On tonight's episode of "Undercover Boss" on
CBS, president and CEO Andy Wirth gets a makeover and goes undercover to
Lake Tahoe, Calif. The Squaw Valley mountain is famous for hosting the
1960 Winter Olympics and the epicenter of big mountain skiing. Alpine
Meadows offers a family-friendly atmosphere with excellent snow sports
for the entire family. The founder of the empire was Conrad Wirth,
Andy's grandfather, who was the Director of the National Parks Services
for eleven years. When Andy took over, he purchased Alpine Meadows to
give the two resorts a more family-friendly atmosphere, where Squaw
Valley mainly catered to the expert skiers.
The place was peopled by extras from "Hells
Angels on Wheels" and every bad prison movie ever made. This woman kept
bumping into me. She was medium height, slender, had long brown hair and
three teeth. Her face looked a little like it had caught fire and some
caring person had tried to put it out with an ax. Every time we collided
I apologized nervously and she walked away. From behind she could have
been Miss America. I swear.

Of course, a little known fact about comedian Jay Leno is
that he has made NBC nearly one billion dollars richer since he took
over Johnny Carson's chair. Job
4 is lift maintenance in Squaw Valley. Charles is the instructor who
will give David a run for his money. They will be testing and running
the lifts to ensure safety of all skiers. Charles is engaged and hopes
to go to Europe to ski on his honeymoon. David looks familiar to Charles
with his Joe Dirt hair and glasses. Charles keeps looking at David and
tells a fellow employee that he believes that David is Andy Wirth. With
his cover blown, Andy finds out that Charles and his crew are under
appreciated. They must be there without lunch or breaks to keep the
equipment running and cannot rest until it is operating safely.
My mother and father enjoyed much of their leisure time with
drive in movies, watching TV shows such as MASH, All in the Family,
Dukes of Hazard, and Andy Griffith. They enjoyed the music of Merle
Haggard, Freddy Hart and Conway Twitty. Lastly, they enjoyed fast cars
as well as many people did in the seventies. Drag racing was a fun event
for both my mother and my father. In the seventies my father owned a
1972 Ford Galaxy 500, 1970 Road Runner, 1973 Ranchero, and a 1976
buy truck topper. The cost of a new
vehicle was around $6000. Over all, the most rememberable event for my
mother in the seventies was in 1977 when Elvis Presley died. It may be a word, a symbol or a motto but having a message can
do more to keep attorneys on the same page than almost anything else.
Decide what your message and is and stick to it, whether it be stamping
your symbol on letters and emails or boldly displaying your firm mantra
on the company website. Repetition will help attorneys stay on message
and clients recognize your presence. When driving at high speeds, make sure that your windows are
closed to avoid aerodynamic drag. At low speeds, you can put off the AC
system and open the windows instead to save fuel. Likewise, it is
important to check that all AC system parts especially the Ford AC
condenser is at perfect working condition. However, if you would like to get more out of the auto
museum, you may also want to purchase the Auburn Inn overnight package
which is for $129.99 but this would be good for two people already.
