Humans have been subject to a wide array of selective pressures throughout evolution. Our ability to adapt to a variety of environments or to shape our environment is a reflection of this.

I already use that. That's good practice.

What is a "dummy runner" used at the belay?

Latona is fine with me. It's still on my way home. Latona at 65th Street Latona By Green Lake, Seattle Tavern 6423 Latona Ave NE (206) 525-2238 By the way, there is a balcony in the back of the place. Make sure you all look up there for the group.

Thank you, that was much better.

I actually wonder if in some ways we are regressing. If you compare the family size between people with positive genetic traits and those with less postive traits it is possible that some who shouldn't be passing on their genes are doing it with more frequency than those who should.

I'm in. How about something North of Ballard?

No, I was referring to a recent local (Seattle) event in which two young men were struck by a train they apparently couldn't hear because of the loud music they were listening to.

Busy tracks + night + fog + boom box = not good

Even a cursory examination would reveal the latter to be the case.

The rare instance Dru posts something meaningful and you dump on it. Well what goes around comes around, eh?

Yes, yes, yes, and No (you'll settle for V4 boulderers, 'cause that's all you'll attract by then).

I'll bet that Hell, MI freezes over on a regular basis. I also bet that its residents have heard this quip before.

Did you coin that word? Nagativity = Nagging + Negativity. Excellent.

Generally you want to make sure punctuation and spelling are correct in these kinds of statements...

None of us has all the facts so just keep pretending you know exactly what happened.

Nonsense, poopy-pants! No one can say for sure, but the GriGri could have made the difference between an ordinary leader fall and decking.
