TTK - he should split into 72 normal sized humans I don't want a piece of *that*.

I stand corrected. I still don't think they are an image of war. I disagree with the premise of this thread, but I have to say that I see the Blue Angels as an exhibition of US military might, and, yes, an image of war.

Kind of like climbing Everest.

I used to regularly attend the air shows at Moffett Field in the Bay Area which featured the Blue Angels (which flew A-4 aircraft at that time). I've only seen the Seafair show once in the last 16 years. I generally avoid crowds and events like Seafair, and it is of course prime time to be climbing not getting stuck in traffic on Mercer Island. The Blue Angels are not permitted to break the sound barrier during their shows. I'd like to see one of those planes do a fly by at low altitude and full throttle.

Antiques? Huh? The Blue Angels are F/A 18 strike fighters. This model of fighter is in active service and sees combat today.

There's nothing more black and white than the original post in this thread. Your words not mine, nor my beliefs. Guess you're the one with the simplistic worldview, preferring to pidgeon-hole and project opinions than deal with real people rather than cardboard cutouts. And if those "others" are living here, then they can STFU or go home. That was the question posed in the thread - what do refuges living here who may be "victims" of US "terror" think of us. Fuck them.

who can I blow up to get my 72 virgins?

Don't care. Those jets truly ARE the sound of freedom. The people that are here, for the most part, are probably people that benefited from those jets. "global rampage"??? Give me a break. Move to France, you whiny bitch. Get with the program Canyondweller, WE'RE the TRUE terrorists.

Out on the road today, I saw a Deadhead sticker on a Cadillac. A little voice inside my head said "Don't look back, you can never look back."

even a stopped clock is right two times a day.

lol. my friend had a similar experience ascending the DC route. it was whiteout conditions and he was beat. He crested the summit ridge to be treated to a figure emerging from the fog taking a shit right on the crater rim. good times.

Trimmed down unnecessary part.

So if I shave my legs, my skin won't look like ground beef after a fall? Don't fall.

Looks like it was at Index. Sobo did yell a warning.

BTW, did you yell "ROCK!".

Wow. It sounds possible, but still quite tricky to pull off, Sobo. Kudos!

There are nice bivy sites below Winnie's slide. AT least two are big enough for a small 2-person tent. Barring that, there are flat areas on the snow below Winnie's slide, or 100-200 feet below that. You can smooth out the snow with a shovel, or just the edge of a picket. Enjoy!

Can't feel it. ............................................ Nope still can't. Must be because I am leaving at noon to climb the Emmons with my daughter. Spray on. Awesome, Bug! I was wondering if you were going to reschedule that. Are you camping tonight in Glacier Basin? Have a good one, be safe, and post a TR.

Explosive diarrheah on the route to Snowfield peak. It was only "awkward" because I stopped the rope team 3 times to vacate my bowels.

some do shave so that the road rash heals a bit better from being side swiped by some asswipe not paying attention turning a corner. Shaving your legs is aid.

Think of it as a blessing. I do.

It should have been F-off Monday and Group Hug Friday. Too much negativity going in to the weekend.

that, or genetics.
