Lugged my new 4.5 to Vantage thinking I might try Blue Autumn. It was so windy and cold we just clipped bolts in stead. I am so suck.

You win.

Good on yer mate!

I detect the barest hint of disillusionment.

Can anyone tell me what is the earliest in the season they have been able to climb at Static Point?

My dad used to play the Brass when I was a kid and actually thought it was a band, rather than one guy. More recently my neighbor went on a TJB kick and was playing it incessantly along with Gordon Lightfoot to the point where I got sick of them both.

My response is what is the alternative? Judges, that what. Judges are becoming the object of political pressure like never before. Lots of money is being spent on them now at election time. I still believe in the jury system because of a distrust in government. How about that, a liberal who distrusts government?

There is a good reason why a large percentage of these swindles appeal to the most devout. It works.

UV resistence will depend on the type of plastic. I believe that the older Ecrin Roc were made of ABS which is quite resistent to UV. The newer models are made of polycarbonate which is not.

I got the last one at Redmond. The online catalog is sold out too. Try Lynnwood.

Score! REI Half-Price Sale. Regular price, $97.50. Sale price, reflecting introduction of new C4, $59.83. Half price sale on items ending in ".83", $29.92. I am the proud new owner of a boat anchor.

This professor is not a scholar and certainly not a gentleman. It is never right to commit an injustice to correct an injustice.

There must be some reason why guys stay with psycho bitches.

They aren't going to do that, even if it is true.

What do you want us to say? Stewart isn't going to get any sympathy from me. She seemed to think that because she was acting in her official capacity as a lawyer that she was beyond the reach of the law. To her dismay, she discovered that the law applies to all equally.

I saw this story on the front page of todays Post Intelligencer. To summarize, a violent rapist convicted in 1985 was up for parole. A jury was asked to decide on October 2003 if he should be committed under the state Civil Committment Act. The jury's task was to decide whether the man had a greater than 50% chance of reoffending. The man had gotten religion in prison, that is, he converted to the Jehovah's Witness faith. The psychologist testifying for the State said that because of his religion, the man had refused treatment for his aggression towards women. Because of this, he would be expected to be more likely to reoffend. Furthermore, the psychologist testified that the statistics show that religion does not have any significant effect on recidivism. The jurors felt otherwise, and to the surprise of prosecutors, voted to release the man. Within months he was attacking women in the U District, two in an elevator, and one in her Eastside apartment. So here are my questions to you. 1) Do you think religion has the power to turn someone away from crime? If so are some religions better than others for this purpose? 2) Do you think that the specific teachings of Christianity played a role in the jury's decision? Christianity teaches the sins can be forgiven and some sects seem to emphasize this above living a good and just life. Seattle PI Story I almost forgot the point I really wanted to make, which was this strikes me as similar to the Bush reelection, in which voters allowed religion to cloud their good judgement and acted against their own self-interest.

Ran over a piece of metal debris on 520 this morning. I had no time to react or room to maneuver. Big clunk. There's a good chance the tire is punctured- I don't know yet. Then I get to work 5 minutes later and my seatbelt wouldn't release. I fiddled with it for 5 minutes and finally had to wriggle out from under it. The brightside is that fresh donuts were waiting at work, so maybe the day will end okay after all.

It's nice and sunny outside. Anyone care to climb at Marymoor Rock in Redmond over a long lunch hour? I have ropes and draws, PM me or just show up at noon.

Taken to its logical conclusion, this means that birth control is illegal.

Did you want the story? If there is a point it is be careful what you flush down the toilet. A life could be at stake.

The problem is that I don't have a vanilla flavored job description. In order to sell you they need to have a clue about what you do.

At least one judge says it's murder.

In a year and a half I not only did not get a single good lead, but I got lots of junk mail in exchange.

It goes to show that you can't be too careful about who you call your "friends".

Don't waste your time with Monster, is all I can say if you are in the tech fields. It pays to network. Every good job I've ever gotten involved networking in some form.
