Speaking of which, whatever happened to rat?

Can't you recognize a rocket launcher? He's Al Queda.

Absolutely, I'll buy the first pitcher. It's going to be a hoppy ale.

That sour look on his face is just perfect. We need a caption.

They have liberty. They just want the government to give them jobs instead of starting their own business.

A small setback?

Well if you've seen her you'd believe she was a cheerleader.

Damn, that's a fall from 25 ft. Looks like he hit grass, just missing concrete by a small margin.

Yes, you are probably right about that. There is a key snag that one needs to rap from that most likely would be buried in a big snow year. It seems that the gully is the way to go in winter.

It's going to do some serious storming up there this weekend. You might reconsider.

Here he is pre-incarceration:

1/5 of a second

Rioting doesn't seem like the most logical way to protest discrimination. Rather, I think it will help ensure it.

The same thing that happened to Pube Club. Not enough beer lovers.

There was for a short time a brew pub on lower Queen Anne Avenue that served a "Wheaten Beer". This was around 1990. I no longer recall the name of the place. The brew was cloudy and tasty.

Ventura is a modern-day Malthus. Malthus was wrong about population growth. I think Ventura is wrong about America's ability to adapt to higher gas prices.

*politicians* of both parties engage in obfuscation and misdirection, but liberal politicians favor semantic pedantry. but liberals, who are NOT politicians, choose these tactics far more often than their opponents, because it is the liberal who sees himself as a nuanced, sophisticated intellectual, and it is the liberal who concocts complicated rationalizations for flimsy ethical positions, engages in semantic games to obfuscate and change the subject, proposes endless false analogies, and cites theoretical hypotheticals and utopian platitudes ad nauseum. Yes, that may be true but we are not nearly as good at putting forth unsupported assertions with the same glib aplomb that you conservatives do.

Wine tasting at Cave B.

I've not heard of it. Describe it please.

Hemlock water. At least it isn't chlorinated.

Some people argue that Seattle's water SHOULD be subject to the same rigorous purification standards applied elsewhere. Although Cedar River water is low in minerals, which is why it tastes good, it can be high in dissolved organics. When chlorine is added it reacts with these to form trihalomethanes, such as chloroform. Filtration would remove or lower levels of organics prior to chlorination, but it is expensive, so Seattle resists implementing it.

It would seem Vantage is about the only place with a prayer of being dry. Who'd be up for day trip for either sport or trad climbing? I don't care how much or how little experience you may have.

America is its own worst enemy.
