Road Kill Candy

Sad, but true.

What proportions? One part each?

I've heard similar explanations for why climbers climb, and I can certainly understand *that* drive.

I laugh at your hypocrisy and at you.

I don't think Nixon was evil, and think that type of hyperbole does a lot of harm, blurring the distinctions between good and true evil. I'll stop with that to avoid thread-drift, and only add that reading these types of statements makes me not have much desire to read more of what this guy has to offer.

OK, I'll concede that point. I've always wondered why this is so and whether it is a necessary condition to that level of creativity.

Yeah, they worked so well for him that he blew his brains out. Or maybe it just helped him get that far. Tell us all about your perfection KaskadskyjKozak. If that's what it took for him to "get by" and make his life worth living than he's a pathetic sack of shit. A far cry from "perfection". The average person seems to be able to find something to live for. I guess that's not edgy or sophistic ated enough for all the self-absorbed, nihilistic, narcissists of the world. And if you take my criticism of him as an insult to you, then that says more about you than me.

Yeah, they worked so well for him that he blew his brains out.

nice try.

There are many poor countries in the world that could blame the US for its policies. Why is it that terrorists only come from those countries where the "religion of peace" is dominant? OR The US killed over 2 million Vietnamese in the Vietnam War. Why is that nation not a breeding ground for terrorists and hatred against the US. Discuss...

I know a relative of his... dropped him a note this week and he says Chris will probably not lose any digits.

At least this is aesthetically pleasing to look at. Compare with the so-called "art" you find in cities like Seattle. To me the concrete and steel monstrosities look more like junk (e.g. the red metal tube "piece" near the Space Needle).

Stategery.

Also, note that the data only goes up to 1950. I'm wondering if the slope steepens between 1950 and 2005, or if it continues at roughly the same rate of increase. The question is whether the C02 concentrations are increasing irrespective of man, or whether man is accelerating an already-occurring natural phenomenon.

Opted to tie my $$$ softshell jacket around my waist on a bushwhacking approach. Noticed it had fallen off, and made everyone wait while I searched for it (30 min).

Yeah baby! Now I can justify my consumption of both red wine and coffee. Just add tequila and I'll be set...

like?

Embarassing? Dunno. Humorous: coming off the Easton Glacier, and needing to take a dump really bad. Dropped trou' on a ridge above a the moraine. As I released a 12-inch brown trout... two snowmobiles roared up the moraine and got an eye-full. A modicum of justice for those #(*#&*.

I was thinking the same thing...

It can be done car to car; leave early to maximize daylight. The biggest risk is weather - hikers get lost in whiteouts up there and wind up on the Nisqually or Paradise glaciers, or they fail to bring adequate protection against the elements.

Leashing dogs is cruelty in and of itself. So is imprisonment in a home. Let the dogs go free to live as nature intended!

When global warming renders Seattle a tropical climate with malaria-infested mosquitos... sure.
