our favorite pass-time going up the lift at treble cone was to bring up a load of snowballs and hurl them at the keas. except Gimpy and Beaky, they were awesome. the two of em hung out all the time together, we recognized them as gimpy only had one leg and Beaky's beak was all ****ed up.

Treble Cone hey! I went up there to ski and it was a white out. Had to head back to Queenstown and drink instead. I went up a club field called Cheeseman and they handed out nets to all the bus's that came up because of the Kea's. The members had their own nets. They where not stupid. Gee I miss skiing. I have not been in over 10 years. The laid back attitude in NZ was always the best even if there was no on field accommodation but the pubs and the ladies sure made up for that. And I miss the Kea's. They rule their own world and know it. |

I'd like to complain that my own future looks rather bleak: two more years sitting at a desk studying to prepare for thirty-five of sitting at a desk and working. Awesome.
