  1. so were you just not able to convince the others on the jury or did you not vote w/ your gut? i'm pretty much fine w/ jurists ruling on their instincts, even if it's a mono y mono kinda thing. I was 19 at the time, and that was not what the judge told us as a jury. He said to pass a verdict based on the evidence we were presented. We deliberated for long time, but based on the evidence alone we could not convict. I and one other person took a lot of convincing, but based on the judges direction, there was not enough evidence to convict.
  2. Sounds like you're living the life Erik. Enjoy! I love the southwest, looking forward to getting back down there.

  4. Or build your own mobile home.
  5. DOES HE FLOAT? Seriously, shit like this happens everyday. I was on a jury for a case where we could *tell* something wasn't been said and the defendant was an obvious scumbag (case was spousal abuse). After we found the defendant not guilty based on the evidence, the judge came in and told us the stuff that we couldn't hear because it wasn't admissable as evidence...and the guy was beating his wife all the time, she would call the cops, and then later would not testify against him...it was like the fourth time it had happened. All that was admissable was the police report and the officers testimony (officer didn't show up).
  6. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Git_(insult) but my favorite is this: Git is technically an insult but has a twinge of jealousy to it. You'd call someone a git if they'd won the Readers' Digest Prize Draw, outsmarted you in a battle of wits or been named in Bill Gates' Last Will and Testament because of a spelling mistake. Like sod, it has a friendly tone to it. I'm told it derives from Arabic, where it describes a pregnant camel, of all things.
  7. My beautiful physical therapist told me she asked around the clinic (and they treat a lot of lymphodemia there using that massage technique that Mike mentions) and my case SHOULD NOT be permanent. Also, another week or two and I can start doing to strength building exercises. The cellulis has been clearing out of my arm pretty quickly.
  8. What about when you bouldering with crampons on? Is that mixed climbing? Or is it solo mountaineering? I think the Venn is our Friend for this thread.

  16. I'm not sure if its that exact one, but the bike repair shop right in the Junction in West Seattle (right by Easy Street Records) is going out of business selling EVERYTHING....and they have a pro quality Park stand in there that looks pretty close to that.
  17. Hidden behind a few trees, right next to the school: file type unknown
