Speaking of frozen pee...

Driving back from Leavenworth this weekend, we encountered the start of a stop-and-go line at the Index turn-off. I remembered driving from Gold Bar to Index via a gravel backroad several years ago and decided to give it a go. (It's the one that continues on past the Lower Wall parking.) Turns out they've paved it all the way to it's connection with the May Creek Rd. Taking the May Creek Rd west took us to the west side of Gold Bar which cut out about 13 miles of stop-and-go traffic. Combined with Kellogg Lake Rd and the Ben Howard Rd to 203 and Duvall-to-Woodinville and we spent very little time with the masses on HWY 2.

Speaking of taking a leak... I once watched, amazed and astounded, as a toy poodle did this very thing up against a telephone pole.

What is W’s position on Roe vs. Wade? He really doesn’t care how people get out of New Orleans

Frost was obviously taking a leak and tried to hide the fact with some fancy poet lingo.

They actually cut the audio feed when someone in the crowd yelled, "Yeah! A heck of a job totally fucking things up!" Same guy that told Cheney to go fuck himself probably. I made this up. Sorry

According to John Stewart, he was flyfishing in Montana and then closing a deal on some waterfront property in the Northeast before heading south to be told, twice, to go fuck himself during a media event.

Bush Sr, The Shrub, Brown and Chertoff said they aren't going to play the "blame game", (and then some of them turn around and blame state and city governments for not being prepared). As John Stewart said so well, "Those who won't play the "blame game" are themselves to blame."

Looking through a strange little shop down a side alley in Key West back in 1982, I saw a greeting card with a picture of Nancy Reagan wearing a fur coat. On the coat was a large button that read, "Let them eat cheese." Some shit never changes, and never will.

Your compassion overwhelms. Are you including the gang-raped 5 year old in your blanket statements? Huh? People who want help becuase they chose not to leave is hypocritical. Those people who were stranded need to take responsibility for their own lives. By that logic, intentionally putting yourself into a potentially life-threatening situation and then asking for, and accepting help when you get hurt is also hypocritical. Those people who get injured while climbing, therefore, need to take responsibility for their own lives. So true you are. In fact I have been rescued. However, it was my responsibility from where I was at. It was my responsibility to get back. I requested a helicopter. It was under no obligation for the government to send one to me. Oh. And I never bitched about it. I also never expected a helicopter. I never expected help. I do not whine. My life is my responsibility. By your own record, you were only waiting for a ride off Temple for 7 hours. If you had been there for a week, expecting help to arrive ("Due to the time (3:30), I knew my partner had to get out for a helicopter for me."), I bet there would have been considerable bitching going on. If you truly never expected help, just how far did you get from the accident site in those 7 hours.

It might help the conversation a bit if the crag was named so there was some context to your argument.

Let me be the first to spew the tired cliche'... "That gear is now worthless. Send it to me and I'll dispose of it..." Nyuk Yuk Yuk. Sorry to hear about the vehicular assault. I agree with the safety glass notion. Maybe a serious bout of vacuuming would be in order.

A Ass Pocket Full Of Whiskey IMO, his cover of Boogie Chillen is second to only 's masterpiece originals.

"A Salon article on the photographs by Aaron Kinney suggests the captions were a result of a combination of contexual and stylistic differences: Jack Stokes, AP's director of media relations, confirmed today that [photographer Dave] Martin says he witnessed the people in his images looting a grocery store. "He saw the person go into the shop and take the goods," Stokes said, "and that's why he wrote 'looting' in the caption." Regarding the AFP/Getty "finding" photo by [photographer Chris] Graythen, Getty spokeswoman Bridget Russel said, "This is obviously a big tragedy down there, so we're being careful with how we credit these photos." Russel said that Graythen had discussed the image in question with his editor and that if Graythen didn't witness the two people in the image in the act of looting, then he couldn't say they were looting. The photographer who took the Getty/AFP picture, Chris Graythen, also posted the reasons behind his caption: I wrote the caption about the two people who 'found' the items. I believed in my opinion, that they did simply find them, and not 'looted' them in the definition of the word. The people were swimming in chest deep water, and there were other people in the water, both white and black. I looked for the best picture. there were a million items floating in the water — we were right near a grocery store that had 5+ feet of water in it. it had no doors. the water was moving, and the stuff was floating away. These people were not ducking into a store and busting down windows to get electronics. They picked up bread and cokes that were floating in the water. They would have floated away anyhow."

Care to share what enemy occupations, seiges and other natural disasters you've experienced that gives you the ability to call it as you see it? My guess is you have no idea what those people have experienced and therefore are in no position to second-guess their motivations.

My wife and I are going to scramble Wedge Mountain soon. We will be driving up the Mountain Home Road from 11worth. I have a copy of that 75 Scrambles book, but having never been up there. I was wondering if anybody had some useful advice on getting to the trailhead/start of the route.

More cowbell.

According to the Kramer guide, Marts and Burgner freed it 4 years later. Leave the route alone. It's been safely climbed countless times as is. The need to "fix" it is contrived and pointless.

Word from the Mount...
