    Is that not Robert Mercer's company?

    Or just associated with his name?

    Mercer is a funder.

    And you didn't even have to take the survey to get your fb data scraped -- if your friend took it, you're in CA's database.

    Thats pretty damn devious. Russian/American wrote the program. I surprised this has not blown up. So if you have a friend responding to those silly things it knows you and your tendencies. That's fairly illegal. But smart. I don't know exactly how I would have been classified. Clinton was a hold-my-nose default vote. Definitely did not express enough white pride... Didn't matter for a Texas survey though.

    It's bull because he wants to project unfailing competence and omnipotence regarding social media. Just admit happened you didn't intend and do something about it. It's going to happen again.

    I get fishing lure ads and Ski stuff... Those surveys tell you they retain the right to use your info, but not your friends... It's quite smart, but illegal.

    Well that's just kind of regular cookie activity -- can be a little jarring sometimes but it's nothing like the CA stuff.

    Holy ...

    That place is fantastic!
    The food in the city down in the valley, not Mount Crested Butte, just Crested Butte, is fantastic. I love that place. You sold well, that place is sooo expensive. That's the place these "kids" asked me where they get heroin on the Paradise lift when they heard me and a friend talking about bio molecules and nervous system stuff. "Don't know and No"

    Too bad about your knees, but you had to have had a great 10 years. Damn...

    Aw . Had a great run skiing. Was storming Taos before getting the condo at Crested Butte. Summer was just as much fun as winter with fly fishing and 4 wheeling in the mountains. Skiing has really changed with the shorter fatter skis today. I was running 220s on double diamonds back then. You just turned in the air.

    I only go twice a year. Never ever going on double Diamonds. I was always asking about the fishing. I tried fly fishing in Buena Vista with a guide but was not very good. I just love all the walking and hiking and just looking for fish, if I had grown up in those colder streams I would have it down. I really just do our coast the best in a kayak.

    Man. 10 years... Of skiing and fishing in that wonderful place... You should be very happy.

    Oh the smell is in the air. Even though that place is family friendly, it's also ski bum friendly. I have a friend who used to help plan weddings there, lived there. She would complain about not finding the right type of guy. I would say, go figure... and... meet one of those guys that owns a home or condo, they gotta work some.

    Below the Taylor reservoir was some of the most frustrating and,challenging fly fishing for big trout I have ever done. Using freaking #28 shrimp nymphs and trying to get those 3' long rainbows to bite in that crystal clear water was maddening.

    I probably could not get the spring hungry fish to even take a look I'm so bad at presentation. I have good eyes and could barely see those small nymph fly thingies I was told to try. I don't have the dexterity for that level of fiddling. Did your wear magnifying glasses or what... Those tippets tapering like that was a shocking realization for me. I never knew all that stuff. I broke more than a few lines with that tapering down to hair thin.
