A few random thoughts from my trip to Keystone ski resort yesterday.
- The 5 AM alarm is a hateful, hateful thing. But achieving the final goal of the exercise, which is to beat traffic up I-70 and get first tracks in the fresh powder, is absolutely worth it.
- I have no idea who the 11,000 people are that suddenly arrived at the Outback Express lift roundabout 11:30 in the morning, but I'm glad that it took you so long, so I could get my satisfactory half-day in before you showed up and wrecked everything.
- Many thanks to Occasional Readers Jess and Nate, for providing a place to hang out for a few hours afterwards, along with a very yummy free dinner, although it would have been cooler if you'd had a hot tub. Just sayin'.
- To all the people braking their way down I-70 coming out of the Eisenhower Tunnel last night: Please, for the love of whatever you may find holy in the world, learn to fucking drive. A slightly wet road does not obligate you to drive 20 MPH on an interstate highway, at least not in the left lane.
- A special shoutout to the cock-knocking ass-pony in the blue XTerra: Especially once you get to the point where the road is completely dry, it no longer qualifies as 'passing' to be driving 37 MPH, past a long line of cars doing 35, in a 65 zone. Also, just because the people in the right hand lane brake, doesn't mean you have to also. Also also, that guy behind you, flashing his high beams, with the line of about 30 cars behind him, when you have a quarter-mile gap in front of you in the lane? Yeah, he wants you to do something. Use that high school edumacation and see if you can deduce what it might be.

Loved the traffic rant - so many times those exact sentiments have passed through my brain. Sorry there were such shitty drivers.
