Quick, someone post Pat Buchanan's rant. It was precious.

What does scar tissue between your ears do? Not much I am afraid.

I'm looking for partners for Joshua Tree between Christmas and New Years. Exact dates are negotiable. I'll have a minivan. My interest is trad routes up to about 5.9 or low 5.10's.

He's right about that. You only develop calluses on the palms. The backs of your hands don't harden at all. Scar tissue weakens the skin over time.

How could you do a thing like that? Throwing away those copies?

Now it's time to move on to the next source of indoor air pollution- chalk dust! I saw this one chick getting ready to send a boulder problem dip up to her elbows in a bucket of chalk. Chalk is the addiction of the new millenium.

If you go, I hope you can get back!

I never realize there were so many ways to go astray. I guess since I'm condemned anyway, I better have as much fun as possible before I kick the bucket.

You tellin' me I'm not the center of the universe!?!

Cost per passenger is less for light rail because the capacity is much greater.

I stand corrected.

From what I've read, Bush had enough people telling him about possible chemical and biological weapons that one could give him the benefit of the doubt and say no lie there. But, those types of WMDs couldn't by themselves tip the balance in favor of war. For that, nukes were needed. There was even less certainty about Saddam's nuclear activities. Bush needed one shred of evidence to convince the public, because the aluminum tubes, by themselves weren't pursuasive. Hence, the manufactured document about the Yellow Cake uranium. There is your lie. The lashing out at Wilson was further evidence. That was the fatal mistake. The problem with Bush's style of take-no-prisoners politics is that when you play that way, people just are not predisposed to give you the benefit of the doubt when you screw up.

Let's hope so, but make no mistake, lightrail is many times more expensive per mile than a monorail and even more disruptive during construction.

Anthrax wouldn't count as a pandemic because it doesn't spread easily from person to person. Another good example is SARS.

Certainly, as an ice climber, you'd rather believe in La Nina. Time will tell, won't it?

From what I've heard we won't be getting La Nina. It will be neutral.

The two systems were complementary. They served different purposes. West Seattle is screwed now. Light rail may get to West Seattle one day, but it will be at least 20 years before it does.

Good luck banning cell phones at Starbucks!

I am so glad that I don't live in Seattle. The people of Seattle only get what they deserve. The monorail would have been a tremendous improvement in trasportation. Now they have nothing to show for the $300 million they have spent. What a waste!

Is this quote from the same Frank?

I broke down and bought a gym membership. Now I must use it or it's a waste of money.

It should be pointed out that the measure allows exemptions from the 25 foot rule for establishments that can prove that smoke from designated smoking areas will not be carried into the interior areas.

Of course we remember you. That's a great story. Heal up fast, man. Wait until B/D get's a hold of this story. They'll be all over it.
