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.
If you are one of those
hard-working people who like to drive in style in their trucks, then
here is one just for you. Previously the GMC Sierra Denali was only
available as a luxury light duty pick-up. That has now changed with the
Heavy Duty line slated for 2011. It features a four-bar chrome
perforated grille and ride on an all new chassis. There will be chrome
accents on the doors and door handles. Inside will have a Bose audio
system, power-adjustable pedals, 12-way power seats and brushed aluminum
trim. This is the first time the luxurious Denali trim will be offered
on one of GMC's toughest trucks.

Probably about
80-something percent. I'll be able to make a fist again. There's a
knuckle I'll never be able to move again, but that's probably the only
permanent damage, other than the scarring. As my eyeballs came back into focus, I watched him unfold the
same pocket knife and as he bent to retrieve another chile from the
plant, I prayed it wasn't for me. Realizing it wasn't I thanked the
great capsicum god in the Hatch volcano and considered crying.
Once there, Teddie stashed his bike in the storage shed
and they mounted the front steps of their new apartment together. She
fumbled in her pocket for the key, her hands shaking, some part of her
expecting to see the man in his big
buy truck bed liner pull up
at any minute. He doesn't even know you're gone, she thought, and
finally found the key. If you've made it this far, you're a few steps away from
$3,500 or $4,500 and a new, more environmentally-friendly car. No need
to register-the official website explains all you need to do is head to
a local car dealer. The national program runs off a $1 billion fund.
Once the money runs out or we hit the month of November, you're on your
own. I resumed my
mission and approached the Shadow Bar. Shadow Bar is an unusual name
that had nothing to do with the building itself. The walls were bright,
white stucco with the front of the one-story building evenly divided by
a massive black door with a small glass window centered about five feet
up from the sidewalk. The few windows in the building were covered with
shades and draperies that allowed no glimpse of what was happening
inside. The situation might sound like a win-win but some
people say "Cash for Clunkers" is a speed bump, slowing customers who
might want a used car. Used car dealers at Naff Auto Sales told WSLS the
program could force people into buying a new car. Another possible
problem, Clunkers traded in with the program have to be destroyed,
meaning they won't end up for sale on a used car lot. Better for the
environment, bad for used car business. But many say it's a trade we
need to make. Many don't want to put the brakes on the program. In an
interview with WSLS, the president of Berglund Automotive said close to
40 people have taken advantage of the government program so far. They
say "Cash for Clunkers" is giving customers the kick they need to get a
new car.
