Manufactured Crisis. (yea, that name would fit any number of chiseled and drilled "test pieces") White Man's burden (read the poem) got another?

Edie Brickell did a cover of the Steely Dan tune Showbiz Kids: Does not suck. Pat Boone covering Deep Purple and Ozzy Osbourne does suck. A lot.

the White Man's Burden is heavy. Fuck it. It's -3 outside, I'm going riding.

You might have a touch of arthritis. Personally, I'd try to a couple supplements to see if that'd help: Fish oil and glucosamine. That stuff --particularly the oil-- alleviates my arthritic symptoms. Try it for a month. It can't hurt.

okay.

Ever hear the story about the little prick who cried wolf? Losing a job and being unemployed isn't funny. And making light of it sucks ass.

with all those moons, must be on Jupiter

Sounds like just a tweak. should dissipate in a few days. ounce of prevention=pound of cure All the pulling down of climbing can pull the arm down in the socket. I've found that lifting weights to work muscles all around the joint really helps prevent problems. Military press, forward and reverse fly, standing fly, etc..

Santee approach time=30seconds. Every other bouldering spot in the county will be much longer except for Mt. Woodson. Woodson is also sweet, but better for a full afternoon, or day. Plus, it's really an area of short routes rather than boulder problems. That is, they're high.

The lady takes the prize! It is indeed Mia. what'd I win? a mongo bra?

Winter ain't over. A little shift in the jetstream could chill out the west coast fast.

The town of Santee has some excellent boulders. It's right across the street from the new high school were some kid freaked and capped some classmates. The edges will peel your tips. And some highballs there are damn high. I used to go there often when I lived in SD. But then I only lived a few miles from the rock.

The Gore-Tex won't break down, but you might screw the waterproof coating on the nylon. Nylon is hydrophilic, and once the coating gets washed away (or funked up with body oils, dirt, etc.), you get wet. I don't think you need to use soap any more special than liquid detergent (though I've used powdered). Then throw your stuff in the dryer, and monitor is closely. The heat sorta reactivates the waterproof coating. Even a quick ironing can help.

Jim, I reject semantics, and say you're full of shit.

Jim, I read your earlier comments as saying that Powell was lieing through his teeth. Now you're squirming another direction. I think Powell is the best Cabinet member we've had in a long time, and I'm glad that he still serves his country.

You shouldn't paint others with your own lack of morality.

Is that why pornstars shave their nutsack?

you're off-base. way. why would Powell lie and jepardize any future political career? dude is straight up, IMO

It's so easy to see what this thread will lead to.

like Swiss love?

In a utopian society, we would have no crack whores, broken families or poverty. But we don't and as such, there are people who go hungry. It's a damn crying shame, but even if we do drop everything else we're doing to ensure that everyone gets bread, there are still going to be problems. We can't just ignore one thing to focus on the other. What we have is a dam with a million holes in it. Every hole requires attention, or the dam breaks. But you know what? I'm glad you're concerned for the kids. Good on you. Just try to come up with a solution that doesn't involve gutting a different program. dog, there's a history at NASA of being something other than a spendthrift. I threw out the comparison to illustrate how relatively absurd it is to police state lunch programs when funds are wasted so extravagantly elsewhere.

Or like Nicolae Ceausescu. It's better if the Iraqis do it themselves.

Either the LA Times, NY Times, or Washington Post.
