IN THE SPIRIT OF BIPARTISANSHIP: HERE'S ANOTHER ONE. 'Democratic Rep. Eric Massa will resign from Congress on Monday, only days after reports first surfaced that the freshman New York lawmaker was under investigation by the House ethics committee for allegedly sexually harassing a male staffer.' http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0310/34001.html ANYONE LEFT IN THE CAPITOL THERE?

2010 Beacon Rock Peregrine Monitoring Journal
billcoe replied to JosephH's topic in Columbia River Gorge
It was bolted AFTER it had been ascended with gear was what I understood. Wayne Wallace, I heard, had climbed that long time before he moved out of the area. Regardless, it's neither here nor there. Ozone already has enough bolts for most folks and it's a short drive if one wants to clip things:-) -

Whoa...that's a ....well...masterpiece is an overused word, but certainly well spoken, thoughtful and well written tome. To add to JH's words, if the birds are nesting: S. Side of Beacon will be closed. You will not change that no matter how much you either wail or become involved. Sorry, but dems the facts jacks. We were going to look at working on getting the West Side and the S side hiking trial open this year, but I confess to you all, I don't have the energy or the mindset to dog it. The process got started if anyone wants to pick up that ball..... Meantime, there are plenty of old routes on the N side just gathering moss and withering away you folks can jump on....brush off a few leaves here and there.....:-) -
Well I hadn't, but thanks for the lesson! http://online.logcabin.org/ It's not too early to post the dudes pic on Fairweathers dirty democrat thread.

Don't know if that's karma. Hope you get your stuff back Nate. Do you have any pictures? Was your stuff marked with tape or paint? What color(s)? Markings on them or shoes? (like I wrote my name, with Left and Right on each shoe, the pair I bought off Andrew, I wrote "ANDREWS SHOES!" on with black felt tip markers -it makes Andrew happy to see them used) I've taken to marking my colors of blue and yellow with paint, AND writing my name on the slings of all cams for instance. Then I've taken to doing pics of gear so that when I do have to argue with the insurance guy I have evidence. That sucks, lot of gear for sure - Good luck.

no shit... its been a little under 18 hrs since justin presented the "smoking gun." never woulda figured that it would take that long to get another entry... Come on, it could be that JH finally realized that his wife, home and work is more important than Beacon, monitoring, or giving any kind of a crap about this any more dudes. Long after we're all dead and gone, the rock will still be there. Of course, hopefully I go last....:-) -
I'm not sure what this pic is, but this seemed like the best place to put it. Look at the deer on the couch??!! Here's what it says: "People in Schuylkill County (where I grew up) have a warped sense of humor. It must be something in the coal-infused water. This is the pull off at SR 61 and Adamsdale Road. A deer was hit there. The couch was dumped there previously. Day two: the deer was on the couch. Day three: the end table and lamp showed up. Day four: the TV and TV stand showed up. The Trooper had to call PENN DOT because of all the people stopping to take pictures. PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO THE SIGN. The cardboard caption in front of the deer on the couch reads, “Sorry Hunters. Obama ruined healthcare. We can’t afford to have injured hunters on our conscience, so I’m staying home! Sorry, the Deer.”"

That's interesting....my little bother is heading down there right now as I type this to run the Antarctica marathon with 95 other crazies.

It would have been nice if he'd run out of pictures of lowlifes who happen to represent us a long time ago....soon he'll have to start posting pics of Republicans..... won't he? ..ok, here we are...Zimzam steps up.

..or bitches and hoes.... jb, thanks for the heads up and "THE REST OF THE STORY". I hate being manipulated, that kind of shit really pisses me off, despite how common it is. With any luck, the slander litigation will rebound hard, although isn't the smarmy pimp actor still in jail for wiretapping a Congresswoman?

Trip Report - Rooster Rock Attempt 8-25-09
billcoe replied to Corduroy Man's topic in Columbia River Gorge
Never swim with your gear son unless there is no other alternative, the stuff is too heavy and cumbersome and you will most likely immediately sink like a rock and drown. Don't clip it off to your harness if you chose to ignore this advice, put it on a gear sling with a long runner attached. Anytime you are climbing over rivers, you can rig a long sling to your gear sling so if you have to drop it off due to a fall into the river, as long as the cord is longer than the river is deep, you won't sink and you can pull your gear out. Keep a knife handy in case you misjudge the distances and get pulled under and have to cut it anyway. Wish I had a picture of Wiss falling into the muddy banks of the river when his pitons zippered. Rock on! -
I want to see pics of Republicans....Larry craig?

Is this the much vaunted Mexican illegal health insurance fund thinggy? Cause if you start tossin' around billions, pretty soon it might add up to real money! Well, anyway, there's no crisis, we all know that the taxpayers have unlimited money, just tell them YOU WILL PAY OR ELSE and that will be that. They can model the NEW "Improved" Washington tax form on the old Irish model which was finally discontinued only after their economy sunk deep into the toilet. Here's a sample: "Party on"....with no idea.

Yes, we need gun control like Mexico. That way, at least the cops, who of course remain armed, can pick up extra cash by kidnapping the citizens subjects. http://www.theage.com.au/articles/2004/06/28/1088392599561.html Then at the end of the day (like the million some odd folks gathered in the picture above claiming that the police are behind all these thousands of kidnappings and continually victimizing them in other ways) you can protest and squeal like a pig all you'd like since your constitution guarantees the right to protest: the politicians and their armed cronies still have you by the short hairs since they retain the real power. Of course, you'd still have a "free" press right? Frankly, speaking for myself, I much rather trust all of you to be carrying firearms than just allowing the government to control that, see, I feel that many of them are untrustworthy and it only takes one power hungry dude like Hitler, Pol Pot, Stalin etc to ruin your day life, while most of you are honest folks. Bottom line: I trust YOU more than I trust THEM. At the end of the day, freedom isn't free. You don't get something for nothing.

It's total bullshit that we as a country are still operating with the energy policy Jimmy Carter laid down, with some tweaks to tear it apart by Reagen. "Conservation" seems to be a dirty word. In fact, during Bush 2, da gobment was giving tax write offs for small business owners to buy the huge Expeditions, Durangos and Suburbans. The least we could do is categorize those things that would cost little to zero to implement and do those NOW while the debate continues. Somehow, it often seems that in the US, they manage by crisis... and if it ain't a crisis, and it ain't money going home to the district, then it's just ignored. Until it becomes a crisis.

That's a hell of an idea, hopefully it helps the family and friends with some closure as well. Good luck to those doing the project!
