It really does snow here at Lake Tahoe!

It really does snow up here at the Lake! This week brought us about 2 feet of the white fluffy stuff. I fortunately had off on Thursday, the day that it stromed so I was able to get lots of freshies. The day did not start off like I had hoped though. First chair was what I was shooting for. A little snag up on the pass kept me from getting there sooner. The roads did not seem all that bad, but when I was coming down brockway summit, cars everywhere were sliding out of control. You would think that me driving an AWD Subaru would keep me on course, but I guess on ice, no one is safe. My car started sliding and luckily there was no one coming up the pass. My car slid into the other lane and I could not control it. The car next to me was sliding, the car in front of us was sliding. Up about 70' or so there was a Black BMW X5 sitting in the wrong lane up against the guard rail. I knew if I couldn't stop, I was going to hit her. Sure enough, I kept on sliding right into her back bumper. I really only tapped her leaving a scuff on her bumper. The BMW sits pretty high so my drivers side blinker got smashed to pieces and it also dented the fender a bit. Not too bad, but bad enough that there was damage. As I was talking to the lady and getting her insurance info, another Subaru slid right into her front bumper. We all sat there for about another twenty minutes waiting for a plow truck to come by and drop gravel. The rest of the way down to Northstar was slow going because everyone was affraid of sliding. The damage sucked, but the riding that was had during the day was the best we have had all year! As of right now, the weather report is that it there will be snow and snow showers starting Saturday afternoon all the way through Wed. Snowboarding will be great again next week and hopefully the snow will hjust keep piling up through March.

Why does it always have to be about God?

I consider myself independent in my political beliefs, voted for Kerry in the last election because I wanted president Bush out of office. When I was a kid I remembered Ronald Regan becoming president, watched it in my Wednesday night religion class that I was told to go to. Did I care, not really, I was to young to care. As for God, I believed and still do in a higher power, but I never made it through and consider myself spiritual but not very religious. That is my beliefs and I do not think anyone is wrong in their beliefs as long as it is not harming others. The things that I remember most from those religion classes that I attended, was that God loves you and that you should be treating others kindly and not harm them.
How many different religions are there in this world? Hell if I know, but it is a lot. They all have different beliefs in God. What makes your God different then hers or his God? I may be wrong, but I would have to say that in most of them, their God loves them too. Not all of them tell you to treat others kindly, but most do.
Another thing that I remember being taught at an early age, is that there is supposed to be a separation between Church and State. This is terribly good and especially important in this melting pot of a country where there is a large number of different views and beliefs about religion.
With the elections coming up, yeah in what over a year and a half, I wanted to check out whats going on when I heard that Rudi Giuliani was going to run for president. An article I just read is what prompted me to write this, it started out with this.

(02-11) 04:00 PST Sacramento -- Former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, arguing that America is in desperate need of a Ronald Reagan-style optimistic vision, told California Republicans on Saturday that he wants to be a president who will "win the world for a set of ideas ... that I believe come from God."

Which God? Your God? His God? Do they have the same beliefs? Probably not the same as mine because mine does not believe in killing others. Why does it always have to be about God? Oh my God.....
