Minx used to do Alpental to Bothell every day.

90 minutes from Shoreline to Bellevue. The distance is about 17 miles. Nominal commute time 23 min. Actual average speed 11 mph. When I lived in California, I used to commute from Costa Mesa to Irwindale and it usually took 90 min. The distance was ~45 miles.

On the Robin and Maynard radio show yesterday they interviewed a guy who manufactured and marketed hats that protected their wearers from thought- controlling rays from Aliens. It seems that the people who buy these hats have all been abducted previously by space aliens and now seek protection from continued mind control.

You really ought to specify "Climbing Partner". You know that belay is a loaded word on this site.

If you have to ask you can't afford it.

Frankly I am amazed at how little comment this proposal has elicited. This is horrible. The 1872 mining law needed amending, but instead of making it better, this makes it even worse!

How did they get the rope up there through that thingy?

Yes. Tuesday is so passe. Wednesday would be good.

The last person to get his/her own Graemlin was Snugtop.

So how'd it go? Anyone show up?

Which? Iraq? or this thread? You'd have to ban ChucK.

How about "Stop at dat dere phone booth. I gotta make some calls".

Right. Now you no longer wonder. You know for a fact they do.

Depends on whether you can climb 5.11d or harder.

I don't know anyone who needs new gear, or do I?

Juniperus chinensis var. Sargentii?

That, is known as an aptonym.
