Mont Blanc

 I have no sympathy


You can say what you like about me being heartless, but when people do things they know are not only dangerous but life-threatening they deserve no tears to be shed.
The latest "accident" happened two days ago on Mont Blanc, a mother and son lost their lives skiing down the off-piste slopes.

While it is thrilling to ski down fresh snow, you need to realise the snow has no foundation, that is why it is called "off-piste" meaning out-of-bounds.
You must remember the stunt persons you see on the films are not racing an avalanche, they are racing against set timers to create an illusion. 
I doubt anyone could ski faster than an avalanche, they can reach 100 kph in a few seconds, while you may reach a top speed, the avalanche gains speed as it travels.
When the rescue team sees the landlside, they send a helicopter up, not on a rescue, but a body retrival team. Experts say you will live for a maximun of five minutes trapped in an avalnche, after that the pressure of the snow crushes your chest; your body heat id drained, and you go into hypothermia.

I am offended again

 The lady is NOT my type Though I am olde, and have standards, I am not a stic-in-the-mud, it does take someting nasty to offend me, and for the second time it has happened.  As with the first incident , the offense involved a young colored lady with larrge breasts, I have nothing againsr coloured ladies, I wasbot offended by this laady asking to see my penis as soon as we chatted, it was a little weird she was so forawrd when she'd only been chatting a few minutes to ask. What I found offensive, again, is she assumed having large reasts, and in her case an oversize bottom was what I like In short, she has nothing of interest for me..
