The water in Lake Tahoe is soooo blue. Before we moved from the Bay Area, I’d go skiing in the area once or twice each winter and take motorcycle trips to Reno/Tahoe in the summer. The Silver Legacy Hotel in Reno has some great concerts.

It's changed a lot due to the water runoff from all the golf courses they built up there.

The bluest lake I've ever seen is Crater lake in Oregon.

Have people always been this stupid??? 🙄

That's a bit more than gale-force winds. More like hurricane🌀winds. A snow-urricane, if you will.

Yeah, but the net aids in its transmission.

Its typical for a blizzard in the Sierras. As a kid on the eastern slopes gusts of up to 75 mph were considered a normal sign of spring. We'd walk to school in them.

It's a beautiful part of the country! When I lived in LA, Reno was a short plane ride away. We went to Tahoe to ski fairly often.

I'm an anomaly. I grew up near Tahoe and never went skiing. My sports coaches threatened dire consequences if I did.

I did go to the Lake a lot in the summer though. Once I went swimming in October.

That's how I feel. We're on top of a hill. I always feel bad for the people down in the lowlands near the rivers when it rains a lot.

I don't feel too bad for folk that consciously reside in a flood plain. I probably expect people to know a bit about physical geography/historical geology; lakes are temporary and rivers move.

I think people’s instincts are blurred. Everyone here is the descendant of a long line of survivors but somehow within a generation or two reversed a lot of evolution through willful ignorance.

The people who tragically died during the Christmas tsunami stood watching when every message from their brain should have said “Run!”. Watch the video and you see the survivors taking off almost immediately.

Same for people who stand at the lip of active volcanoes or watch tornados.

They are dumbing themselves to death.

Honestly, I have no issue living across an ocean inlet 80 - 90 miles from an active volcano. When you dig in the topsoil here, you find layers of gray ash. I can sweep up the ash and have done so.

No. It did back in January when we got two 4 inch rain falls a few days apart. It also started undermining a bridge I have up in the woods.

But the creek will pretty routinely go over the culvert. It’s actually designed to I think - it’s lowest in the middle.

It’s old and the concrete and stone really needs some work. I will have to fix it this summer. And we are going to have to rip rap (put large stone in to prevent erosion) two turns in the stream. Also planting red dogwood on the stream which helps the soil stay in place.

This is from last spring.

That's a LOT of water! But also very cool! We were driving alongside one of our major rivers today and I noted how high it was from all the rain we've been getting. I haven't heard of flooding yet. It's good that you're taking steps to mitigate erosion.

I think we’re paying about $75 to $80 a month for Hulu Live. The characters in Mrs. Maizel were all fantastic. Her parents were hilarious!

Right! I loved how her mom (played perfectly by Marin Hinkle, BTW!) went from this prissy, proper uptown woman to a yenta! And don't even get me started on Tony Shalhoub! 🤣🤣🤣

I ended up spending about 4 hours on what should have been a 90 minute task. Two of those hours were spent on the phone with TurboTax tech support. Every year my 1099 forms from my brokerage accounts with Charles Schwab don’t upload correctly. There certain types of bonds that TurboTax doesn’t seem to know what to do with and it doesn’t let me finish my return and file. Luckily the tech support guy was friendly and knowledgeable. We got it fixed (and a bug has been reported) and we’re getting a refund.

Excellent! Want to do mine? 🤣🤣🤣

Crater lake is gorgeous! My first husband and I camped there with his parents when we visited. I'm not a big camper, but the trip was memorable! Just waking up to that view was spectacular!

It's limited access to the point of being nearly untouchable so people won't fuck it up. The access rules are probably more strict than those I encountered at the Galapagos Islands.

That's a good thing! Because, as we know, people are stupid! If unfettered access was allowed, the next thing you know, you would see a waterski course set up with boats full of spectators rafting up. 🙄🙄

Probably didn't want you breaking a limb! My brother broke his arm hotdogging down a ski run in Italy without poles. 😕

IKR? Every year the same areas flood and we see on the news about people losing their property. Then they just build there again!

We live at, but not on, a lake. Our house is probably 100 ft higher than the full pool.
 
Morning old folk!!

Tale of two weekends. Saturday was a complete washout. Pissing down rain and cold. Not anchorage AK cold, but 41.

Yesterday couldn’t have been much nicer. Sunny, 64 (felt like summertime) and no wind.

Repaired our bridge on the upper part of our property, split firewood, then picked up miner from the lunbwrmill. He cut me red cedar posts.

Then home for some weeding and neighbors over for a bonfire and beer.

Now back to my day job… 🙁 it’s Monday….
