What makes you so sure they didn't air the story knowing full well the documents were fakes? By retracting the claim of authenticity, they were able to make it an even bigger story than it otherwise would be. The attention on Bush's Guard record goes on and on, longer than if the smoking gun actually existed.

We were a bunch of 6-8 year olds sitting around the campfire with our dads and we were being obnoxious. Finally they said, "go make your own fire". So one of the kids took a flaming brand and we started out own little camp fire several yards away. One of the kids got a little too enthusiastic and put so much wood on he extinguishing the fire. Another kid ran off saying, "I know how to get it going again". He came back with a styrofoam cup. I said, "what's in the cup". He said, as he was pouring it on the fire, "gasoline". WHOOSH! A wall of flame shot up right next to my face. It was a miracle nobody got burnt.

There is plenty of legal precedent for regarding the mineral rights below a property as separate from the surface of the land and the air rights too for that matter.

Mattp has told me to run madly backwards if I fall on slabs. Somehow I have managed to avoid falling on slabs, but most certainly the time will come.

These sort of things happen with kids. You can be the best parent and stuff still happens. When I was a kid my brother and I were in the Y-Indian Guides with my Dad. We went on a camping trip to Doheny State Beach down near San Juan Capistrano. We were all walking near an estuary that had these nice, rounded rocks, perfect for throwing. Some kid tossed a fist-sized rock and hit my brother in the head, opening up a good sized gash. The kid didn't mean to throw it at my brother. His aim was off. So what is it with boys and sticks anyway? When my son was two years old, we were walking and he found a stick, picked it up and started waving it around. No one needed to teach him that. My daughter never got into sticks like that. The affinity for sticks must be hard-wired in boys.

Sounds like Seven Virgins and a Mule at Sunshine Wall, or else Shady Chimney.

Sorry to hear about your troubles. Consider posting to the Frenchman's Coulee Yahoo! group (FrenchmanCouleeClimbers@yahoogroups.com).

Welcome to cc.com. A number of us climb at SG. See you there.

Lame. Works better with bears.

Polyethylene has better chemical resistance than nylon. Getting anything to stick would be the biggest problem. If in doubt, just use electrical tape to mark your slings.

Either that or arrange for him to "misplace" his knife.

sendordie sounds a lot like Geordie, seeing as you are from Leavenworth.

The bitch is that I like what I do. I just wish my boss wasn't such a tyrannical fuck that micromanages the shit out of everything and plays favorites. I knew from a very young age that not being a kiss ass would be a hard road to walk. Some of the people I work with are so far up my boss's ass I'm surprised he can take a shit. It's disgusting to see people with no backbone slithering around his chair like he's some kind of god. It's positively repellant. They're always bitching at their wives and lecturing their kids over the phone. Again, repellant. And I'm sick of hearing about how viewing porn fucked up his computer at home and his non stop commentary on gay marriage and the general state of women; I won't even get into his making reservations for lunch at the STRIP CLUB. It's like fucking high school. Stop making comments on every woman that walks by, quit spraying your anti semitic bullshit, quit arguing with your wife over the phone, and for the love of god shut your fucking mouth about your political beliefs at work. Go home and get laid or take a day off to go shoot all your guns you talk so much about. Do something but for the love of god, LET ME DO MY FUCKING JOB IN PEACE. I feel a little better now. Dude, you have an out if you have the guts to take it. What you do is this. You start documenting all the things your boss does that are either illegal or against company policy, like sexual harrassment, doing personal things on company time, etc. See if you can't get a coworker who also hates your boss and whom you trust to do this too. Collect evidence for about six months. I'm talking about a journal in which you record exact date and times. Take pictures and make photocopies. Finally you unload this journal and other evidence on your boss's boss. Either it works and he gets fired, or it doesn't and you either get fired or quit. Either way you will be better off.

In fact, I did get up a 5.11 that evening. I haven't tried many. I have this quaint notion that I should be able to do any 5.10 first, but that I'm learning is dumb. There are plenty of V2's I can't do, yet I try the V3's. So I plan to try some more 5.11's and see what happens.

They had a facility in the Homestake Mine in North Dakota. The company plans to abandon the mine and flood it destroying millions of dollars in improvements. That is why they are looking for a new home for the laboratory.

I can only do one or two V3's. I'm weak.

Chance of precip Leavenworth: 45% Vantage: 27%

Almost all the money for the recall has come from one man, developer, Martin Selig. This is the guy who built the Columbia Tower. I think that he has some land that he will be forced to sell to the monorail, or property the value of which would be compromised, so he decided to kill the Monorail. Seattle Times Article

Vantage is a great place for kids if you just go to The Feathers. There is almost no rock fall there and there are easy routes the kids can do and have fun on, like Where the Sidewalk Ends, 5.1, the easiest route at the Coulee.

Chicken Dijon left over from last night. Ripe Orcas pears from my the tree in my back yard. An apple from my King apple tree.

I noticed this question never got answered. The road was built to the Bornite Mine around the turn of the century. It was improved an maintained for logging purposes. Although I am certain no one cares by now.

Jim, how do you expect me to reply to your PM if you are not accepting PM's and you don't have an e-mail address listed? If you see this, I'll get there between 7:30 and 8 and climb till they close.

I'm hungry for a peanut butter sandwich.

7:30 PM. Bouldering to V3 and toprope in the 5.10's.

This is all happening because people are bored. Controversy and emotion are what the hoi polloi want.
