As winter approaches, thought we could use a thread about all the exciting things happening at ski sundown, the MRG of CT...

I think that's a capital idea. Solid "A" material. Not, mind you, elite NE university "A" material but definitely a good regional college "A." Assuming good regional colleges should even be permitted to give As. Wouldn't want their students getting they idea that they can compete on the same terms as elite NE university students, right?

You mean not all "A"s are universal? Some "A"s are harder to get than other "A"s.... wtf? I figure we would have a standardization of "A"s for all higher level institutions.

What about the emotional scars they will receive when they realized the level of difficulty of getting an "A" differs from school to school.

And if they go to an even easier school it may over boost their ego!

So I was out in central MA today and my daughter was getting 7 month photos done. It's definitley getting crisper and starting to transition to fall. Some certain tree species are yellowing up and dropping leaves. It's slowly happening, but it's coming. I can feel it in the air.

My wi is bumming since beach opportunities have been limited - claims she did not get her summer. As long as that translates to early season skiing, I am ok with it!

Currently at my parent's place in Ludlow/Okemo, VT....aka Sundown North, home of the most ridiculed DDs in VT.

We walked out on the deck this afternoon and saw a Black Bear 20 feet away. If winter was near, that bastard would be hibernating. I yelled at him to go to sleep.

Actually it was 0 3 6 and 1 year. But six months had scheduling issues. So it was actually the six month session at seven months. Lol

I got a Double-D on a computer course back in college. Really deserved to flunk but they couldn't bring themselves to do it.
Summer can't be over yet, there's still only been one Atlantic hurricane.

I must commend this forum, you're finding a lot more to talk about than Snowjournal.

That is because of global cooling!
