[Sportsandrec] Discovery Blind Sports

[Roger Acuna]

Yah, your right, it does come with the terratory, and thats why I avoid it. 
I am not, and have never been a snow dude.  I only like playing in it for 
about a day.   I'd much rather bbe in the water either Rafting or booggy 
boarding or just plain swimming around.
