  1. Are you talking in the '90's? Are you fucking kidding? Why was our military over there then? Why was Sarejevo a smoking ruin in the years after the Olympics? Am I way off base here? I could be. You are way off bae Sarajevo is in the Balkans in a different nation. The Czech Republic has Prague, and Slovakia has Bratislava. Edit: Note to self... read entire post before pointing out the obvious flaw in someone's ignorant post.

  3. It was 80 in a 70! Going down hill in the middle of the day! I was very pissed. The good thing is that I'd been doing 80 up the Oregon side of the Gorge where the limit is 60, then got busted just after crossing the river and getting into the 70 MPH zone.
  4. Total or as a %? See the 1890s and 1930s for reference.
  5. at least you are doing something right.
  6. I think a lot of it is mental. (until digits begin freezing off)
  7. I can second the experience of dealing with two customer service people on teh same day, with the same problem, and getting two different responses.
  8. There's a lot of luck in this version, the landmines move every time.
  9. I got caught coming north to the TRi-cities after just crossing over from Oregon. (there's a WSP HQ near there)
  10. I drive that stretch every weekday and I'm constantly scanning for cops. I see, on average, 1 cop every 2 weeks or so. I wouldn't say that is too heavily patrolled. How about Saturday morning? I give you 1:1 odds you'll find the State Patrol on the median at that time, waiting for the weekenders heading for BC. According to "The Hamster Index", more tickets were issued at the Fairhaven Exit last year than any other place in Washington. Beware Squamish Travellers! THE MAN is so suck. What is the Hamster Index?

  12. In between PDX and Gov Camp it seems like Sandy is the place to watch out at.

    US military news

    Was there recently some kind of announcement about Bush and Co. setting up an official news bureau or something like that In Iraq to report the "real Truth" of the events and bypass typical for-profit jounralists? Am I imagining that I heard a news report?
  14. troy, you do know that there is some long-haired crazy looking guy grabbing you from behind in that picture, right?

    My tale of woe

    Okay, Muffster....what are the first two???? ' since you have the rated. - TG Funny you ask beer god, becuase you are involved in both. Your trip ans subsequent internal struggles onrainer when you got lost and your GPS froze, and you and tex on yokum last year. in that order. Now I got to dig these up and read them, they are, afterall, #1 and #2 all time TRs. I couldn't find them in search though.. you remember thread names ro any other details>?
  16. thanks for the info, i'll give the cascade traverse over a try if I feel rich enough to go day skiing there again. I found this http://www.spiritone.com/~carpjam/html/hood/heather.htm with some pertinent pics too. What is Newton Ridge?
  17. I skied the heather canyon area of meadows yesterday for the first time, enjoyed it thoroughly. However, only the lower section was open. (Looks like it was lower 3/4 or so) I could see tracks way across the canyon to the far wall and what looked like some nice lines coming down, while some followed the opposite wall of the canyon all the way down to the HC chair before dropping in opposite Jack's Woods. How the heck do people get over there to start with? Can it be reached from a meadows lift, do you have to hike/skin up, or a comnbination of both? Cascade Express wasn't really operating and there were still a lot of tracks on top of the fresh snow from the night before.

    yeah, i'm lazy, notice that i also didn't make a poll out of it... because of the laziness and opportunity cost therein. "Dru" doesn't really sound like it took all that much creative thinking either chief. Trask(')s Basement
  20. You should never seriously weight train 3 days in a row.
  21. So there are a lot of goods names picked that people use here, some really clever or just funny sounding, but all are entertaining. Anyone got a favorite? Harry Pi Muffy the Wanker Sprayer Sketchfest .... and probably many more

    Glad you are safe, hope your hand and foot recover soon. That is some very good writing.
  23. why is this on the climbers forum?
  24. White males in general are afraid of calling themselves liberals. Yet in the same studies they often allow themselves to be categorized as "liberal." what does this mean? I have no clue. However, I think if you vote for an initial (D/R) and not a person and that person's values and past accomplishments, you are not voting wisely. Maybe Klenke's conservatism clashes with much of the de-facto republican policy.
  25. Klenke's post is what's makes this POS(B) thread worthwhile.
