What size aliens are you looing for?

The last three international flights I took (Argentina in 2000, Ecuador and Thailand in 2002) only let us have small bags that weighed under 12 pounds as carry-ons. Everything else had to be checked in. They have different rules for international flights, but if you want to know for sure what the rules are you should call the airline. If you are worried about your bags being locked, I have not had any problems asking the TSA security officer to lock the bag with my padlock after they have inspected it. You hand them the lock, they close it and you can inspect that it is secure before they send it down the conveyor belt.

What time?

Thanksgiving isn't for for a few more days, can we hold off talk of X-mas until after that...

Clean out your closets and help someone stay warm this winter.

You guys need to head outside and take advantage of the stagnant air over the PNW. It'd be nice for you to find a distraction from today's spray fest that seems to be spreading outside that designated forum.

A couple years back another poster on this board recovered his stolen rack from a woman who called his phone number that he'd written on a piece of the gear she found on her lawn. Pays to mark a few piecs of gear with contact info just in case.

My longest commute was taking a bus from the Richmond Dist to downtown in SF. Less than 4 miles distance and anywhere between 45 minutes and 1.25 hours. I moved across the Golden Gate Bridge to Mill Valley and the 16 miles (and waiting in line to pay the toll) took only 45 minutes reliably. Once they insititued the prepay electronic toll lanes the commute was 30 minutes. Now I commute 15 mintues form home to work here in Seattle.

Only if you work a traditional week... Sunday was my Monday and yesterday was my Friday. Today is the start of a weekend. First time I have 3 days off (no school, no work) in a row since August.

I think the mods for access must have been out playing. I've asked the spray mods to move this thread to access.

MisterE. I agree with Arch. Season 1 & 2 were great. I felt like an addict. Season 3 was ok. We stopped watching about 2 discs into season 4. It's been about 2 months and I was thinking of picking it up again now that I have more time to watch tv, but this thread reminded me why I stopped. Thanks.

Blake - check your pm's

That was part of the logic behind helmet rules I believe. Public health policy. I'm curious of the civil libertarians views on public health policy regarding avian flu/anthrax/other pandemics. Should the government be allowed to mandate behavior, or should we trust that all citizens will act in their best interest? Actually I believe the government can mandate your behavior in the case of pandemic or bioterrorism threat. It was a quiet little proposal that passed after 9-11 and the feds encouraged all states to adopt some form of plan on how they would contain "outbreaks". I don't recall the specific codes but there was some discussion in this forum a couple years ago. The governor of the state would basically declare martial law and it would be a crime to not comply with requests for health exams, vaccinations, limitations on physical movement or travel... As for the smoking ban, Chuck it is not just about lowering health care costs. It is about improving the health of the overall population. Tobacco smoke contains some 5000 chemicals and upwards of 50 known carcinogens. Second hand smoke has the same chemicals as first hand smoke. In effect if you hang out in smokey places or a smoker resides in your house you are a passive smoker NOT a non-smoker. Your own health risks are the same. Cancer (many forms not just lung), stroke, heart attack, increased cholesterol levels, asthma, emphysema, chronic bronchitis, GERD, and many others. These are not fun problems to deal with and may not be evident for many years after exposure. The issue's not about private property rights, economic parity with tribal business establishments, etc. It is about public health.

Sorry you got hurt Joel. I wish you a speedy recovery. BTW Griz... Maybe the nurse's aide or students could help with a sponge bath, as the RNs tend to delgate that task so they can concentrate on more complex aspects of a patients care.

I was only there for 9 days about 5 years ago and stayed in the area around Lk. Taupo on the N. Island. I thought the food was amazing. Most places we ate at were healthy and organic just because that was normal there. I thought is was kinda interesting that the deer they had on venison farms behaved a lot like our cattle herds.

There is also some good climbing up north in Chang Mai. Haven't been there, but I saw an interesting looking guide book at Feathered Friends in Seattle about a month ago. Another route to Ton Sai is to take a long tail boat from the harbor in Krabi to West Rai Lay (maybe 150 bhat if I recall correctly) and then walk to Ton Sai. About a mile. You'll get a sense of the whole place and will be able to stop off in one of the climbing shops in Rai Lay and get a guide book. I'd recommend picking up some snacks for your pack in Krabi. You can get a pound of cashews for about $2 and bananas and other fruit too. Eat the bananas & pineapples there and you'll never settle for another piece of fruit from Dole... If you're not wanting to stay in the grass bungalows with mosquito nets and have a bit more money to spend, upgrade to a cinder block bungalow with a fan for a couple more hundred bhat. Book for a few days at a time and renegotiate with them for a cheaper deal each time you "rebook". Have fun!

Enjoying my b-day with friends.

How about Tuesday Dec 6th?

Maybe it should be since it's all about rock climbing adventure.

Bronco - we had a similar summer of climbing adventure... I climbed one afternoon at a local crag. Spent most of the summer working to support my broke student lifestyle. Got in some good hiking in the rain and ate lost of berries. Had a fun vacation checking out the Bella Coola Valley and the sights along highway 20 in central BC. Organized my climbing gear when I moved and thought about next summer when I will hopefully get to use it again.

We've needed to rent them every year. Do it before you leave town... Getting a tap was kind of a pain last year.
