    Wasn't very much up there when I went over last week.

    Communist state man. Wet fart and close the highway.

    But you know some potheads will try and go over the hill in their old Toyota and 4 dogs and crash.

    Went over and back yesterday it was fine. It will be the last time till the snow melts that I do a Sunday run over it. All the #### skiers trying to get back down 5 hours from Reno to Auburn.

    Closing roads is only going to get worse. States are going to be quicker about doing that and at the slightest chance of problems. The costs related to damages, clean-up, as well as the legal costs.

    There were a bunch on Saturday coming down 70 into Denver as well. But the weather was clear.

    But the communist state is just extra special.

    I think if any of The Donner Party were still around, they'd agree.

    How about we up the criteria for a license to operate a motor vehicle instead. Or have the DPS focus more on the insects.

    Don't know if you guys know. That run from Reno to Auburn. That is the Mother of All Ultra Marathons. It's the first. 100 miles. Kinda parallel to the freeway.

    Kinda sad with me. I used to run for my health. Did two marathons in my life. Then did a baby Ultra. Only 32 miles. Did that Ultra in rehabilitating from almost dying from Diabetes. Retrained my endocrine system. Then employment here was so bad. Couldn't come up with time or rest to run. Then I had that fall on ice when working. Right now have difficulty walking very far.
