the press is hyping this stuff I heard it. it isn't nothing to listen to. kinda boring stuff but I do not understand Rush when he did say he wanted Obama's thing to fail. If it fails, then we as Americans will fail. I did not agree with going to Iraq, but at least I would have wanted to win.

I like Mr. Brooks. Always have enjoyed his pragmatism.

Rush reminds me of Madonna during her heyday. Shock. It sells. And he is making bang because of it. He is very good at saying something but doing nothing with civics.

Hmmm. Most companies during times of economic prosperity bank their excess cash to prepare for future down periods. What happened to the US cash reserves as a result of legislation during the economic prosperity under Bush and the Republican lead congress from 2002 to 2007 to prepare for future down periods?

And here I thought it was Dick Cheney as the defacto head all this time.

Another word of encouragement for a damned good job getting yourself out. Glad you can still climb in the future after taking that fall! Amazing read!

Its America -- quantity not quality.

Interesting how they are willing to have one more child becuase it is a gift from God. I wonder why they did not think taking the efforts and money and putting it towards children who are dying of starvation a work of God. I wonder how many families could be fed in the slums of Mumbai....

hot dang. thanks for sharing!

What do you mean? It had evidently been a topic at the last G7 meeting. I thought this was interesting from the article you linked JB: "Obama memorably said: "There's a building in the Cayman Islands that houses supposedly 12,000 US-based corporations. That's either the biggest building in the world or the biggest tax scam in the world, and we know which one it is." I have been to "downtown" Grand Caymen. It is very interesting to see the many names of big wall street businesses on the outside of buildings. And yet, I hardly saw anybody coming in or coming out of these two story buildings. The "downtown" area was similar in size to downtown Snohomish.

Appears as if the boss is angry. I don't understand. The boss chose to live in the US correct? If he is so pissed off, why does he stay? Better yet, why do we all stay?

I really like your pictures!

Marylou. I set up an account once. But I have yet to go back. If you want to be my friend. No problem. i just don't respond. With any extra time at home I find myself wanting to read more in an "analog" stage than read at the computer.

How much of the invasion in Iraq cost us?

it is weird. and the weather dudes say we recently entered a weak la nina too.

I think I remember somebody calculating McClellan in the winter: via Bridge Creek/Colchuck lake = 11 miles but more worth it on skis than all other options via Snow Lake = 9.5 miles via Ingalls Creek = 7.5 miles

Sounds like a good man. Glad many of you got to meet him.

33 hours!!!

thanks for the updates!

good job dayhike mike. I wonder if even those are some of the same trees standing there in the new pictures as in the old picture.

The analyst Klenke strikes again!

I am very intrigued by the angle of where the photographer is standing at. It appears the photographer is at the same elevation as the climbers when the climbers are on the rock wall. If that is so, maybe the photographer is standing on a ridge and the rock wall is directly across from this ridge. The photographer is NOT looking up to take the pictures of the guys on the wall in some of the pictures.

Nope. She had 6. Then gave birth to 8. Now she has 14! And she lives with her parents. I think there is somebody with way too many loose screws. At least she is available for all you single men.

I want to say Guye but I know I am wrong.

and nobody aint taking it away from me!
