Fairweather

Only a part-timer here in WA now. Mostly reside in a good state, at the foot of a lonely mountain range with very small glaciers, a few grizzlies--and absolutely no face masks, patagucci attire or urban arrogance. How's everyone here? I see some some diehards still about, and a few good trip reports. Mount Hunter, even! Sheesh. Incredible! Where's that crazy eastern European guy with the German and Russian heritage? And that chubby goatee lightbulb artist who turned a Liberty Ridge TR into a treatise on anal sex? And Ivan THC? Is he still Zinndoctrinating young children? I actually liked him. His Ptarmigan Ridge TR remains my all-time favorite. His gate-buster Volvo video a close second.😂 Still climbing, I guess fit for a 60-something. But mostly the same old high alpine traverse type stuff in a new range. Endurance, navigation, scrambling, beautiful campsites, fun. Survived a couple bouts with death a few years ago, but not in the mountains. Recovered and retired. Pub Club? Maybe. But I would never set foot in Seattle. Haven't, in fact, for over seven years. But I have to be fair about this--it's not the city itself I dislike, rather, it's the people who live there.😁 Merry Christmas!

Pass. Excellent.

It's dark in here, smells dank. Like an abandoned bunker. Water dripping in another room. Chain-lamp is out. Gotta be an old breaker panel in here somewhere. So, who's dead? Who's alive? Assisted living facilities? Prison? Mental institutions? Reeducation camp? Did anyone get out of the PRW in time? Do people here still climb mountains like they used to? Let's run some routine tests: libtard

A word of caution here, I placed an order last April, paid through PayPal, and still have not received my order. My email inquiries have gone unanswered. I don't regret having made a "donation" to the Pargeter cause--but am disappointed that I never received my map.

Thin skinned lib tard admin. What a sad little man who bans the use of words he doesn't like. Thanks for the demonstration/confirmation of libthink: "Faggotty," "Republicunt," "Conservatatard," and, of course, "*" are all a-ok here--as long as a bona-fide cc.com liberal is the user. "Lib*tard", however, is offensive and must be banned. You're a real piece of work, Oly.

Conservatard Libtard Tard This has been a test. The test was failed. No surprise.

Well done, San Francisco.

Bernie is, apparently, a pro 2nd Amendment socialist. In fact, he has a very, very nuanced voting record on a wide range of issues.

Early choices: Scott Walker, Ben Carson, Marco Rubio, and, maybe, Rand Paul. Non-Starters: Jeb Bush, Ted Cruz, Rick Perry, Chris Christie (subject to change). And, oh yea, ANYONE BUT HILLARY.

Nevermind pot, there are more and more employers who test and or refuse to hire tobacco users. Corporate nannies getting to be as bad as government nannies.

Hillary would be an Obama cake with corruption-flavored frosting.

Yes, socialism and individual freedom tend to not get along very well. That said, it's refreshing to hear a candidate like Sanders who says what he actually believes.

Use your smart phone instead?

My son likes Archer. I've watched one episode; some sick shit Daughter likes Futurama. I think I am getting old.

My daughter says house of cards is good. My son tells me Dexter was really good too. No time these days. Unless I quit work. Or give up books. Or mountains. Or sex.

Game of Thrones Breaking Bad.

60s; Rat Patrol, McHale's Navy, Star Trek 70s; Gilligan's Island MaryAnn b&w schpank 80s; Rockford, Miami Vice, Starsky & Hutch, Hunter--and climbing. 90s; kids and climbing; no tv 00s; kids and climbing; no tv

Bummer. So why don't they ban kid's bikes, geeezz. Back to TV, my favorite was The Rockford Files. His trailer on the beach with empty beer cans scattered around it was friggin' great!

Forget TV. I miss lawn darts.

Well said.

KK, did you ever get Oly's glasses back to him?
