i also find mention of Ohio Caverns and Olentangy Indian Caverns, and w/ such a prestigious word as "cavern" being applied, they gotta be good

shit, sounds like you're living in the home of the biggest geode in the world! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_Cave_(Ohio)

have you tried caving? pretty much that whole half of the country is riddled w/ limestone caves - i only did a few but found it pretty damn adventerous - don't know of any in ohio but there's gotta be some.

Yea, and look how well that worked out. The biggest advantage now being home to the Piggly Wiggly chain and inventor of po' boys. Hopefully we'll stave off that fate. hey now, don't fuck w/ piggly wiggly - that guy's a national treasure!

Very interesting Frontline piece. Surprise Oakland! Justice department says it's illegal even with a state medical mojo law! My guess is that if, and a big if, it passes here in WA it will unravel in a sad, short , and similar fashion once the state receives the Justice Dept letter. as a proud southerner, i've amble historical faith in the power of a fuckload of states refusing to obey at any rate, prohibition has not been an insurmountable obstacle in the past, and its only for the best that the movement now move away from the charade of medicinal use (which was also, believe or not, a big part of the resistance to alcohol's prohibition, and throughout that period a lucrative yet silly way around the barrier - as was "religious exceptions," as jews were permitted an annual legal amount, which apparently caused a bloom in the population of rabbis such that, for a while, they outnumbered the actual national population of jews! )

next friday would be the cat's motherfucking meow

figured i'd use the occasion of i502 to do a debate w/ my seniors on the subject over the next 2 weeks - just saw the frontline "pot republic" piece and will use that, but wanna come preach to the choir anyhow?

n' newt's got enough hot air to keep the whole place nice n' toasty

too predicatable?

I watched it. no need to watch all 11 minutes of it, this film reproduction does it due justice in just a minute and a half! [video:youtube]

funny, just finished previewing mitch daniels response for use w/ the kids next week - holy shit, what a boring motherfucker

that depends - was it on the cover or was it like, ya know, an insert?

That sounds like fun..... or just crazy! lining up some corporate sponsorship now oughta help make the down-payment on the amount of cord (n' steel 'biners) you'd need to make it happen

the about sums up the world i reckon

you n' tvash have somethign in common then! we rocked the fuckign house w/ this motherfucker this past fall at the cascade pass trailhead, high as georgia pine, the late mitochondria in attendance. seemed a mighty appropriate soundtrack as subaru after subaru shit out mounties to lay seige to sahale

"for such is the nature of men that how so ever they may acknowledge many others to be more witty, or more eloquent or more learned, yet they will hardly believe there be many so wise as themselves; for they see their own wit at hand, and other men's at a distance." course, thomas hobbes, for all of that, was convinced khaddafi n' mubarak n' louis xiv, etc., etc. represented the finest form of government, so clearly he was a pogue.

i did the exact opposite - so hated the crowds and bullshit of the east coast i left it and all my family behind (save the wife of course) at age 28 and have seriously been back for a grand total of maybe a week's worht of time in the 10 years since then adventure and somethign like wilderness can still be found out there though - huge hikes on the AT - seneca and the new - caving - rivers - but nothing like out here. what can ya do? move back! take long vacations?

setup a zipline between beacon and hamilton mtn

apparently little'nastia, for her b-day, wished the cc.com lords to relinquish her from her geekish scientific avatar-handle? hopefully it'll be on to "cassinridge" after you tick yer new title, devushka?

this happens to me whenever i get the yellow curry #5 spicy

i'm planning on writing in fred beckey - maybe ron paul would agree to be his vp?
