HAHAHAHA...this is hilarious!

Yeah, and firing "warning shot" at people for no reason is also illegal. Last time I checked you can't just go capping off shots as you see fit. I'd leave the gun rights argument out of this one...I think the issue is the "self defense" argument is bullshit. Whether the guy was a legal gun owner or a thug carrying illegally doesn't matter to me...what matters is he shot somebody cause his dogs got out of control on a hike. I hate it when people's fucking dogs run up to me in the wilderness. I'm there for a wilderness experience and frankly would not run into others, let alone have their dogs come jump on me. Despite my dislike for this I hardly feel like I can blow away the dogs or the owner.

Heh. Too bad on that one it was actually Sun that gave everybody the screw job.

huh?

I'm not sure what some guy shooting another one unjustifiably has anything to do with gun control. Shooing some guy cause his dogs go raging is not a justifiable murder. Aruging that you should be able to shoot somebody for this along with aruging pro-gun stance just makes your motives look pretty perverse.

Fat Teddy, you are a fucking idiot. How the hell do you know what happened? Last time I checked violation of a leash law doesn't get the self-administered death penalty.

Is price an option? Marmot Helium is awesome, but quite expensive.

If my deranged uncle goes and kills a bunch of people, I'd rather not be targeted, thank you. But I will concede that I'm sure a lot of these people's familys are likeminded and I'd rather see their spawn dead than alive to avenge their father's death or something.

Check out the link to the Islam website they include. Lots of great answers to the questions I've always had such as "will I go to hell if I dont become Muslim?" The answer is yes by the way.

If somebody went further east this weekend and knows how much fell over there I would love to hear. I was thinking specific in the entiat and chelan mountains. Are they far enough east that they probably wouldn't have received the brunt of this storm? -josh

Scientology...what a load of shit. I wonder if Cruise or Travolta or any other of those whackos has bothered to talk to anybody who's life has been dramitcally improved by those two sciences; both through drugs and traditional counseling?!?

I would think any DWR product for recoating goretex, etc. would probably be your best bet.

You must be kidding. I swear I remember picking some up in banff last year to make PB&Js for ice climbing...??

Very true, the movie has about as much reality as the crap the bush-cheney campaign kicks out. If the movie somehow sways enough people to swing the vote against bush, then it'll be one of the best movies ever released, IMHO

yeah, the political uproar is idiotic. It's no different that the volcano ones wiping out LA or whatever. I'm not sure how it would alienate swing voters away from kerry. If anybody is dumb enough to vote based on a hollywood disaster movie...well...

I got a first hand report from my friend who was up guiding on shuksan this weekend. They were camped somewhere midway up the sulfide glacier (so about 7k I would guess) and he said they had got 14" of new when they packed up to leave. FW, have you tried to find any info on what fell on the east side of the crest? I have plans for mon/tues a bit further east and I'm wondering if they got any significant dumpage.

Oh god! It's an olympic peninsula access conspiracy and coverup!

Saw it tonight. So bad it's good! The special effects are definiltey pretty neat, so it's a much better theater movie than rental. The best part was the dipshit vice president and president who were obviously patterened after cheney and bush. The Cheney guy even sort of looked like a younger version of him. The bush guy, when confronted with some critical decision, just asks the cheney guy what to do...hahaha Pretty amusing all and all. Also featured was the charlet moser pulsar ice tool! and some north face tent (maybe a mountain 25) that they never managed to guy out very well. As expected the walls were always flapping about when they were in it.

1.) Similar to your electronics packages, those stupid packages they use at costco. Why does a fucking phone card need to be packages in 8 square feet of plastic!? 2.)Jackass seattle drivers. They can't merge, drive in the rain, get out of the left lane and numerous other things.

Damnit...you're right Well, at least more people will see it here until the mods move it You came up here in the night and stole my helmet, didn't ya, you bastard?

I lost my orange BD halfdome helmet sometime in the past month. I was convinced I had just misplaced it, but after searching everywhere, it looks like it's actually gone. If you have found such a helmet, I'd love to get it back. as reward.

I had this BD halfdome for like 1 month before I somehow lost it. I loved that helmet. And it was orange to boot!

Yeah, USAPhotomaps may be the best piece of software I've seen a long time! The slow fade between photos and topos is sweet!

Yup, BushCo screwed us all. NEVER FORGET.

If there is really 18" at higher elevations I am certainly glad...the glaciers need all the help they can get in the struggle against BushCo.
