Skiing the golf course

One of the nice things about the Internet age is the ability to keep tabs on things elsewhere. The Midland Daily News online is such a resource, and I'm never sure what I'm going to find on it. That Dow is preparing to manufacture solar shingles and (presumably) high-capacity batteries is a Good Thing, if the economics are there. I'd even hope they were there for my house, but nestled in a forest of 150' to 200' cedars in our more northern latitude with mild, damp climate it's not likely; in just the first year or two moss would take over everything. (Hmmm... are those shingles chemically resistant to moss-kill?)

But today I saw a column on skiing the golf course. St. Andrew's, I presume? What a great idea! It was sledding/tobogganing/saucer heaven when I was a boy. Of course they had the only slopes around, and one of the challenges was to try to get to the river -- and not go in if you did! (At least once I had to bail off the sled at the last minute.)

Not sure what "skating skis" are, but we have a couple of pair of telemarking skis. Unfortunately they are little used due to a physical condition that came on soon after purchase, plus lack of time, plus we rarely have snow conditions (of any sort) less than a significant drive away... but maybe... sometime...
