The Sierras are being hit extremely hard with whiteout conditions. We’re below the snow line, thank goodness. There was an avalanche, and 9 skiers are missing. My question is, why would they even go out in such conditions, they knew the forecast????
Hopefully they can be rescued.
Update: no, sadly, 8 were found dead, and they can’t find the other one. So Sad.:(
Today there is a break in the weather, but it’s back tomorrow, so I’m going down to Roseville to the gym and dropping off some books at the library. I also plan on stopping at the Goodwill near the library and dropping off the canning jars and a few bags.
I also want to try to find the shoe repair store I looked up. The strap on my vintage LV marly bandouliere broke. I’m not sure they can fix it, but I know LV will repair things. I didn’t pay a whole lot for this bag, so I wouldn’t want to pay LV prices.
After that, I might pop in to costco for a few more sale items. Laundry soap is on a coupon, and Zyrtec. I’ll have to see how my energy level is.
Other than that, not much. I finished the newest Reacher book, and it was good, predictable, but good. So I don’t have a new book to read.

The freeway was closed going toward Reno this morning. Trucks were lined up along the freeway but it was an easy ride to Roseville because of no traffic.
I went to the gym, library, and found the shoe repair place too. I dropped off the Louis, so it’ll be a few weeks. All in all, a good morning.
The avalanche news was terrible but they did find 6 skiers alive I believe before finding those who didn’t survive. Hope the shoe repair shop was able to fix what you wanted.
Very sad. And the thing is, these were experienced backcountry skiers. They should have known better with this storm that came in. Yes, I dropped it off, and he said about a month. Now it won’t be LV repair, but that’s ok. I didn’t buy this from LV, it’s a 1990 bag.
Sometimes experience can imbue us with a dangerous confidence. I don’t know if that’s what happened but it’s so very sad all the same.
