man behind tree brings cooler to pick up some food

kinda happened to me. although it was a small roof. i just said "fuck it" and see what happens. the ropes landed on small bush tree growing out of a large crack below the roof for which I could not see. I was lucky.

Can someone explain this to me what they say. They said that 30million evangelical christians stayed home and did not vote, and Obama was elected. Isn't Socialism based on the same philosophies as Christianity? Not perfect, but close.

bureaucracy. how many administrators making a fat paycheck got laid off, do you think? Bingo!! I would like to see a simple statistic that shows the percentage of administrative costs from the whole at each School District over 30 years. My hunch is that the administrative costs have never decreased....

Have you ever had a period in time where you have NOT heard there is too much money for education? In my lifetime I have always heard people whine about not enough money for education. Always. Even during the dot.com bubble and this state had excess money. Always. When you get kids in the public school system, then you start learning about waste. War. Yes. A waste.

awesome! I keep trying to get the kids away from the Nintendo DS, but mom has a way of rewarding them too much! you make me hopeful!

I watched your vid. I was not going to log on to vote. I liked the part about the broken bones and the doctor stuff because it is a part of the biking. Kinda like fighting your job to go climbing more.

I know someone who bought at $35K truck, and did not pay for health insurance. He broke his foot twice. Went to the hospital twice. They treated him twice. He did not pay. Federal law says they must treat people who enter the hospital. Yet....he bought a $35K truck, and has digital cable too. A family member smokes, and watches about 5-8 hours of tv a day, and is obese. True too. However, she is covered by insureance. So...what will medicaid look like for her in the future? You pay for this too. I t comeses down to is health care a right or a privelege?

call it after affects of La Nina. last year was the coldest June on record. this year..not the coldest, but definitely wet. My guess is this will continue like last year into early July

We will do fine--not just as well. I agree the Discovery Pass thing has put a crimp on potential tourist dollars. Some poeple don't go to trailheads becuase of the NW pass for the same reason.

i see something changing a little this coming late Sunday!...albeit only to Tuesday...

way to hang it in there after 3 attempts. way to get that one off your back.

now Dan has infested another person with his insanity!

More sentimental than value. Lost 1 mile before the Hannegan Pass trailhead...I knew I left them on the road.

so you mean to say, when we don't see a trip report from you, you were still out being a badass? that was one haul out to CBP....AND back!

Darwin affect. However, you forget one thing. The buyers all signed contracts. I have yet to hear a single buyer say, "They forced me to sign this contract under duress." False marketing? Yes. Stupid buyers? Oh yeah.

Is the bear coming down in that picture or bouncing up?

no power bars yes on snickers and twix and other candy bars...always good when frozen real butter is real good to add to your food mrs dash is highly recommended to add to your food too

very nice managerie. wonderful!

I remember seeing their trails up to their "howitzer like" machines. those guys would carry the bombs on their backs up to the machines so they could fire into India. And to get the bombs into the base they would fly the helicopters...and helicopters need fuel. There is a lot of fuel spilled at Concordia for this effort....this border fighting thing is crazy... I could understand for oil or for gold...but for an inhospitable place where only climbers like to go?

HOR. I am happy you are with us for more days. you got out 250 days in a year? I am jealous!

Many, many years ago.... I was sitting talking to this girl next to me have a decent conversation about routes. She is standing. I am sitting. She wips out this plastic thingy and sticks it in her front zipper all in one stride while not missing a beat in our conversation. She starts peeing like one of the guys right in front me while still talking. She does not turn away. My first experience with a lady j.

great effort! sorry about the Chiwawa road thingy.

You have thoughts that say, "there's no way I'm going to ski this thing" ? cmon! you aren't normal like all of us! amazing what you do.

seals have better technique at this level of difficulty
