That climb freakin' rocked. Kudos to you guys on the ski's and snowboards.... whoa!

whup! scratch that, newmatic vs straps.... my bad.

Whoa...so you are saying that trask is really that "visions of a cheesburger" guy!??! The Cheeseburger man always seems to have a glazed over look a lot. I like the "I'm living in a tent with 3 children" lady more, she's nicer.

A new perspective on the war, kind of interesting: Because We Could If you can sort through all the crap the NYT makes you go through to read their paper.
