Well, I guess I'm doomed. I love all of the following cited in the article. "Vegetables such as cauliflower, broccoli, cabbage, brussels sprouts, onions, artichokes, and asparagus Beans Fruits such as apples, pears, and peaches Whole grains, such as whole wheat and bran "

I'm sick and tired of having to get onto the freeway stuck behind drivers who think 40 mph is an okay speed to merge into traffic going 60 mph.

I really got a virus- a rhinovirus. My throat is very sore right now. I picked up some of those zinc lozenges. Hopefully they's do the trick.

The Alpine Bod harness doesn't even have a belay loop and no one worries about triaxial loading with that one.

Both ways are safe. I like having the biner vertical so that the ATC is horizontal. The rope gets twisted less if it is going straight across the ATC.

He wouldn't have gotten out of the crevasse without that rope.

I'm at work. These computers have every antivirus/ antihack/ firewall software known to man. Besides, if I get a virus, I'll just call IT.

It happens all the time that my daughter will be talking on the phone to her boyfriend. There will be a knock on the door, she'll answer it and there he is cell phone to his ear.

When you read Ms. Tauber's quote, think of a high pitch valley girl voice. The article didn't get into it too much about why people behave the way they do. That is, why they just "decide" that they aren't going to bother to learn anything- because it's just "hopeless".

Not so easy to cut and paste. You get a lot of crappola you have to delete.

I thought this article was pretty amusing. You have to have a New York Times account to read it. Geeks Put the Unsavvy on Alert: Learn or Logoff

I'm wiff Muffy. Mexican food just tastes right after a big climb. I guess it's the muchos calories. It tastes even better with a Dos Equis or a Bohemia.

RobBob, you must be referring to this: So the farmed salmon were 0.05 parts per million, the wild were 0.015 and the FDA standard was 2 ppm. These standards get lowered all the time as more data is collected. For example, as people begin to eat more and more fish, the standards will need to be lowered accordingly because of the greater exposure.

You are putting words in my mouth.

We need some new topics. The old ones are plumb wore out. It would be nice if we got some from other than the usual suspects (Dru, PP, ChucK, HRoark, me, etc.). I notice vegie belay has been jumping in lately. Good for him. An no more trask related topics.

Christ Almighty, it can't get worse than this. Hey, where the heck is Johnny_Destiny, anyway?

That must have been a fun date CBS The chicks just dig that shit.

Yes, yes, and yes. But then why did Big Jim carry two completely frozen water bottles to the top of Everest and back? The old brain doesn't always work too good up there.

The photos really capture the "ambience" of Meth Lab, don't they?
