Re: Shale Oil/Gas Drilling Video

How about some technology that plugs up that oil leak in the gulf? +1. So much technology and they can't figure out how to stop the Golf of Texaco oil leak. Stop raping mother earth! Reading up a bit on it, it seems the actual leak is some 5000 FEET below the surface. They need a Rogman vessel to g...

Re: Tuesday - 12/08/09

Son and I drove up from Pa. for first turns of the year. Was just as SS reported. At one point, fog on FIS was thick as peanut butter. But, regardless, was a great first day.

I liked snow gods a lot, but wasnt as big a fan of Wunderland - too much park action for my liking.
