Bug

I used to solo up to 5.7 on a regular basis. Mostly alpine. But now I am just not practiced enough.

I think yours is the popular beleif system over the broader society. Hetero males, especially hetero christian males who respect gays and lesbians are probably way outnumbered by those who do not. I cannot imagine those gays I have known, willingly going through the taunting and humiliation our society subjects them to. It just is not something I can beleive. No science here. Just my observation.

Answer my question. To answer your question there was no decision for me. I am normal. I love my wife. I am male and she is female. 99.999% of all homosexuality is an abnormal learned behavior. I will concede the smallest percentage that might actually be genetically messed up. But for the most part homosexuality is an abnormal learned behavior. This seems like mis information. I have lived and worked amoung the "stricken" and without exception, they suffer almost daily for their sexual orientation. I do not beleive it is a choice. Count your blessings that you are in the majority persuasion. I would be interested to hear what your source for the 99.999% figure is.

No trips planned. Thanks for asking.

we want to see couloir's avatar's, but not yours Amen! Whiners.

hey, now... Just imagine if they were the ones bivying on the summit... irony: look at Bug's avatar, then his comment. My avatar is designed to gross out those who post soft porn as their avatars. I have to shut off viewing avatars at work so I don't get dinged for viewing pron. The option is available to everyone. Enjoy!

You ca turn off the Avatar viewing in "My Stuff". I live without. Youcantu. Nothing personal.

"All bets are off" just means, people get shitty for awhile. They still have to be held accountable. I have a former best friend out there somewhere who started on pain meds. Last I saw of him, the needle had control. It sucks.

well....that's cool and all, if your into cocks... Hugh is. Since I don't have the inclination to show him mine, I post a diagram for him. It gets his keyboard sticky. Actually, I can't view avatars anymore because I will get busted for Hugh's Pron at work. So I posted the penis in prostate, I mean protest. Do you like it? Hook up with Hugh.

Don't be diss'n man boobs. I'll change my avatar.

Hey, scott, how about the whole quote? Just to be fair I don't like her much but I will say this. If you ever have back pain like what you get with a ruptured disk,you will be quaffing drugs too. Once you start, good luck NOT getting addicted. Once you are addicted, all bets are off. I would look carefully at her success in staying off the drugs but commend her if she does/did. I don't like McCain because of who he is. Anger management issues make him a dangerous man to have in the White house regardless of the rest of his policies.

I need a road bike to pedal from Redmond to Issaquah every day for work. Cheap second hand, with the forearm pads to save my wimpy wrists. Who's got one hanging in their garage?

It is your life on drugs.

All great advice so far. One more thing. The air blowing off the Pacific is very humid and cold at high mph. I always take a neck gator to pull up over my nose in strong winds.

Nice! Thanks for the pics. Matching pants, gators and hats. hmmmmm.

Seems to me George Bush needs the same lecture. Too bad this kid doesn't have the family George does. Other than that, I don't see much difference. One ducked out because innocent people were getting killed. The other one ducked out because he felt like it and daddy was able to make it go away. Either way, they both signed up and backed out and should be held accountable.

I wasn't watching.

Lots of skiiable gullies.

Ask your daughter.

If you can find someone here, ask some others via PM about them. You want to make sure you aren't hooking up with someone who leads you to your death. I would answer your PM. Others may volunteer. I am booked for the summer with newbies.

It is up canyon and on the other side from Shoshone. Probably even a little upstream of Flathead. A pic from Shoshone would be a good angle as it would frame a snowfield in the background and give some good contrast. The hole is about 60 ft in diameter. It is hard to see from the main trail but there are some spots where it is viewable. The pic is deep in my parents attic in Missoula. Not much chance of finding it any time soon.

My girls and I had fun demoing shoes and scarffing swag. It was a great party and we even climbed a lot. Thanks!

Somewhere in my ancient pics is a shot of me rappelling down from one of the horns. It is a cool feature. I climbed the right side in mountain boots when I was in highschool. It is probably 5.6 but that was 30 years ago. The slab getting up to it was 3rd and easy 4th class. Although, with the fire debris there might be complications and rockfall. Get someone with a telephoto to climb SHoshone at the same time and get pic of you in the arch. The ticks tend to hang out on the southern exposures. The spotted ones are the carriers. Flick them off with a stick or your fingernail.

May I suggest using smaller dots? Man what a sweeet looking route! Nice work guys!

Doesn't look like granite.
