Have you guys ever heard of these? Around 1910-1912 participants would race from downtown Bellingham to the summit of Baker and back to town. The glaciers extended a mile lower than they do now, so evidently there were less crevasses and thicker ice which afforded the racers the opportunity to slide down the mountain on their asses. Along particular parts of the marathon the racers would ride horses or take a train. The times were unreal...like under 13 hours. The death of the president of the British Columbia mountain club in 1913, due to a fall into a Mt. Baker crevasse may have been the contributing factor ending the races.
I just thought it was interesting.
Even though I am a Republican - I'm a little concerned that George Bush has a Republican House and a Republican Senate - and a Republican or at least conservative Supreme Court. This could be a bad thing. The balance of power is out of whack....

It would be okay with me to put them in my backyard as long as they were propery prepared (which I'm sure they would be).

DFA, I don't know about politicians knocking each other off, but didn't your pal Gary Conduff knock up some poor soul? Damn Democrats can't keep their peckers in their pants.
