Maybe you should consider changing your Avatar to something else...I think "LUCKY" might be jinxing you.

birds? count us in!

The only thing I remember from drivers ed is the day we learned to drive on the interstate. The instructor stuck me in the drivers seat and another couple of kids in the back seat, and directed us toward the interstate. Once we were cruising down the road he settled back into his seat and dozed off! (keep in mind this is in the middle of the Great Plains with absolutley nothing around) About 45 minutes later we made some noise and woke him up. He had us take the next exit, change drivers, and head back toward home. He noted that the furthest he'd ever gotten before waking up was Milford, another 30 miles down the road.

no.....don't ruin her glee....

Last week's home of pub club, the Kort Haus, had some pretty unique offerings: exotic meat Burgers including Alligator, Antelope, Black Bear, Buffalo, Camel, Caribou, Elk, Kangaroo, Llama, Ostrich, Reindeer, Venison, wild Boar, and Yak. And Muffy, nice job on spelling 'carniverous'. quick...someone grab the pagetop!

Matt, 2 things to consider about your points (strictly in the spirit of discussion and education rather than harshing): Cultural resources may be a bigger issue than pictographs. Old cabins, sites of old buildings that have long since burnt down or rotted away, trash heaps/dumps, trails, paths, and burial sites are all considered 'cultural resources' if they're of a certain age. On federal land and for projects that are even partially funded by federal money, the project area must have a cultural resources survey performed to identify and catalog any such resources, or to rule out their existence. Endangered species issues are also a bit more complicated than portrayed. Even if there's plenty of suitable habitat for an endangered species in the area, if that particular species lives in or uses an area impacted by the route (or climbers accessing the route) then there could be a ruling of 'adverse effect' for the project. Typically a biological assessment (BA)is performed to provide the information necessary to make that determination. In the event of a minor project, it is possible that a 'letter of no effect' can substitute for the full blown BA. I know virtually nothing about this area/project in particular, but I do work with the cultural resources and ESA issues on a pretty regular basis. Obviously if the area has been developed for snow machine users as heavily as you've indicated, the ESA issues may not be a big deal here. I look forward to seeing how this all turns out! ESA = Endangered Species Act

Last night I was the joyous recipient of a plate full of spicy beef tendons with bean curd and mushrooms. Needless to say, this morning's movement was quite exciting. pheasant, quail, rabbit, squirrel, frog, fish, elk, buffalo, antelope, white tail deer, alligator, snapping turtle, moose, ostrich, wild boar, and way too many unidentifiable morsels in various asian dishes.

And oh so many of them feel compelled to display their lack of intelligence right here in the Spray section.

We had a RR xing back home that we'd jump after school sometimes. The weak springs in the rear end of my 76 Nova made for some good sparks and noises on the landing.

tasty

can you say 'shrapnel'?

I can see tons of uses for holes drilled in basalt. anchors to stabilize dangerous flakes, anchors for handrails, foundations for foot bridges, for cameras or sensors, for nest boxes, for 'fee area' signs, for gates, guy wires.....and tons of other uses. But, yes, I'm curious too.

don't worry, it's OK....I do this all the time....
