I’m going to finally figure out if it’s really “the greatest snow on Earth.” Of course, it doesn’t have much competition.

You know, I’ve never lived in a place where they have avalanche warnings. I’m slightly disturbed by this. But no matter, because I’m almost famous. (And always awesome.)

Oh, by the way, I’m guessing that when you live in a valley the avalanche really doesn’t affect you, right? Being quite Iowan it’s hard for me to say this really confidently. How am I supposed to know? Sure, the mountain is sort of far away, but not that far…Oh well. I’ve seen MacGyver get out of an avalanche. No worries.

  1. Congrats on the research award! Pity the quotes were so bland…the article really doesn’t reflect your vivaciousness. (And be sure to keep a piece of chewing gum and a collapsible screwdriver in your pocket…MacGyver did and look where it got him.)

  2. That’s sweet. You’re academically superior now, apparently. I guess I’ll add you (again) to the list of my friends who achieve great things and get awards for things I didn’t even know there were awards for. And I love the MacGyver avalanche episode. If you don’t know which way is up, all you have to do is spit, and whichever way it falls, dig in the opposite direction. but only dig a small hole, or you’ll suffocate again. (Probably living in the valley does exempt you from fears, but I’m an Iowan too). Just don’t go skiing.
