Bon voyage vonage

The thrift and ecologically minded society determines if the machine can be repaired. If the machine cannot be repaired, it is disassembled, good parts used in the repair of others, bad parts rendered for reuse of raw materials. This quadriplegic has shown a desire to compete - he's already won several deathcathlons. However, there are those that maintain he shouldn't be allowed a "special" venue of competition as witnesses have seen him adequately use his limbs to perform killisthenics.

i doubt bannination will find you, no matter where you're pathetic.

Yeah, you're correct - my tone may have been unnecessarily aggressive. I simply tire of the routinely erroneous assertions and hyperbole in your posts, which contributes to the idea that you're "dense". So, you've moved to stating as "fact" that Wallace won the Democratic primary. At this time, I'm not going to trouble with looking it up, but I doubt this - your "fact" - as well. Wallace ran on the American Independent Party ticket. In the general election, the State went to the Democratic candidate, Hubert Humphrey. Your statement does not make sense nor square with these elements. It's obvious you have few skills, constructive experience, or sensibility with concern to issues of Race - which, is probably why you jump so readily to the hyperbolic (again), in this case, the KKK...in Ann Arbor, no less: easily, one of the most liberally-minded (and governed) cities in our Country. It's disconcerting to find someone so unwilling to examine their own judgments and misconceptions - in this case, concerning Race. Examine this statement: Setting aside the ludicrousness of associating the Upper Peninsula culture which is similar to that of western Ontario, northern Minnesota, and northern Wisconsin, with southern Michigan, you imply a remedy for racial tension is separation. Or, as in your personal anecdotes, to ignore politely. You've plopped yourself between the sheets with strange bedfellows. How ironic to find this acceptance of unresolved personal conflict (whether internal or overt) and abstinence from the pursuit of understanding, in one whose persona promotes, regularly, the "meeting of the minds". I'm not slamming you "just to slam". You, as all of us, earn a slamming on a regular basis for foisted inaccurate statements and the appearance of sentiments at odds with an identity built online, accumulatively. This time, I, uncharacteristically, was the one who took the time. If you can't have an ice day, I hope you have a nice day.

Man, you're thick-headed as to the point and thin-skinned concerning racial politics... ...or simply superficial. I suppose you'd find it more comfortable in polite and white New Hampshire, too, where Democrats stated one thing in the primary exit polls, but their racism cast a different ballot.

HEY! I resemble that remark!

Considering this perception of yours (at this time), of national politics, at that time, leads me to speculate on your inward reckoning and judgments on the subject of Race - as well as pointing to your ostensible political mis-perceptions. In my experience, with rare exception, a strong measure of ethnocentrism is the norm the world over. It doesn't matter if "openly displayed" or held inward, politely. No, I don't agree southeastern Michigan is escalated above most other areas of this country in racist values held by its inhabitants. I'm not discounting its presence, but asserting that the lack of open displays are not evidence of its diminishment or absence. Again, this statement doesn't address the presence of racism, but simply the lack of its expression. Polite racism, though more palatable to some, is no less vile than more crude expressions.

oops

what is that? a klr650?

I was raised in Michigan, as well, and had a very different experience than that you have stated. My social group was inter-religious and inter-racial; it was through that affiliation to non-affiliation that I met one of my heroes, Jesse Owens. ...which is just another example of your skewed view:

Close enough. last Monday, I saw my second adult mountain lion in three weeks (usually average only two sitings per year); a bear on the same drive. A month ago, arriving home from cragging, a five-point bull elk stood blocking my driveway...by now, he's probably dropped his rack. I enjoy traveling, seeing and climbing in new areas, but, wherever I am, I'm glad to come back here.

no longer there, she's gone metric with hairy toes.

I tried the cell phone/headlamp trick, but I couldn't keep it attached to my helmet.

Man, it was close right up to the final second.

Here, that's still the general modus operandi.

The Climber's Ranch is choice for reasons mentioned above. There one night at the covered outdoor dining area (grills supplied), I was an indirect party to the potential start of WWIII when the Brits I was climbing with were trying to start a full-on battle with a group of Germans. good times
