Summit Up 5-4-12: Where we be playin' Scrabble in a lime-green leisure suit ...
Well, we did for a while but then we quit, and we'll tell you why. For one thing, we wound up having like 37 different games going on at the same time, and it all because rather meaningless and chore-like. We started to whittle it down by refusing invitations to new games, but what really put us off about WWF was this: People — many of whom were good friends or family — were taking advantage of what some believe is a flaw in WWF, to wit: You can just keep plugging words in whether you have any idea if it's a real word or not, and the game lets you do it as often as you want until you hit pay dirt. And we're not talking about legit Scrabble weirdo-words like “qi” or “em” that any good player must know. We're talking words like “zona,” “gript” and “sestine” that not only had we never heard of, but that didn't even come up in our dictionary (and that was just in one game). Then we found ourselves retaliating with ridiculous
County snowplow drivers prepare for the season | River Falls ...
Whether anybody wants to admit it or not, the snow season is just around the corner.
In preparation for those nasty days when the roads must be cleared early and sometimes often, St. Croix County Highway Department truck drivers took part in a two-day program in Hammond designed as a refresher course on the perils of the road.
“It’s an annual safety refresher,” said Jim Van Den Elzen, who heads up the Crossroads Safety Management Group and brought the sophisticated technical equipment that makes up the simulator to Hammond.
Three large computer screens depict the road as viewed from the cab of the truck. A regulation seat and reproduction dashboard replicate the feeling of being in a real truck complete with engine noise and hydraulics but without the diesel fumes.
The view on the computer screens gives every impression of snow-covered roads, rural and urban, with all the hazards such as a deer bounding across in front of the plow or a stalled car on the side of the road.
Van Den Elzen sets up the situation from a computer set well back of the action while an assistant guides the driver through the basics.
“Each session goes for about 10 to 12 minutes,” said Van Den Elzen, who has operated the program since 2007. He said the rule of thumb from truck driving firms who use a similar system is that one hour of simulation equals four hours of driving.
The low carbon footprint is another advantage of the simulator. “No gas is used,” he said.
Tim Ramberg, county highway commissioner, said last week’s sessions were the first time the department has used a simulator.
“Having them here saves travel and gas,” he said.
Ramberg said 69 drivers were scheduled for sessions over the two days including some drivers from municipalities and law enforcement departments.
“The simulator can be used for police car and ambulance training,” said Van Den Elzen.
Veteran driver Brian Hurtgen tried his hand at a session on the simulator.
