Eisenhower worked in the Office of Special Plans in the '30's prior to WWII.

I'm sure the Republican National Committee is very pleased for your contribution to the re-election campaign of George W. Bush.

Boy, you guys are a trip. I'm not trying to convince anyone of anything. I never said my opinion was worth anything to anyone except me. You don't agree with me? I don't really fucking care. In reading that analysis, it calls out a low risk of injury.

I was proving no point, only giving personal opinion/analysis.

Sorry, I'll take my truck any day. Thanks. I see that your post assumes that I don't know what crumple zones do and how they react. That means you awarded a beautiful crystal decanter of SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!

I drive a full size Chevy pickup and I KNOW I am much safer than in a smaller car. Being up higher, my field of vision is better; I can see further ahead at what is going on with cars in front of me. My truck is built on a frame, not some uni-body bullshit with "crumple zones". It's pretty maneuverable, as well. I've had to swerve on several occasions to avoid animals or other cars or debris and not had a problem. The most important this is to know your vehicle intimately and know what it can do. Trucks and SUV's are not Honda Accords; it's important to know the limitations of any vehicle you purchase.

Hey I'm just going on a semi-scientific survey. There are plenty of others out there, just seems like many of those with the cummins turbo diesel have something to prove on the hill climbs I'm pretty chill behind the wheel but if some kid in a modified civic etc thinks it's cool to risk others' safety because he got a new coffeecan muffler, well that's uncool. dood your speadin' the hate here you might as well be greg w bitching about the hippies Hey, hippies are a real problem. Some are starting to threaten violence.

Screw that choss-pile. I hear that South-facing Leavenworth climbs are drying out.

No, I'm like this all the time. hehehe. Honestly, the way people drive here used to infuriate me. I learned how to drive in Chicago. Now, it's just not worth expending energy on it. I can use it for other things:

he's a little slow, it's not his fault realy... is there a short bus for globel conciousness? post pre-emptively deleted by this user in an effort to avoid reacting to the previous poster's childish outburst.

Whatever, that sounds pathetic. Why would I give some dipshit who can't merge the power to affect me so profoundly? Maybe I keep it in perspective or whatever. But if you go through life allowing these little things to "run" you, that's trouble. People like you make me glad I carry a gun - you're about to go postal right now, I can tell.

That sounds pretty fucking stupid. But that's my opinion. Do you have documented studies showing these "cascading effects"? If I flip off someone of Arabic descent does that translate to a rise in terrorist acts? Or will OPEC raise their prices? Does cutting off a Chinese immigrant have a direct impact on the trade deficit with Communist China? Please, dude, I think you overestimate your own personal importance.

Ask for this:

Scotty, I think pitch 1 of Roger's is 5.8 in the book; p2 is 5.9. It's a fun outing, IMO. I can't speak to Vantage, never climb there. Smoke Bluffs has tons of great shit.

Classic Crack Twin Crack Dogleg Crack (all in L-worth) Pitch 1 & 2 of Lizard (Index) - not sure if both are .8 Oh, yeah...why 5.8? Roger's Corner & Princely Ambition are nice at Index; they're 5.9.

You don't know anger, you're Canadian. You want rage and anger? Give me a call.

Thanks, dude. It's my wallpaper now.

Uhh, the majority of us are in Seattle or PDX....that should tell you a little about how liberal we are as a general group. Greg is one of our special kids. We try to be nice to him even though he thinks poor people are lazy. I don't think all poor people are lazy. I think that many people who are poor, are that way due to choices that THEY have made about the direction of their lives. I don't see that I need to be punished because of my success and hard work just because someone decided to get drunk and knocked up at 16 and has no marketable skills because of it.

That's pretty idealistic. There are only so many positions that can be filled with trained professionals. Don't we need ditch diggers too? If a ditch digger wants to become a programmer would you feel good about your taxes being used to send them to school while you get buried beneath student loans or your family depletes their personal riches to support you? Personally I would rather pay for my own way and have my parents sitting on a beach somewhere than letting Uncle Sam carve another 2% of my paycheck to pay for someone else's tuition. if "ditch digging" paid a wage that you didn't have to work 4 jobs to live the migrant workers would out of work This is bullshit. Those union "ditchdiggers" are making pretty good coin.

ATC - simple, easy. I would like to get one of those ATC-type devices someone's making for thinner ropes.

Pretty spot on, if you ask me.

FUCKIN A!!! What a great story!!!!

George must have not noticed that the meaning of marriage changed when the divorce rate hit 50%. Yeah, now it means, "I want to share my life with you and give you half of all my stuff in 5-10 years."

My guess is that they'll do a reassessment of the road repairs necessary once it all clears out. I don't think they tried to do any road repair before the snows, but I could very well be wrong.
