wow; i really hope this guy learned something from this. he's lucky he only broke his leg!

that's not necessarily a good thing, though!

cedar wright is listed at talent. is that the same cedar that hangs out in the valley?

i think the dude thought you were thinking of OXYCONTIN ... not "The hormone of love and cuddle chemical, oxytocin."

the news report last night was great. it ended with one of them basically saying they wouldn't have gotten lost if they had brought a map. Climbers only needed a map

The Garmin website has a useful comparison page. thanks!

what's the difference between the gecko 101/201 and the etrex models?

no; they just don't fit you right. everybody's feet are different, heels/ankles/achilles/etc. included. really pays to try on a million pair until you find the ones that fit you best ...

i know you weren't asking me, but i think rumr has about 3 pairs of shoes for every different climbing he might encounter. imho, with the correct fit mythos can do just about anything pretty damned well - up to a point ... but after some use, they certainly can't edge like a pair of anasazi velcros will. but they will almost certainly be more comfortable. as for smearing ... well, that kind of climbing just freaks me out! hey! i fessed up to being a shoe slut...your anaz are too tight...that's all... yeah, but the next size up is too big. i must not have an "anasazi" foot.

not at all...think "relax" as opposed to actually stretching... i tried to stretch a pair of anasazi velcro shoes once. actually more than once. and i really tried - using rumr's suggestions no less. nothing doing.

IRS counsel? woowee!

i like this suggestion. having a personally modifiable front page would be awesome - although perhaps not very feasible ... something like the home page but with more options for the things you're watching or want to watch that makes it easy to review those threads (like active topics). does that make any sense?

did both.

for future reference, jim and/or his employees typically have actual first-hand knowledge of the products they sell.

i don't ever remember having a pizza delivered the entire time we lived in europe. i don't think it's the same kind of craze that exists in america. at least it wasn't back then! and i said lazy; not cheap. and they actually just like cereal. i think my dad would be happy eating it 3 times/day.

i thought i remember one of his parents saying that he wasn't even a scout; he was just there as a guest of a scout. not that that really pertains though ...

not that actual episode, mind you.

that's show's a classic.

been okay ... but i haven't climbed much since i left squamish. i really hope i get to visit, though - i miss that big beautiful granite!!!

thanks for sharing that great little story!

perhaps they should have waited until winter ...

Cold water makes my nipples hard...and my genitalia an androgynous ambiguity.

my school's been out for years. enjoy your summers off while you have them!

cereal sucks ass. my parents would eat that for dinner when they were too lazy - um, i mean "tired" - to cook.
