Bill De Witt’s Photos - Mammoth Dec 2005

Friday, December 30th, 2005

It’s a cold, rainy wet winter day up on the hill right now. Even cloudy. In memory of a few days ago’s sunshine, I give you some nice photos to look at. The Annoying Cousin Elizabeth and was skiing with me, and that’s why she’s in most of the photos.

Raining in Mammoth

Tuesday, December 27th, 2005

This is just wrong…. It’s December, and it’s raining in Mammoth. 40 degrees outside, here at the house. We’re at 8250 feet, and the some of the ski lifts are at this level. Not the greatest time to be up on the mountain.

Yesterday, the wind was blowing nice and hard in Mammoth. The weather report said gusts of up to 80 mph. Then last night, late it started to snow. We have a few inches across the front porch. After I get warmed up, and dressed for the weather, I’ll take a photo or two.

Updates….

Sunday, December 4th, 2005

I’ve not written much in detail the past few weeks. A few reasons for that. I’ve been working pretty hard at RSI, taking care of samples and training my replacement. That’s right, replacement. I turned in my notice at the beginning of last month, and I will be taking care of a variety of family [...]
