    Oh, you're on "thin ice" there, pal. Sports are pretty hard to fake, maybe the ref's and ump's are paid off, but not the players. They really try their hardest. The only exception, and you couldn't convince me otherwise, is when miraculously, every "series" goes to 7 games. Nobody ever sweeps the series in 4 games. The amount of money those 3 extra games would generate is too hard to pass up.

    The only real show was 'The Real World' on MTV.

    Unfortunately now MTV is a joke. Anyone remember when they actually played music videos?

    The TV show is engineered for those who don't know anything about trucking. There is a whole lot of details not talked about in the years they showed the episodes.

    I would do ok for a while. A couple months would be all it's good for anyhow. The ice is not the problem. It's the soft ground with bad shoulders I hate most. Lean it over and if you are in a wrong position it will try to kill you. Most of the land up there is soft if you sit too long with a big rig. Never mind that ice over the water, it will either make it or not. Life to me in the mid 50's is not something I would try to cherish and hold on to anyway. Ive had a good run.

    What really gets me is the mountain grades or steep hills where you essentially slide down without too much finesse. 18% sheer ice to a tiny bridge made of a flatcar a little wider than you are? HA.. let's go. We have fun today. Scared? Shake it off we're going.

    People like me do not get to the ice roads. We don't know what we are doing if we did get there and that could really be a problem. With that in mind, Wyoming is sufficient. It's a good enough for me.

    difficult to take pics in a mountain blizzard because of the danger, but all of montana was like this one time. It wasnt as slick as it looked as long as you kept tires in the roughed up part and not in the packed ruts.
