  1. As you might expect, this is not a new question:

     

    "Some mountaineers are proud of having done all their climbs without bivouac. How much they have missed! And the same applies to those who enjoy only rock climbing, or only the ice climbs, only the ridges or the faces. We should refuse none of the thousand and one joys that the mountains offer us at every turn. We should brush nothing aside, set no restrictions. We should experience hunger and thirst, be able to go fast, but also know how to go slowly and to contemplate."

    That's a great quote. thumbs_up.gif

  2. I think many people here are confusing their credit SCORE with their credit REPORT. You can get a free copy of your credit REPORT every year now, by federal law (on the west coast only as of now). Your credit SCORE is what lenders use to decide if and how much they will lend you. And the more credit card accounts you open, CAN have a negative effect on your credit SCORE.

     

    so how do you figure your SCORE once you have the REPORT in hand?

    You average the three numbers together.

     

    Now that's just being mean... yellaf.gif

    Yes. evils3d.gif

     

    Pourquoi?

  3. If you're not guilty, you have nothing to fear.

     

    If your credit is good, you won't need to ask.

     

    I see... it's like if you're not a terrorist, you won't run from the cops.

     

    I know a lot of people who've had various identity-theft hassles - getting a copy of your credit report seems reasonable these days.

  4. I too would like to know how much day/month passes are going to be. That's actually all I care about. I don't have any interest in the behind-the-scenes intrigue, water-damaged drywall, or the high cost of insurance. I just want to know if it's going to be a better value than the overpriced PRG.

     

    thecircuit, you don't have to post your prices here but you might want to think about putting them on your website.

  5. I bet you mean London Fields? That's my favorite book by Amis the younger, but it's a close call between that one and The Information.

     

    London Calling, on the other hand, is the Clash's 2nd best album.

  6. Some random great books:

     

    Pale Fire, by Vladimir Nabokov

    Pnin, by Nabokov

    Lucky Jim, by Kingsley Amis

    This Gun for Hire, by Graham Greene

     

    ...and? I just started Infinite Jest, by David Foster Wallace. It might make it onto a list like this, but I'll have to let you know in a month or two, or however long it takes me to read all 1,000+ pages.
