Gordy's Tastee Freeze. I think it's gordy's. Nice view from the chairs on the side and the tables out back.

I think it's Pikachu. But I don't know my Pokemon

The Kris Kringle (don't drink in summer unless you're way high up) mug of Hot Chocolate 2 oz Jack Daniels 1 oz Butterscotch Schnapps I'd try making a golden cadillac with chambord and sloe gin, call it the "pink cadillac" but my freezer and liquior cabinet don't support the recipe right now.

I meant indict.

Maybe the UN will impeach Bush and Cheney for war crimes.

I use dual knee strings, both fore and aft, and don't use plastics much. But the Lowa's would be my choice for plastic boots.

...haven't seen that. First THURSDAY is free at SAM, and they don't let you into the main exhibit, just the standing collections. Lots of great NW coast native stuff, if you haven't been before.

You can get a laptop from one of the mainstream manufacturers (Toshiba, Hitachi, I can't recall which) that is designed for third world travel and theatres of war. I'm sure it runs Windows, but it's waterproof, dust and shock proof, in a totally durable case. I personally like Macs, but for extended third world travel I'd search out one of these waterproof and gritproof machines. Edited to say: Panasonic Toughbook, or laptops by Itronix or Terralogic

anyone who presumes themselves important enough to remove summit registers is a grade A asshole. Leave them alone. if you don't like em, don't open em. Does a person who removes registers also see it upon themselves to remove trail signs, old Indian or white man blazes, etc? How about petroglyphs, do those get the axe as well?

asswipe, it's a party with a slushcup.

Thinking about some skiing under a full moon this weekend and read there's a ski party/ slush cup up by castle/pinnacle saddles on Sunday. If anyone wants to leave town Saturday for an hour hike to camp, then skiing at night + ski party slush cup on Sunday, PM me. can climb something in the tatoosh group while we're at it.

shot!

...and I have five or six pairs of perscription sunglasses, a couple of them glacier glasses, at a bill or two per pair, but for a person needing inexpensive eye protection for one glacier climb, fitovers are the way to go. The MEC ones are way more stylish than they used to be, but will still make a person look like a refugee from a bass fishing competition.

U.S. sells me arms unrest in the middle east real war is for oil

Hotel America: Scenes in the lobby of the Fin-de-Siecle by Lewis Lapham.

superdark overglasses from an optometrist (the kind you see see seniors wear) or glacier overgoggles (look like welders goggles) still available at MEC, I believe. both should be under twenty bucks. She could also go ask her optometrist what's a good idea. When REI stopped selling the glacier overgoggles, I knew they had gone over to the dark side.

Bridge Creek group site is still available for the weekend of October 1-2-3.

Denver airport's got a Canterary cut fabric roof, pretty cool IMO. But so far out in the sticks, the planes have a problem with deer on the runways. I think Denver was thinking urban sprawl, and how it may be there in thirty years.

You could get C & S to help you design the sandals, too. You'd be able to take a factor 2 fall while tied into your espadrillas...

A gaggle of geese, a snaffle of clmbers.

airplane manifold once, a bogen manfrotto tripod, and nugs twice, both times while not having any.

If you're big enough, you can get disability- I knew a guy, he used to brag about having to 'keep his weight up' to keep the government checks rolling in! There is something wrong with American welfare system. Did anyone see this months' National Geographic? cover article is on obesity, but there's also a great article on first traverse of the Patagonian icecap by Borge Ousland and a partner. Crazy hauling kayaks up icefall photos! Oh, remember, if you get fat, go for the disability.

that's one of the varieties of Mediteranean start. You get to have a cooked breakfast sometimes as well. Much more civilized than an Alpine start.

Wandered around on the White Chuck Glacier by the Kololo peaks. Sunburnt, blisters, and bit by mosquitos.

Scimitar's probably pretty open right now judging from the look of the rest of the mountain, not to mention access??? I was up around Glacier Peak this weekend. The easiest but long way is up the Sauk to Glacier Peak meadows, then up to the White Chuck Glacier and onto the Gerdine Glacier to the Cool at 9200 feet, then up the SW slope. Me and a buddy ski traversed the mountain June of last year and this was the best route. Still looked like excellent skiing as of this weekend. The Sitkum's glacier had gone dry in spots, and the pumice slope to the summit well melted out on that side,looked like good skiing, maybe bushthwack up Bekos Creek? East side, I wouldn't bring skis, unless you can use them to cross the Suiattle, it's usually pretty raging. I don't know if anyone has been over from Buck Creek Pass, maybe there's a bigass tree jam for a crossing. Skiing that side wouldn't be too easy this late in the year. Have fun, wish I could go with!
