Allison - What happens when you have to take a pay cut? What will you do when you have your surgery later this year and maybe have to take time off or pay a portion of the medical costs? You will (I assume) take a hard look at your personal budget and decide what is important and what isn't, what can wait, et cetera. Isn't that a responsible thing to expect from a government? Why should it be okay for a government's need for money continually increase? Do you really think, in the face of a $20M shortfall and reduced state funding, it is responsible of Ron Simms and King County to move forward with a $9M drunk tank? That is a prime example of why people voted for I-776 (in my opinion); because they were sick and tired of the governmental bodies in this state expecting more and more money and spending and spending and spending. End of throwdown... Greg W

quote: Originally posted by allison: Yes, it would apprear that we as an electorate would rather have cheaper car tabs than parks and libraries. Bullshit Allison. I think you're smart enough to know that these are separate budget line items. This is a COUNTY issue; see above where Ron Simms is building a $9M drunk tank on your dime. Colonel - Eiman had nothing to do with the parks in King County. [ 11-13-2002, 01:13 PM: Message edited by: Greg W ]

King County is closing parks so that Ron Simms can afford to build an $8-9 Million apartment building for homeless drunks. I am not kidding; this is an actual project. King County had a $20M shortfall in their budget I recently heard. Ain't government grand?

Hey, Disney beats the fucking Teletubbies or Barney. Both of which I have successfully banned from our house for the past 3+ years.

All that said and done, Belle from Beauty & the Beast is pretty hot!! I have always found it interesting the women in the Disney cartoons (Pocahontas, Mulan, Beauty & the Beast, etc.) are really hot and perfect (not that I mind).

quote: Originally posted by iain: nothing wrong with ice climbing but why people seek out dry tooling is beyond me. Sure use it if the route warrants, but to do it for entertainment? I could see it as good training if you are at the level of getting into serious mixed or alpine routes. But I see your point, Iain, if you are just starting out. Granted, anything that would help build the muscles and balance inherent to ice climbing is good.

Scary shit!!

Matt; I'd have to agree with most here that if you want to move away from Toyota, Subaru would be a natural move. I like both of the Subarus I have owned and they have surprisingly good ground clearance. Probably could clear both the creekbeds to the base of the Granite Sidewalk.

I like it Dru. My wife just rolls her eyes when I start to psychoanalyze all the Disney cartoons that my daughter loves.

...What kind of fucked up home life Christopher Robin had that he had to invent some weird fantasy about animals that talked and lived in the woods by his house. Not to mention the fact that the main character was an orange bear wearing only a belly-shirt. And do you worry about Roo being raised by a single mother (Kanga) without a father-figure? Maybe I shouldn't drink rum and coke and watch the "Tigger Movie" with my daughter.

I am still waiting to see a trip report entitled: Castle Rock: Saber (V 5.11c) and I expect sooner or later I will Speaking of ratings switcheroos, I was flipping through the most recent issue of Outside (the one with Dean Potter on the cover) and came across a short profile of Miles Smart. Next to the photo of Miles jugging a line, it talks about his speed record of Zodiac (5.10). What's that?

quote: Originally posted by mikeadam: Climbing mountains is a serious life enhancing activity that has made me the person I am today. Furthermore, this board has really enhanced my overall experience in the mountains and given me much in depth thought about which glacier axe I'll need to send Denali. I am not sure how it's helped my climbing, but it must have somehow because when I am behind my computer I want to touch climbing in some manner. THIS IS IT DUDES! No matter how inane. So let's share some friendly 'ol beta with the gapers out there. YAH! I realize now because of the effort of many fine individuals and their subtle, and sometimes not so subtle, attempts at social engineering that it's important NOT to spray. I should fall in line with the BORG and become one... What is important is that I gain recognition via my postings and culminate the love and respect of my fellow climbers. Posting in a friendly and appreciable manner will lead to this end. Praise BE! AMEN! Hey let's create some catch phrases we can all share together at the next pub club Therefore I resolve to only post useful information on the web so everyone in the climbing community will see me as truly being one with them, and for them. Cause I care. Furthermore, I love Seattle and Oregon liberals. If it weren't for them, transplanted Coloradoans, Californians, midwesterners and Southerners wouldn't have any people to denigrate. Spray War. Someone slipped Mike some 'shrooms!!

Stay in New York, it rains all the time here. We all hate it but we're too depressed by the weather to muster the energy to move to Phoenix.

What's wrong with a bit of friendly jocularity?
