by Alan C Bain

If you stay in or close to Washington State and like to ski or snowboard you could visit Crystal Mountain. It has an elevation of just over seven thousand feet and a drop of over three thousand feet. Crystal Mountain actually sits below Mount Rainier, which has an elevation of over 14 thousand feet. Mostly between the winter months of November and April it is normal for 7 feet of snow to fall on Crystal Mountain.

Texting and Driving

by Josh McDowell

On December 1st, 2009 Colorado Govenor Ritter signed into law a bill criminalizing text messaging while driving. The new law will make texting and driving a Class A driving infraction.

See the Denver Post Article below:

http://www.denverpost.com/ci_12498806 The new law, which will be Colorado State Statute 42-4-239, prohibits use of cellphones for drivers under 18 years of age, and texting for any drivers. The texting language is below: A person eighteen years of age or older shall not use a wireless telephone for the purpose of engaging in text messaging or other similar forms of manual data entry or transmission while operating a motor vehicle.
