That's about right. It takes 21 hours from Seattle to Laguna Beach. It takes 7 hours from Yosemite to Laguna Beach.

I've noticed that the Republicans seem to be more upset about this than the Democrats. What's up with that? The Dems are supposed to be the upholders of liberty and freedom. The Repubs are traditionally the law and order party.

Sounds like the one, but unfortunately no pictures. Well, maybe it was fortunate.

There was a story on the TV about a woman who wanted to look like barbie and set out to do so through cosmetic surgery. I think I saw the lead in, but not the actual story itself. A gold star to whoever can google up the story. If I had to guess there may be several to choose from.

Running the park the other day, I DID notice that the local snaffles were unusually frisky. Is this snaffle mating season or something?

Goes to show you any cam can be gotten stuck if you try hard enough. Since that is Vantage, the $10,000 prototype could easily be recovered with just a little chiselling.

Differences only come out when you are talking about steep terrain. It probably doesn't matter at all for moderate hiking.

You fellows seem to know a lot about this stuff. Personal experience?

Can anyone come up with photos of her taken before the injections?

There is a cell line used in lab experiments called HeLa. It is immortal. It came from a woman named Henrietta Lacks in 1951 from a cervical cancer that killed her within 8 months of diagnosis. Part of her is alive in many places all over the world.

Gotta put the suffix "gate" after every scandal. Nixon's legacy to America.

Good for you, we need more religon mixed up on these climbing threads, so good for you. Hell yeah, just one more thing to fight over!

Get out the Wagner, baby!

Are you one of those kooky Scientologists?

Not only are comparisions odious, but I also strongly dislike them.

Thank you for your interesting perspective.

It's got to be fun first, otherwise I won't do it. I find that if I compare myself to the rock stars, I just get discouraged. If instead I just focus on incremental improvement, I have more fun.

I think he really wants to talk to a shrink, but he's substituting cc.com for therapy. It's cheap and there are lots of willing, and not so willing "listeners". I'd say we are a poor substitute for the doctor's couch.

If you had that down you'd have to be Chongo.

I think it is not ethical to be talking about these people, even if you don't name names.

Mike, this explains how he gets you do do all the run out pitches. Control through mental telepathy. (MisterE to Layton's brain) Mike, this splitter crack sucks balls. You better give it to MisterE. (Layton with glazed look on face) Yes, master. Please give me the runout, chossy, death pitch. Pulllleeezeee!

New York Gully comes to mind, but I've not done it myself.

Speak for your cynical self, cowboy. You are clearly holding forth on a subject about which you are little informed. Some of the best people who ever lived were self-sacrificing, altruistic and deeply religious. Some of the kindest and most generous and compassionate people I know today are "religious". Lots of folks love to point fingers at the poor behavior of certain individuals who claim to subscribe to a certain religion, but the fact remains: the dubious antics of Jerry Falwell etc. are not representative of Christians in general nor does Osama Bin Laden represent Islam as a whole. Get some perspective, dude. By the way, Free Chongo. My perspective is this. More people have lost their lives in war and murder because of religion than from any other cause. You can keep your religion.

And so now the question is, "how did it go?"
