Indiana movie “Indiana Jones and the Magic Flying Skull” or whatever it’s called, opened last night. I'm not really sure what makes me feel older, the fact that the hero is 65 or that it was 27 years ago that we first saw Indy, Marion and the rest of the gang. Nonetheless, if you're between 30-60 you have to go see it. Have to. And while the reviews have been lukewarm, I guarantee it will be better than any of the last 19 Star Wars movies.
Finally, from Bill Simmons’ latest column for ESPN:
” All right, I'll ask: How come it took three seconds to euthanize Eight Belles, but the WNBA is starting Year 12?” Amen.
