The human needs a manicure.

I forgot to mention, to my knowledge, Simpson had only one or two ice screws with him.

Dru, you are a bad boy. The answer is all they had for an anchor was loose snow. There was no ice around that would take a screw. If Simpson had been able to reach the cliff face, he might have gotten a screw in there, but he was dangling in the air.

Wow, it is a tight race. No telling who will win.

As abominable as her actions were she cannot be held responsible for murder. It is not within the law. If society cares enough about unborn children of insane persons it should pass a law that allows temporary committment of pregnant women by a court order. I still believe that if a sane person decides not to consent to surgery that should be respected.

Can it be the moors (muslims) are still sore about being kicked out of Spain in 1609?

No entry found for wirlwind. Did you mean whirlwind? Suggestions: whirlwind hurlwind withwind wieland worland tailwind passwind Okay, I cheated and added that last one.

In Xanadu did Kubla Khan A stately pleasure-dome decree: Where Alph, the sacred river, ran Through caverns measureless to man Down to a sunless sea. So twice five miles of fertile ground With walls and towers were girdled round: And here were gardens bright with sinuous rills Where blossomed many an incense-bearing tree; And here were forests ancient as the hills, Enfolding sunny spots of greenery. But oh! that deep romantic chasm which slanted Down the green hill athwart a cedarn cover! A savage place! as holy and enchanted As e'er beneath a waning moon was haunted By woman wailing for her demon-lover! Samuel Taylor Coleridge might have been writing about Shasta, but more likely it was the opium.

The pundits are saying that the Spaniard will turn against their president if it is is established that the bombing was the work of Al Qaida. This is because 90% of the populace was against the Iraq war. I don't think this will happen. In fact I think that Spain will become more unified in the fight against terrorists.

u missspelled my name damit I started doing that a long time ago and now I can't stop.

I would like to campaign on behalf of wrlwind. While certainly his spelling sucks ass he deserves credit for attempting the more difficult words which he uses to express advanced concepts.

"It was so hot out, I saw a hound chasin' a rabbit and they was both walkin'!"

I guess we are all assuming that you don't need to work, aren't we? If that is the case, then only climbing access and cheap digs are the criteria. I'd live in Wenatchee or Twisp, probably. All the amenities, more sun than the west side. Close to good granite or skiing. There's fishing and water skiing too. Cost of living is less.

Well said. It's what it's all about.

That would imply either you are celibate or homosexual, wouldn't it? Welcome back Lummox. Where have you been-somewhere warm?

I just like it when I see people using their heads and expressing their views with logic and reason.

You have no idea how classic.

If trask were here, he'd be right proud of you.

Okay, so you are saying that as a tax payer, it all balances out. You pay for some other guy's use of the locks in Ballard, even though you don't use that service, so when some of his tax money goes to trails maintenance, it's even steven.

Get an earlier start than Leejams and I. 10:00 is not an early start.

Is it true or not true that Halliburton has not been paying its subcontractors on time?

They don't have a reasoned argument. They just don't like to pay. That's it. Let someone else pay. As far as they are concerned it is free land and it's already paid for, and it doesn't cost anything to maintain. The reality is it does cost money to maintain and the question is should taxpayers pay for 100% of the cost even though they may not derive any benefit from it? Formerly, FS lands were essentially all regarded as uncut lumber. The public in general benefited from its stewardship because affordable lumber benefits everyone. Now that many stands have been set aside for recreation, this is no longer the case. The cost benefit equation is now skewed in favor of those who actually use the land for recreation and against the vast majority who pay taxes, but don't use the land to recreate. Mark mentioned the RV industry. They have demonstrated an ability to get owners to pay license fees to raise money for the high cost facilities that are needed for their activities. It gives them a lot of clout that non-motorized users don't have. I don't like user fees any more than most of you do, but I realize that it is a lot more complicated than just saying NO!
