Old Skool Mammoth Nouveau: Ducks Vs. Dragons Vs. Bears


While I've been chilling with my Viet clan in Virginia, Miguelito filed his first contribution to The Food and Music Club from Mammoth Mountain, Calif. Humoring my current fascination with all things related to bears (and Bear Grylls), he stuck to the grizzly theme for his photos. He also expanded the food chain with some ducks and dragons. He said this duck and dragon serve as natural humidifiers.
A drawing in the snow by Miguelito and his buddy Matt. Miguelito did the guy while Matt did the girl. Miguelito thinks they like each other. I think their new love will melt the snow.

Miguelito said snow ghosts exist only at the chalet.

The slopes and peaks of Mammoth Mountain.

Miguelito said this ice cream is yummy and obnoxious. My question: "Is this an eraser or a cookie?"

Miguelito said that lucky for us Matt decided to go with a nose. I would have suggested a unicorn horn.

The menu at Petra's, where Miguelito had to get his fill of duck before the new year starts. My Viet peeps said it's bad luck to eat duck during the first month of the new year. They believe that because the duck's feathers are waterproof, good luck will roll off your back if you devour the gamey bird in the first month. That means that if you celebrate the Western new year on Jan. 1, as well as the lunar new year on Feb. 7, you won't be able to feast on duck until the Ides of March. Better get your duck on now.

Miguelito's duck tasted better than it looks, he said.

A very scary looking bear statue in the main village. I would not want this critter to fall on top of me. Its metal mouth could do some serious damage in a mauling.

While Hollywood film and television writers are on strike, Miguelito and Matt concocted a new Seventies-style cop buddy movie. It's called "Ruff Tuff and Outrageous."
