Don't trust your travel agent to give you accurate information if you are planning a trip outside your immediate area. My wife and I were at a restaurant in Missoula last Sunday evening and this was the conversation we overheard from the next table and the waiter. A family was seated there at it was obvious they were bummed out and upset.

Father: "I just don't understand why they closed the ski resort this early. God, look at the snow up there. It was almost up to the bottom of the chairs on the chair lift. The travel agent said it was great skiing."

Mother: "I know, all that money we paid for the trip and now we can't ski."

So, this goes on for a few minutes and the waiter comes up to take their order. They ask him why Missoula SnowBowl is closed as well as Big Mountain in Whitefish.

Waiter: "Well, have you ever heard of Ursus Horribilus?"

Family: "No...what's that?"

Waiter: "Where are you guys from?"

Dad: " Georgia."

Waiter: "Ok, that explains it. This time of year the Grizzly bears are waking up from a long winters nap, and they are hungry and mean as hell.
And....SnowBowl and Big Mountain are sitting right in prime Grizzly habitat.
Most of the winter the skiiers are shoosing right over sleeping Grizzlies and they don't even know it."

Teenage Boy in Family: "Wow. That would be so cool to see a Grizzly Bear for real."

Waiter: "No..it wouldn't be cool because you would probably be their first meal in 5 months."

Family looks shocked at this. Dad looks over at me and asks if what the waiter is saying is true. My wife gives me a good kick in the shins under the table as she knows I'm going to give them some smart-ass answer.

"Yep. You don't want to be around when the bears are coming out of hibernation. That could be a very dangerous situation to get yourself in."

That's what I said to save my ass..........what I really would have liked to say was...." No, He's full of shit. You go up there and telemark all over the place. There's no bears up there or anywhere near here."

Man........the older I get, the nastier I get. Love it!

(BTW... there are at least 35 known Grizzlies in the SnowBowl Basin area, and at least twice that many at Big Mountain.)

Funny you say that. My wife has been hooked on That 70's Show on Netflix and we are in the 4th season now. She agrees with you that if I would be anyone on that show, it would be Kelso.

Anyway, I think in season 1 or 2, the Christmas episode, there's this cute little scene between Kelso and Red.. Where Red wouldn't let Kelso... Ahh Hell.. This episode:

Ok DakotaT.. the water is holding back until you least expect it. We've had a cold spring...........actually lots of snow and cold temps, so the expected flood is pushed back a few weeks. Just keep watching the weather reports and when it hits 65 to 70 degrees in Glascow Mt you're in for a rocking good time along the Missouri.

I have repeated this story (at last in part) so many times I can not remember. Well I probably couldn't remember if it was only one time but that is beside the point.

Zero2Cool (13h) : Haha
Mucky Tundra (14h) : No time for talking! Back to work beast!
beast (14h) : You saw only 4,201 of my mocks? 🥺 I think that means you missed more than half of them 😢
dfosterf (17h) : Does anyone know what Lambeau field improvements got put on hold? My guess would be for the 2025 draft
Zero2Cool (20h) : It's like listen, you made 4,201 mocks, no shit.
Zero2Cool (20h) : Cuz during the draft "I had them mocked there!" as if it's amazing.
Zero2Cool (20h) : They're fun to do once in awhile. It's people who think they are "content" that annoy me.
dfosterf (20h) : Against tbd
dfosterf (20h) : Answer to your question is yes, it's a Thursday, will be the Chiefs aga
dfosterf (20h) : Luckily for all concerned, I don't post them. I did one, but that was like 25 mocks ago
Zero2Cool (20h) : NFL 2024 gonna start Sept 5th isn't it???
Zero2Cool (20h) : Ugh... kids these days!
dfosterf (20h) : I'm gonna go do some more mock draft hell instead 🤪
Zero2Cool (20h) : Did we do one of those prediction threads yet for 2024 season?
dfosterf (21h) : In my city, they are playing the nimby game, in order to keep some railroad tracks vs. 2 professional sports teams and a concert venue.
dfosterf (21h) : And/Or a city council, of which I haven't seen a good one in a very long time
dfosterf (21h) : That sounds like a Mayor, not a city.
buckeyepackfan (26-Mar) : Packers halt scheduled 80mil upgrade of stadium until lease agreement talks are restarted
Zero2Cool (26-Mar) : City of Green Bay puts Packers' Lambeau Field lease talks on hold
buckeyepackfan (26-Mar) : Packers 1 of 3 teams to vote no on new kickoff rule.
Zero2Cool (26-Mar) : Packers sign another Kicker
dfosterf (26-Mar) : Lengthy explanation at PFF if you click the link
dfosterf (26-Mar) : Kickoff rules officially changed.ngthy explan
Zero2Cool (26-Mar) : lol
Cheesey (26-Mar) : 2009? No thanks! One open heart surgery is enough!
dfosterf (26-Mar) : Good for you!
Zero2Cool (26-Mar) : Yes. That's the one.
dfosterf (26-Mar) : Is that "Lady Dugan" per chance?
dfosterf (26-Mar) : Crystal?
dfosterf (26-Mar) : Please refresh my memory
Zero2Cool (26-Mar) : Alan posts. Crystal back in my life. It's 2009 all over again! Lol
Mucky Tundra (26-Mar) : BAH GAWD! THAT'S CHEESEYS MUSIC!
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Gutekunst said early stages of Jordan Love contract being discussed.
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Shouldn't be penalized cuz official screwed up
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Yeah, challenge until you are incorrect twice.
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Fining them is the goal, per the people who made the rule anyway.
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Still waiting on the kickoff rule changes. Did hear yesterday that the touchback proposal will now be the 30 yard line, not the 35
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Probably speed of game issues with your proposal
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Hopefully the refs don't get in the habit of throwing flags on this
beast (25-Mar) : I think when it comes to Challenges should get two strikes, so unlimited challenges as long as they keep winning them, but 2 wrong then done
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Still subject to the fines etc
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Yes, I should have been more specific. Also, they are now saying it would be a 15 yard penalty. That makes more sense .
beast (25-Mar) : Simply fined in the week to follow
beast (25-Mar) : I agree with one NFL official, it'll probably be like some of the helmets hits, not really called by the refs on the field but simply fined
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Hip drop is not. Super confusing. Referees job is harder
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Swivel hip drop is banned
dfosterf (25-Mar) : The hip drop enforcement will be in the form of fines, etc. Not flags
dfosterf (25-Mar) : A major foul will be enforced on the offense if there are offsetting penalties in a change of possession situation
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Teams will receive a 3rd challenge if 1 was successful. Previously, it took 2
