My youngest son came by to burn some animal flesh from a hoofed ruminant mammal he had assassinated the other day.

That's the most interesting phrasing I've ever seen for cooking an animal that a hunter harvested. Eerie, yet poetic. Kudos MSU.

So far, my #1 wife is...

My wife (the only one I have, actually)...

Appreciating the SLC humour! Recent political joke I heard is that SLC is a blue fish in a red sea, which can be said same about my city of Houston.

As the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Vail Resorts, the total annual compensation of Robert Katz at Vail Resorts is $2,789,900.

The estimated Net Worth of Robert A Katz is at least $172 Million dollars as of 13 December 2021. Mr. Katz owns over 233,354 units of Vail Resorts stock worth over $113,988,126 and over the last 18 years he sold MTN stock worth over $54,843,650. In addition, he makes $2,789,900 as Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer at Vail Resorts.

Vail Associates EBITDA Margin in 2021 was 28.51% and that is after paying all sorts of ridiculous executive compensation and lining the pockets of the board and the senior managers.

In European English, this may have given reason to start an investigation into the business practices.

In American English, this supports Vail even more because people will be more apt to buy Vail stock MTN with this information.

And this here is the ultimate conflict in our back-and-forth. Let's continue this over a beer, because typing this out is exhausting me.

Actually it is appalling by any standard.

Why does everyone tell me this when I invite myself over to their basement?

I have a solution, you can live in the storage room behind our BBQ?

Behind the grey door.

My wife and I skied Jackson Hole yesterday. I had a corporate pass from the local hospital I work for so my skiing was free. Since we are passholders at Grand Targhee, which is part of the Mountain Collective group,we get 50% off full price tickets at Jackson Hole, so we thought we would take advantage of the deal and my wife could ski with me. Of course, no major ski resort publishes their ticket prices anymore and they fluctuate during the season, but we thought that a random Monday in January wouldn't be the highest priced day of the season. My wife had to call to make her reservation and when I asked how much her 50% off ticket was, she hesitated to tell me. $101 American pesos! Unbelievable! That puts their daily pass on a random non-holiday midweek day at $202 dollars!

Talk about a privileged sport for the wealthy! Maybe I should take up Polo or auto racing! Thank dog for XCD skis, old boots and national forest land I don't blame the counter-culture meadow skipping hippies for buying second hand gear and army surplus wool knickers, and refusing to support these ski "concessionaires" using our public mountains and nature's snow to make millions in profits from ski resort real estate and shitty burgers! Rant over...

skiing is cheap compared to showing horses. I can fix my skis myself, I cannot fix a horse myself. plus I am allergic horses and I am not allergic to skis.
