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.
Not only were the fads up in the air in the seventies, so were
the headline news. In 1971, the 26th Amendment was passed allowing a
U.S. citizen to be able to vote at age 18. In 1974, President Nixon
resigned from office as the Watergate scandal unfolds. In 1975,
President Ford announces war in Vietnam was finished as far as the U.S.
was concerned. And Space became the "New Frontier". In 1972, Pioneer 10
lifted off to journey past Jupiter. In 1973, Skylab was launched by
NASA. And in 1976, the Viking I landed on Mars. Boy, times were changing
fast, just as Bob Dylan had predicted.

LaBeouf was not to
blame for the accident, which occurred when another driver allegedly ran
a red light. A few hours after the crash, LaBeouf underwent a four-hour,
early-morning surgical procedure on his left hand. A few weeks later --
against the advice of at least one doctor, LaBeouf says he returned to
the Transformers set with a specially designed prosthetic bandage that
had to be rewritten into the plot line. Additional surgery was postponed
till after the film wrapped. The dark
figure standing, staring by the street, is noticed by the two men in the
front seat of the truck, they stare but keep going, --trees blowing to
his right and left, the waves of the Great Lake of Superior, makes a
humming sound, and everything else, as if you were in the middle of a
hurricane, the stranger stands erect yet, never moving. He sees the eyes
of the passenger in the Ford-truck, a small figure, a man of about
forty, the driver calls him Skip, and he hears that. The taller man at
the wheel, his arms are solid, and frozen to the wheel, is called Amery,
for some reason you know he knows that.

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 PC is
no longer the only way of accessing the Internet. We now have PDA's and
cellphones that can access the Internet, and send and receive e-mail. By
this time next year, as more people learn the use and benefit of these
devises; anything needed to maintain and restore these Classic Car
investments can be obtained while driving down the road.
