You have only to examine his teeth, which are designed for shearing and masticating meat. Most grass eaters have grazing and grinding teeth located only in the lower jaw. Man does not hunt in order to eat - not in the past and not now. You're making the assumption that all aspects of humans have evolved at the same time, in the same way, for the same purpose. We might have the teeth more suited for carnivorism, but that doesn't mean we haven't evolved beyond that. If the teeth of a carnivore work for omnivorism, then there wouldn't necessarily be any evolution of the teeth. Also, the relative length of our colons is more than that of a typical carnivore, indicating a possible evolution from eating meat to a more varied diet.

I'm sure you've heard of it. I'll be leaving soon to present this topic to the latest crop of MBA candidates at The Wharton Business School. Thank you very fucking much, Greg W (That was well done Greg.) My point was made. That is all.

Personal interaction is key in most of our daily situations; I'm surprised you haven't learned this yet. Yeah Dan, be more like Greg...

This summer I was sitting on the beach at Baker Lake alternately looking at Blum and Shuksan and my son and daughter throwing rocks. Down a ways was a family of PEPs (Piston Engine People). They were zipping around on those PWC (Personal Water Craft) making noise and stinking up the air a bit. At first I thought it was pretty annoying, but then as I got to watching them some, I saw they were having fun and enjoying the scene like I was, only in a different way. It didn't seem so annoying when I took it in that context. It's a different culture than mine, for sure, but no less valid of one. If you can't cut them some slack for being and thinking differently, then your intolerance just might send you to an earlier grave.

Playing army with bb guns. We had a rule that you had to shoot below the waist, but it wasn't followed too strictly. Shooting out xmas lights with bb guns. Setting the sagebrush fields on fire and using motorcycle trails as fire breaks. Didn't always work too well. Sliding across a cable stretched across a deep ravine on a pair of bent rebar handlebars. Falling off said cable and hyper extending both wrists when falling on the dirt talus at the bottom of the ravine. Tossing cut up oranges out of the end of an alley to land on cars passing on the street That game ended when Stevey Kranyak thunked a CA Highway Patrol car. Riding a 5th gear wheely on my dirt bike and looping it right as a CA Highway Patrolman turns onto the street. Riding my dirt bike over the crest of a hill and into the side of a free range bull. He was pissed, but chose to back away when I waved my arms and screamed in terror. Taping marbles to the cap end of shotgun shells and throwing them up in the air, then diving into a culvert before they hit the ground. They went off every time. Numerous incidents of making incendiary devices with gasoline, pistol powder, matchheads and any other flammable we could get our hands on. We used sticks of incense as the fuse so we'd be long gone when they went off.

Yeah, the fuckers. Hey, come to think of it, they should open up the Alpine Lakes Wilderness area to hunting of deer, goats, sqirrels, and marmots.

If I remember correctly, the older version of the Urioste guide says Black Orpheus is 17 pitches. When I did it, we managed to shave it to 15 by running that 4th class middle ground as one. A friend of mine with a 200' rope did it in 12. ?

It's all pretty confusing: Ounces are measurement of mass (weight) Milliliters are measurement of volume. White gas and water have different densities (mass per unit of volume.) 22 ounces of each will have slightly different amounts of volume. 650 milliliters of each will have different amounts of mass. But, 650 ml of water is equal to 650ml of white gas. 22 ounces of water is equal to 22 ounces of white gas.

Chuck, How does the loose rock on Kaleetan compare with that on Bryant? I've always wanted to do this traverse solo, but after doing Bryant, I'm a little edgy about the "low point" on Kaleetan. TIA BTW, Good TR (and thanks to Phil for the cool pics.) [ 10-11-2002, 08:32 AM: Message edited by: ScottP ]
