It's a pity Americans can't be as responsible as the French

That doesn't seem to be stopping Mr. Third Term

Kalymnos, Greece looks pretty swell too... of course, there's no skiing there.

Are you talking about the game they play with sticks or the one with the funny shaped ball?

I hear that if you stop sitting down to pee Doug, this feeling you have about remotes and watching Oprah will pass! Hey, I had to endure the channel stutter surf for a full hour and a half back in October when my buddy first got satellite TV. I swear he never spent more than a minute on any channel in that hour and a half. I had to give up and read climbing magazines, it was that bad. And hey, sitting down to pee means you don't have to open your eyes, makes it easier to go back to sleep. Hmmm, maybe that answer's Bug's question.

You mean incessantly changing the channel every five seconds until all 200 channels have passed, then starting over to see what they missed? I'd rather watch Oprah for two hours than put up with Attention Deficit Remote Disorder.

Yeah, all jokes about submitting them to me for testing aside, you should feel just fine about using those. As Curt mentioned, tie up some new slings, 1" tube in various colors for size identification and knotted up works just fine for cheap. I like a slightly longer sling than stock on those. I'm a tall guy, so the extra length on the rack is no big deal and I prefer the sling extension, but YMMV.

Yup, pins instead of milled in cam stops. Looks a lot like my rack. Looks like you've got the fat trigger bars rather than the earlier skinny ones. Probably more like 15 than 10 years?

LET ME BE THE SEVENTH TO POST IN THIS IMPORTANT THREAD!

Folks, that's why he's called The Uberator.

Lotta good advice here, and it really sounds like you need a break Rudy. You'll be worth more to the company if you enjoy being there again when you return, and if they don't want you back, then maybe it's not really your dream job anyway. I've never heard anyone wish they'd worked more before they died, so if you can work it financially and your family is behind you, you should give it a shot. Maybe this will be the year you get into skiing.

Oh really? Source on this? Know anyone that it's happened to? Credible news reports? Folks I know working in parts of that system have far more serious abuses to deal with than kids swatted on the butt. "CPS took my kid because I spanked him in the grocery store" is one of those things that smack of urban myth and cover story, like Reagan's much vaunted Welfare Queen with a stable of Cadillacs, which was also a total fabrication.

I think Kevin has a golden retriever in the woodpile, it makes him amiable and enthusiastic. Uhh, I mean that in a good way.

Are you drinking With me Jesus, I can see you very clear I know you can walk on the water But can you walk on this much beer? The Beat Farmers did such a splendid version of this song. 2lPsJqebXT0

It takes a lot of colors to make a rainbow, but I'm just not wired that way. The goal with children is that they learn self-discipline. I've done alright without spanking for 25 years of parenthood, but maybe I'm just lucky. My kids have definitely learned to advocate for their position: I don't tend to be autocratic and I'm open to debate, so they opt for reason rather than blind obedience. That's what happens when you raise your children to think their opinion matters.

Why are the Republicans like a bunch of 40 foot penises? Sometimes it seems like there's just no end to those pricks.

Okay, it's officially time for the Son of the Return of Olympia Climbing Wednesdays at the quarry in Tenino. Every Wednesday from 4:30 on, PM me for directions if you haven't been before. Fine appurtenances Black Elvis 11a Here's an old photo of the far right end showing a few of the 35 routes out here. Some of the info is obsolete: Hercules and Calvin & Hobbes are 10b, Shaking Hands With The Governor has a direct finish that's harder than 10b if you're under 5' 10", and all routes in this shot are now bolted for the lead.

Uh, not in my country please.

No third term.

Was that the route it came from? Eeesh, I could go my whole life without getting that bug you had.

Yes Dawg, that's a pretty crude and distasteful troll attempt. While it's guaranteed to get a rise from you, it's pretty damned icky.

If Hillary were my VP I'd be sure to employ a food taster.
