Drone Alert

     There were a few special gifts under the tree this year-TOYS!  It's only right, Christmas is for kids, no matter what their age.  So, the 3 little boys put their respective helicopter flyers into the air.  That's indoor air.   These palm sized copters are designed to fly indoors or out, but they fly best indoors.  Open, cathedral ceilings can accommodate quite a few copters at one time.  We have video!
     In no time, the yellow model is chasing the blue one, and the silver is chasing the red one.  Oh, the chaos.  Of course, there is a learning curve, and some are more fragile than others, and some pilots are more skilled than some others with the expected results- a few copters ended up in the shop after a few hours of limited service.   Many smiles, much laughter, and more than a few hours of collective regressing to the days of one's youth.   Such is Christmas.
        Gone are the everyday cares, gone are the trials and tribulations of routine living.   The holidays are here and we are taking advantage.

Ski Season is OPEN
     With a couple of fine weather days under the belts of resort owners, the pursed lips of concern are turning into smiles as skiers flock to the slopes to try out their new equipment, from boards, to skis, to snow shoes, to cross-country skis.  It's all there, as it should be.
     It will be a good holiday week.
