Scottish ski resort closes because of too much snow

The resort has been forced to close its doors to skiers today (Friday January 15th) in the wake of a two-day blizzard that has left approach roads to the centre impassable and sections of its funicular railway submerged in deep drifts of up to 15ft..

The centre called in specialist clearing equipment yesterday, including caterpillar vehicles and snow blowers, but these efforts have been defeated by the weather.

A statement on the resort website this morning reads: “The mountain and all facilities, access roads and car parks will be closed today (Friday) to allow for digging out after major drifting during the storm.

“We have come in this morning and it feels like groundhog day. All our work yesterday has been filled in again.

I know it's not weird news. But school closed at midday today.
Bearing in mind I only got in at 10.00 (after the Doctors) and we had break at 10.15 I did precious little work today.

Tiger was off anyway.
Felt bad about being so slack, but at least it didn't hurt him.

Just letting you all know...I'll be moving to Juneau soon.

JUNEAU — Two dancers on stage at an exotic dance club in Juneau got into a physical fight over $1, according to a Dodge County Sheriff’s Department report.

Officers were called to Silk Exotic around 9:30 p.m. Thursday to break up the fight.

A customer was trying to give a dollar to one of the dancers, but the other dancer took it, according to the report.

Both women fell to the floor, pulled each other’s hair and punched and slapped each other. Other dancers and customers separated the women.

One of the dancers involved in the fight is pregnant. Both women were cited for disorderly conduct.

Dodge County Sheriff Todd Nehls said calls to the club are rare.

“I was surprised by this as we seldom receive calls for service from this business — this is a rare exception,” he said.

When you do, you must get some night food. Trust me, it's delicious.

[Gravdigr]

I gotta request some clarification on "night food".

Ima assume it's more than just food et at night?

[BigV]

well, it was awhile ago. the bars closed and we weren't done it seemed, it's all pretty foggy now. I posted *then* thought... hm. I better look it up. I don't remember the name of the outfit--I only remember walking up to a window that opened onto their kitchen. There was a long line for oh-dark-thirty in the morning. They're only open (really) late at night. They make up the batch of food, sell it and when they're out, they're done. I was urged to go there by the other folks I worked with, they just told me it's across from the hotel... shit. I forget how they told me to order. Suffice to say, I placed my order phonetically, since I didn't know what they served, and there was no menu. I got this big square styrofoam clamshell takeaway container totally full of some steaming hot food. There was meat, and some . . . dumplings? It was the best meal I had on the whole trip.

I looked around on the internet a bit and the closest thing I could find was "Pel Meni's" and they serve russian meatballs / dumplings. That may well be it. We were not falling down drunk, but we had been drinking.

so, to answer your question, yes, it was 'just food', but it was transcendent.

"You see, officer, this stranger just gave me this SUV, I had no idea it was stolen..."

Oh, but it gets so much better.

[infinite monkey]

That is funny!

[footfootfoot]

You laugh. Canadian black flies can be brutal, especially in January.

Ask Ortho, she'll tell you.

[orthodoc]

Yeah, the black flies that don't go south for the winter? They're hungry in January, those little buggers. Climbing a tree is a good solution, all the bears do it. Even the ones with stolen SUVs.

No, no - it was the HEAD LICE!

Blake said he took off his Toronto Blue Jays cap and replaced it with a black Blue Jays toque he found on the front seat — even though his parents had always warned him about head lice.

Renaud told police the attacker wore a Blue Jays toque.

“I put it on my head. It was the first thing I did. I guess it was stupid,” said Blake.

For some reason, I don't think that was the FIRST stupid thing he did.

“I was trying to make the horse have a baby,” Mendoza explained. “I was thinking it would have a horseman baby.” He added, “I ain’t going to lie, I blew a nut in the horse. I then got off the bucket and put my clothes back on and left. I promise that I have not been back over to the horse since that time.”

Story gets grim with the update.

Gets grim? Gets!?

Wife: Andrew, what are you doing in the barn?

Andrew: Nuttin' honey!

pel'meni is the Russian for a sort of ravioli. Little meat parcels wrapped,in pasta envelopes and cooked in broth. Often served with sour cream. Heaven on a plate.
