Nope that is absolutely correct and a major thing you should do when observing an avalanche. You often float on top of an avalanche until it slows down so you can get a really good idea of where the burial is and that’s a good starting point for a search (you still search the whole area in case there are multiple burials). For me personally, it’s much better to have my eyes on an event, than looking at it through the screen of my phone I’m recording on

Having extensive avy training and being involved in some skier trigger slides, I can give you an honest answer. Far more important than getting good footage is immediately assess for secondary avalanches and determine if you are in a safe zone. Then you want to prepare to switch your own beacon to search mode and initiate a search - but you don’t want to switch if you are at risk of being hit by a secondary avalanche. You want to assess how you are going to safely get to the runout to initiate a search, without avalanching anyone else down there before you. Basically, there are a lot more important things to do than catch good footage when you are near a slide like this. Of course from a curiosity standpoint and an educational standpoint, I also want good footage, but I understand why the cameraman had other things on their mind.

I’m biased because I’m a big fan of Andrew and his shop, but his beans are seriously incredibly good.

Well Cannon is state owned and the profits go to the state of NH, so no.

I’ve asked the owner about it. I believe for the croissants, the dough is flown in from France every single morning and they bake them in house. Some of the other pastries are flown in daily finished straight from France. They are amazing and the best croissants I’ve ever had, but they come with a ridiculous carbon footprint.

Ok I recommend it then! It’s a pretty nice train by amtrack standards. It is very consistently on time as long as there isn’t stormy weather.

Taking the T from north station to Logan will be more of an issue. I’d leave plenty of time for that. Will you have a lot of luggage? Are you comfortable navigating the subway? What day and what time of day? If the T is a disaster you could Uber.

This. Unless they just really want to ride the train for fun, they C&J is an order of magnitude more convenient and I believe cheaper.

Lol right? I’m a scientist and I work with a bunch of engineers, MDs and Lawyers. All of the directors and VPs I know are delivering for door dash on the weekend as a side hustle!

I do this commute and that’s what I experienced this morning! My commute was twice as long as a typical Friday commute. More on par with an average to goodish mid week commute.

Woburn to Sullivan Square normally takes me 20-25 minutes on a Friday. Today it took me just over 40 minutes leaving at 8:40am. I was specifically surprised that there was way more traffic today that a typical Friday.

Nope, I am going to stay and be a snowflake. And I love how upset you are about that!

Nah, I’m going to stay. If you knew how to read, you’d see that I thought it was funny. I was just implying that I’m sure other “helicopter citizens” are going to say something. But again, you don’t know how to read so I’m sure this comment too will go over your head.

My neighbor has a bloody dead baby coming out of a bag in their yard. It’s certainly a choice. I thought it was funny because I like disturbing humor, but I am pretty mad about it for people who’ve lost a baby who are going to walk by it. Also my 6 year old was pretty disturbed by it.

I don’t know. I just don’t think I should expose other people to my morbid humor unwillingly so I wouldn’t put something out like that.
