Dru, Hallucination Engine ___________________________ Well I'm wilder than her what else can I say I guess that's why she fell in love with me She's a house on fire She's got all those charms I'm a house on fire, too But I got four alarms And I'm wilder than her And it drives her out of her mind I guess she thought that she was just one of a kind But she's a summer storm And I'm a hurricane One just blows through town One blows the town away And I'm wilder than her When we go drivin' in our cars Racing through the night She can drive as fast as me But she stops at all the lights She says it's 'cause I'm crazy And she's probably right But I think that the reason is that I'm twice as wild And I'm wilder than her And it drives her out of her mind I guess she thought that she was just one of a kind But she's a summer storm And I'm a hurricane One just blows through town One blows the town away And I'm wilder than her But when she takes my hand And she looks me in the eye I see something that I've never seen in my life She takes the fire And turns it down low She takes the night And makes it not so cold She takes the distance And breaks it into miles She makes my life just a little less wild And I'm wilder than her And it drives her out of her mind I guess she thought that she was just one of a kind But she's a summer storm And I'm a hurricane One just blows through town One blows the town away And I'm wilder than her

This guy found the tree. Interesting trip report. Apparently the tree died <--Click! This picture from 1998, original album art 1986 (damn, I'm old).

It doesn't look like this:

I have a complete set of BD/WC stoppers found one piece at a time. Damn! You lucky.

As someone said recently, "I kid because I love". Peace to the big boys. p.s. Hey Off_Route, Welcome to cascadesprayers.com!

That is only true assuming you are at some point in the earth's gravitation field where g = 9.8m/s*s which is just an AVERAGE after all. Cracked, with one of those roller-biners and a few dozen bottle rockets strapped to your fat ass you might get jerked off the ground when belaying someone. Wouldn't that be a treat?

These things would allow the force to be more distributed to multiple pieces of gear and the belayer. They cost $25 each though. The only screamer I rock climb with is Squid. Fun armchair speculation problem though.

That is SOoooooooooo two weeks ago.

Here it is, THE Joshua Tree, even though it's not a real joshua tree: And all it's friends:

I had a friend in junior high/high school who, after the U2 album "The Joshua Tree" came out, thought that there was only ONE Joshua Tree. You know, THE Joshua Tree?

Damn it feels good to be a gangsta A real gangsta-ass nigga plays his cards right A real gangsta-ass nigga never runs his fuckin mouth Cuz real gangsta-ass niggas don’t start fights And niggas always gotta high cap Showin’ all his boys how he shot em But real gangsta-ass niggas don’t flex nuts Cuz real gangsta-ass niggas know they got em And everythings cool in the mind of a gangsta Cuz gangsta-ass niggas think deep Up three-sixty-five a year 24/7 Cuz real gangsta ass niggas don’t sleep And all I gotta say to you Wannabe, gonnabe, cocksuckin’, pussy-eatin’ prankstas Cuz when the fry dies down what the fuck you gonna do Damn it feels good to be a gangsta

I agree. About OB/GYNs: They are sued so frequently because most families cannot afford to pay for lifelong care for a child born with a disability or disease. Their options are: give the child up for adoption or sue the OB and/or hospital claiming they did something wrong in delivery and it's their fault.

I believe there SHOULD be a maximum $$ for medical malpractice cases. Say, $1 million? I do NOT think there should be a maximum for most other defendants. Another reason why there should NOT be a $$ limit on lawsuits against big companies is that the lawyers won't invest the investigation time, money, and energy if there isn't a big payoff. The Erin Brokovitch-type stuff (lawyer spends years researching chemical pollution resulting in medical problems/deaths, sues chemical company, wins) wouldn't happen if the max payoff was only $1 million.

WOOT! Fun times. Thanks Jon! I hope we paid the bill off?

Jon, I agree with you that $40million seems unreasonable, but the other side of the issue is that only big settlements like that get big corporations to change their practices. I believe that 99% of health care providers are honest, caring people who have their patient's best interest in mind, but I don't feel the same way about the chemical companies for example. I think they produce some dangerous products and don't care if they injure people as long as they make a shitload of money. The only way they will change their ways is if somebody sues the pants off of them or perhaps publicly shames them into action a la "unsafe at any speed". They sure ain't going to change their ways if injuried parties can only sue them for damages (medical bills or whatever).

I've been on two expeditions with people I hadn't met beforehand. One involved three people sleeping in a 2.5person tent and on the other we were stuck in a tent for 5 days during a storm. Things worked out fine. Maybe I'm just easy to get along with? Just one positive anecdote to balance out the other.

Especially if the beers were this big:

So THAT'S why the mounties wear gaitors while rock climbing! It all makes sense now.

Damn. Lucky bastard. Wonder what the story behind that is?

It happened during college at a party. I got really drunk and... My most satisfying climbing gear recovery was a blown out cam deep in the handcrack on OuterSpace. If I ever get the trigger wires replaced the cam will be servicable, but it was quite an accomplishment to fish it out of the crack. It was at least 24" deep and I had to dangle two nuttools on long strings and somehow hooked it and pulled it out after inverting it. I've gotten a few pieces of gear deep in cracks with the fishing method.

No, density is related to volume. Mass is one dimensional. WHO'S SQUARE NOW!?!?!?
