And I'd like some bakelite bangles to go with that.

I actually believe that my attraction for this woman is true love, who the hell is she and how do I get her to marry me? She's not single--and her boyfriend is pretty cool, so you may be waiting a while. Just to make it worse for you--she's not just hot, she's super fun to be around. Good luck to you

I have a fabulous pair of Authier skis that were lovingly built with a thin wood layer on top. Even though they are new, they do look like an old school pair of sticks. Folks who don't recognize the name will ask me where I got these old suckers. I just tell 'em I found them in my dad's garage and thought I'd see if they still worked.

FYI; cable bindings, such as Rivas, are flexible enough not to require a release mechanism. With proper adjustment, you'll blow out of the binding if it all goes wrong. Others, such as Voiles, have release options. I use the same ski crampons as AT folks. As for the rest; well, that's all personal preference, fitness, and skill. My bindings do release, thankfully. I was a little concerned about it, but I think I got over that fear when I started snowboarding (the fear of having equipment stuck to me while going ass over teakettle down the hill).

Way to go, Oly!!!! Will you bring me my tarps back now? And to the OlyFamily--hang in there! This must be hard on you all--stay strong. Oly is lucky to have you.

maybe she just doesn't think you are amusing oh and by the way and can dish it and take You are making me feel so randy.

So if I go out wearing just my crack gloves and bruises, I'll meet some great dirtbags, right?

To be at someone's beck and call or be at someone's beckon call?

what do you mean?

Sweet!

I didn't think about that, but yeah, I guess it's true. Unless they like working at a shitty place; IOW, they were managers.

You can look at my tele pics...

Funny. True and funny. At least it doesn't hurt so much during--mostly after. That puts tele one notch above crack climbing on the old comfortometer.

I think Oly would appreciate the humor

The bruise is bad too, huh?

Good thinking

I went and tele skied and all I got was this bruise. Ugly Uglier There must be an easier way down the mountain...

You know, the ignore user option is lovely.

Sweet--I live close to the Copper Gate. Always wondered what it was like in there.

DeC's story is a perfect illustration of when it is fully justified to shoot and kill someone. Even if the past violence was not known, it is clear that Paul was a threat to both the father and the son. When someone runs at you after you have fired a warning shot (to get them to stop pummeling your family member), you pretty much got to defend yourself by whatever means you have.

well i guess i'm not the hottest after all. my personality sucks, i'm dumb as a post and i can't belay 5.14 but damn i look good. hmmm... i think maybe arch or muffy. they look good and have great personalities. mythosgrl seems cool but i don't know what she looks like. i still say the most important thing about any chic posting on the internet is how she looks. I think I'll volunteer the muffmeister for this one--but thanks for the vote of confidence

Today I got a letter from my best friend who is back in the field for a second year of service. I'll write back and send the card tomorrow.
