Pretty much a draw but Cheney will get creamed tomorrow when the pictures come out with him and Edwards in the same frame after he said he had not met him until tonight.

They are waiting til after the debate to post it but the Bush folks are pushin to run the story during the debate

Ran through the Chants on Saturday, larches were gold at Assgard and 3/4 turned at lower lakes no snow to speak of cept on a few ledges on Dragontail.

The law is unconstitional on it's face. Even the present supremes will have no trouble striking it down especially since is restricts THEIR POWER.

Kind of reminds me of the much dreaded "mineshaft gap" in Dr. Strangelove

Zamfir did the soundtrack to Picnic at Hanging Rock a place where we used to practice. It always seemed haunted and the flic caught that. The local guide rated a route ar the equivalant of 5.9 when it was really about a 5.1 we did it on sight. Aussie climbing was pretty positive at the time. On the other hand Yanni ??

It is all talk anyway. You can only get an Income Tax as a Constructional Amendment (requires vote) Dan Evans ® tried several times in the 70's and it got nowhere even less chance now.

I used to have an IBM Executive typewriter that I got free from my Uncle. It had porportional spacing and a couple keys that you could slide extra type bars onto such as st, nd and th. They were nothing special, wish I still had it then I could get a gig on TV

I know locally that the lower Lynch Glacier and the lower Hinman Glacier have totally disappeared. In the 80's there were icebergs floating in Peasoup Lake this summer just a round muddy blue lake. The ice caves on the Puyallap Glacier along with the Glacier are gone. Kilimanjaro is about to lose its ice it all seems to beyond question at this point.

The cheapest soluition is an old plastic Jim Beam traveler or Old Crow botl dose as well as a $20flask. Just use the booze to make truffles or something if you want single malt or Knob Creek

Messner is better in German

The IBM Executive typewriter used porportional fonts and was available with the th superscript. In the 70's the Navy used mag card typwriters which could reproduce many fonts (I do not know about the TNG). The Whitehouse pased the copies to news organizations and did not object.

Each was somewhat different, In Korea McArthur wanted to use nukes but I do not believe all of the US Military had signed on. We got in big trouble when the Chinese intervened with millions of "volunteers" and barely fought back to a stalemate that continues to this day. Vietnam as described in "The Fog of War" was something nobody really wanted with civilians wanting to do contradictory objectives such as winning hearts and minds, military victory, and minimal casualties. Iraq is the only recent one that was actively sought and all disagreers fired including civilians who said it would cost as much as it actually did.

It is always bad news when civilians overrule the military when it comes to fighting wars, regardless of party, because then good soldiers die

In Iraq we have got about to the point we were in Vietnam in 1964. We are supporting a government composed of former CIA informers. That government controls little or no real estate that is not policed by US troops. I cannot see how we know what we are trying to accomplish. As best as I can tell we thought that once Saddam was removed a government would arise from the ashes that would grant US bases and make piece with Israel. Such an assumption could only be made by a person with astounding ignorance of the area.

All of which shows why he is not particularly concerned about US deaths and injuries in Iraq. It is apparent to anyone with the wits of a turnip that "his kind of people" are in no danger.

An insufferable POS, workin hard to get the world to hate US i.e. takin care of business Kinda cool he was doin coke at Camp David when his dad was pres though

National Geographic makes what they call "Adventure Paper" which reacts with the ink of jet printers to become waterproof. REI and others sell it for about $0.75 a sheet. It works pretty well but is expensive.

LeMay later ran as VP with George Wallace when he was an avowed racist and wanted to nuke Vietnam into the stone age, "Bombs Away With Kurt LeMay".

You can scramble up Old Desolate and traverse Vernal Park to Elisian Fields. The Fields are a hidden valley that seams like a shangrala. Ftom there you can scramble up Crescent and even descend to Windy Pass. the only dicey spot is the gully on OD it is loose scree mixed with choss but the exposure is not bad same for the descent to WP.

Most aren't much but sometimes you will find one with the 1st ascent party from years ago and that seems pretty cool. Sometimes a neewbies 1st climb report is fun to read and recapture their excitement.

I agree with the 70cm RP great for scrambling and such course I don't do much ice anymore. That and one pole is about all you need cept for waterfalls and such.

It is inexcusable to delay the election no matter what. If delayed it has no legitimacy no matter who wins. The only exception I can conceive of is total nuclear devastation or alien invasion
