The fact that I'm being attacked for that speaks volumes about the face-less provincial, petty a-holes the frequent this forum. in what way is Hubb's post an attack on you? he is simply offering a counter-argument to your original post pre-edit. and what exactly did he say in his post to prompt you to call him a petty a-hole? yeah, your post was out of line. i fully expect a reply to my post calling me a petty a-hole for calling you out. but whatever.

The fact that I'm being attacked for that speaks volumes about the face-less provincial, petty a-holes the frequent this forum. Besides, I've recently looked that up and there has been an rise in celebrity deaths in the last 2 years. anyway. It's just that the headlines of lot of pages/articles out on the general web are confusing the hell out of the subject matter. Can in point, MIT did a steady.. There title says 2016 did not show an increase, but summarize their findings as: "... But when they looked at the mega-famous — the group that made it into an article in 70 languages of Wikipedia — there were 16 deaths, substantially higher than in recent years. So that answers that. Nobody is allowed to die in 2017. Let’s all work our hardest on that one...." If anything that adds to the sentiment that '...now is not the time to lose these figures' - the whole point. Good stuff indeed. Jeez John.. sensitive much? Not sure how that was an attack on you at all. A few points... 1) I have met you face to face before, so I am not sure how I am faceless. 2) Thank you for calling me (on appearance) an a-hole and petty and provincial 3) The number of deaths thing I mentioned was based on several articles I had read toward the end of 2016 / early 2017 Here is an example from the BBC http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-38329740 The key line that I would break out is this... "He thinks that the increase isn't particularly surprising, because we're now half a century on from the flourishing of both TV and pop culture in the 1960s, which massively expanded the overall pool of public figures. " , which was the point I was making. We have more people we are calling celebs. I had not read your MIT study and have no issues with it. I really think that on this matter, you seem to be the one who is being rather petty. Once again, you claim an intellectual superiority on all subjects, and broad brush a large number of people on this forum in an attack. You have done this countless times and yet you accuse others of misbehaving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eekuasepinniW Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Some guy went skimming down the entire length of the Weirs channel on a snowmobile while towing a water skier. I saw his first pass without the skier, but didn't get out of my chair for his second. This used to be a really common activity until it was made illegal. Fish and game are going after them.

SJonesWX Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 agree with dendrite. after the 4 deaths earlier this month on the lakes, F&G is on high alert and very sensitive to this type of illegal activity. I am sure it is fun for the participants, but the first responders who might have to fish a dead body out of the lake probably feel differently.

I would not want to fall on the ice, or in the 32degree water for that matter. There are tons of skimming videos out there. People do this with sleds quite a bit.

Nearest ski area is more than 50 miles from there. A co-worker said the X-C skiing was great this past Saturday; he was using central Maine snomo trails, and the sleds had left a well-groomed surface with enough "bite" to allow hill climbs without needing to herringbone.
