DRIVING


There are some blogs about driving, and most of them relate to the car accidents. The last week was crazy for driving. It was 200 car accsidents just on mondey in Calgary (blame drivers who moved from Vancouver). However on this picture is US driver from Texas, who left his car with turned on engine and gone home by bus. I have no idea how the driver did that, I just can say that the electrical line in texas very strong, this car is hanging. I know some incredible stories about driving. One of my classmates in the russian university told me the story about his friend. His is studing at the same university, that guy is reach and almost mentaly retarded. His father, who is provincial cheff police, gifted him a hummer H1 (real huge car), 3 weeks later that guy lost his rear wheels somewhere in the grasslands near by the city. How stupid a person should be to crush a Hummer in 3 weeks (the same cars are used by US millitary). Another incredible story about two shamans in Africa. They did something and the African (I don't remember which country) government presented for each one a brand new BMW x5. The first shaman crashed his car in 3 days. In spite of the fact in this country few telephone pillors he hit one of them. The another shaman crashed his BMW at the single tree in the middle of a desert. Moreover, two weeks later the government presented two the same cars for each other. So if you a shaman in Africa and you crash one car than the government will give you two the same cars.... not bad!

SNOWBOARDING!


On last weekend I spent all day at the Lake Louise. I was so much fun! I have been snowboarding all day. The weather was warm and nice, and in the end of a day it became warmer. It was not so crowded as it usually is. It was my first time this winter, it took about 5 minuts to remember how to snowboarding. At my first launch I twisted my knee a little bit, but it was not serious and countinue to boarding. I have seen a lot of people from Germany, they were reporters and they did some show about skiing at Lake Louise. Many people say that the Lake Louise is a place number one for skiing and snowboarding at the world. Like at the last year Alik Boldwin and Holly Barry visited Lake Louise. Many people came to the Lake Louise that time, but I was smarter I did go to Nakiska and it was not crowded at all. However, snowboarding is very fun! For example in the morning you are above some clouds and it sunny, after you are skated down it again cloudy. There are about 109 different tracs. And you can take a different one every time. The amasing thing that little kids about 5 years old are skiing and snowboarding at the same track as adults and some times they do much better then adults. Moreover, my friends and I usually go off the racks to the forest, it is so fun to boarding through trees. One of my friends said that it is stupid to boarding bettween trees and he never did go with us.

IT'S FUN TO TELL

Hi every one!
To day is so cold and wery wery icy. In the morning I walked out of the door straight and I started slide down the back alley. It was so icy that I could not stop and walk back to my house. It was fun. And this reminded me about one situation that happen to me about 2 or 3 mounths ago. My friends and I decided to go to the ... Somewhere to have fun. I was working that evening near by one of my friends house. He always late for 30 40 minutes, so I decided to pick him up. It was snow fall on that day and roads in comutyties very icy. It was the road that I drove many times, I made the left turn in intersection and I have been movind up to hill. Just right I made the turn my car slowed down and started to slide down the hill. I almost had a hurt attack. The drivers on the same itersection were shocked, it was only the way out the comunity. Luckly I stopped the on that hill, but I couldn't to go forward. My friend said (after all the F words) "OK I WILL PUSH YOU" And I did not tell him the small problem that it will be hard to push 1730 kg car up to the hill. Then he opened the door, stepped out of the car, he slipped, folldown on his back, and slided down the hill far then the car. And he could not stend up for 7 times because of ice. All the comunity laughed on this situation, I did know what to do. Then Ijust pulled back got some speed and passed that icy hill.
