Timmy and the Galilean moons

On January 7th, neophyte groomer Timmy ventured forth onto the Alturas Lake ski trails for the first time without the watchful accompaniment of grooming master Davinius. He had been instructed to not only lay down some first class corduroy, but also while doing so, to contemplate the significance of Galileo Galilei’s discovery of the four largest moons of Jupiter on that same date in the year 1610. Galileo’s discovery dealt a serious blow to the then accepted geocentric view that the earth was the center of the universe with everything orbiting around it. A good groomer must question the similar egocentric view that everything revolves around his own personal ego and learn to serve the greater public good. Skiers reported the resulting skating lanes on the Trail to the Lake to be most excellent and the new classic tracks on Over the Hill, Wapiti, and along the Creekside Trail to be particularly groovy.
