About Jerry & This Blog
“I KNOW IT’S TRUE, EVEN IF IT DIDN’T HAPPEN” Samuel Clemens
In his youth, Jerry left home in his old man’s pickup on a long road trip “in search of the American Dream.” It was the beginning of a new life (post-Beat/pre-hippie) but, more accurately, he drove head-on into the counterculture and had a pretty smooth ride all the way in.
After some digging we’ve found that Jerry has been in the snow/avalanche/guiding business for 40 yrs. and after “worrying for a living” forecasting and mitigating avalanches on Red Mountain Pass, Colorado and in the Chilean Andes, it was time for him to wander a different trail. Jonathan Thompson, editor at High Country News while accompanying Mr. Roberts on an avalanche control mission referred to him as a Zen Redneck. We’re not sure what that means so you would have to ask Mr. Thompson.
Lisa, his roomie, put this blog (journal is more friendly) together as a gift. Now Mr. Roberts can “Shout About It” whenever he wants, but we were assured there would be no pontificating, but maybe occasional bullshitting…
He told us only posts that are interesting or quirky or offbeat will appear and if he fails, he expects to feel the crack of the zen stick. Please……you be the judge.
A buddhist’s two greatest sins…. Picking wildflowers and self-rightousness.

Jerry and Lisa ,
Great job on the techno setup, Lisa! I’ll look forward to catching the occasional ravings, er, uh, insights, rather.
Especially knowing they’ll be delivered with a twist that is both entertaining and thought provoking. Looking forward to shots of cleverness which I expect will flare up now and again on your blog, Jerry …
Have fun with it,
John

Oh My ! Lisa what have you done? I am sure if this was available earlier it would have led to some sort of prison term. Good luck and if the Tea Bagger candidate is elected in Colorado I hope this is untraceable. In your pisco picture who is sneaking in the door in the shadows?

Looks good, now you can pontificate and set the world straight, but great to see your newest project.
