It's not likely this will be Assglokisses last post. He was talking about resurrecting the Agent Orange avatar anyhow.

at exit 38

I can bring what's left in the bag of charcoals I brought last year. I think there's plenty left.

. Where's Del Campo? It's up Weden Creek from the road that connects Barlow Pass to the old Monte Cristo townsite. I believe it takes off just before the first bridge.

It was certainly a pleasure to see Dee's presentation of this film. He had prepared the maps used on the 53 expedition of which he was a member. And he has done a lot of the documentation of the climb with photos he took and paintings he has done both on the climb and since. While introducing the film Dee showed a lot of his own slides and gave an informative and entertaining history of the climbs particularly the 53 climb which he paticipated in. Which is, of course, the climb on which Pete Shoening did the famouse "Belay". And Houston's film was quite well done for the time in which it was filmed. It was an evening well spent.

I plan to be in Portland for this event (May 18) and may need a place to crash for the night. Anyone down in PDX have some floorspace or a couch I can snooze on?

hummer bummer

I saw Rory Block play some licks at the Triple Door last night. She finally dicovered that a #13 deep well socket was the only thing that would fit her finger for playing slide guitar. She did for Amazing Grace what Hendrix did for the Star Spangled Banner.

Well....In all my days I've NEVER heard of such a sneaky, underhanded, and just plain unethical thief. At least they could do you the favor of smashing a window so you'd know they'd been there. When I came down from climbing the North Face of Index North Peak the driver side window of my car was smashed in. The irony is there was nothing in my car to steal. They didn't even see the key to my car which I had hidden under the rock they used for smashing my window.

It was a MAST Huey out of Yakima that saved my ass a couple years back. It's a pretty good chance I wouldn't have survived my accident without the timely and highly skilled work they performed in getting me out. My understanding is that they were pushing the altitude limit when the lifted me off my perch at 7,000ft. I'm greatful the resource was there. It isn't just Mountain rescues that will be affected, I presume. MAST does a lot of rushing people to the hospital from traffic accidents on the interstate.

AWAKE Linda Hogan Waking today just before winter when I try to name the color of grasses, how I feel of their beauty, there is no word. I think of the time before there were words when you would know morning mist by the feel of your loved one's skin and hair, and when someone came from the forest of dry leaves you would know by their scent even if they carried no wood. Or the heat of there body skin in summer. Or if they came the winding way down from the mountains they would be covered in cloud returning to the fold or if they had gone farther, to the ocean, you'd know them by their far-seeing eyes, and when some travellers return and are shining with light you know, without saying, that they have been in touch with other worlds. I have no wealth to speak of other than this, all this, just to praise the dry grasses and their color that can't be spoken in words.

Yep; that's Fred and a bunch of other pub club geezers.

I've left the car at least five times to climb Chimney Rock and still haven't summitted. Been as far as the glacier four times. Last time I was up there I almost got to the key ledge before I fell and busted my feet..Doh!!

THE AMERICAN CENTURY Blackbirds whistle over the young Willow leaves,pale celadon green, In the cleft of the emerald hills. My daughter is twenty-one months old. Already she knows the names of Many birds and flowers and all The animals of barnyard and zoo. She paddles in the stream, chasing Tiny bright green frogs. She wants To catch them and kiss them. Now she Runs to me with a tuft of rose Gray owls clover."What's that? Oh! What's that?" She hoots like an owl and caresses The flower when I tell her it's name. Overhead in the deep sky Of May Day jet bombers cut long White slashes of smoke. The blackbird Sings and the baby laughs, midway In the century of horror. ...KR 1956

...another from Rexroth: THE HEART OF HERAKLES Lying under the stars, In the summer night, Late, while the autumn Constellations climb the sky, As the cluster of Hercules Falls down the west I put the telescope by And watch Deneb Move towards the zenith. My body is asleep. Only My eyes and brain are awake. the stars stand around me Like gold eyes. I can no longer Tell where I begin and leave off. The faint breeze in the dark pines, And the invisible grass, The tipping earth, the swarming stars Have the eye that sees itself.
