  1. 4th Grade: Chief Lalooska Cultural Center. Pretty interesting for the most part. We ended up in the large main tepee gathered around listening to a talk on Native American history. It was very dim in there with really the only light being the fire in the middle of the room. I was sitting in the far back near the wall of the tepee. I turn my head to the right and I see a large Indian man standing above and about 6 feet away from me with some sort of a leather wrap or sarong-type thing around his waist along with the standard Native American regalia on top. Well, he had one leg up on the bench we were sitting on and I see this guy is going full-commando! Junk everywhere! It totally freaked me out! I looked up at him and he gave me this creepy evil grin. I immediately turned my head forward and locked eyes on the speaker. I got the hell out of there when it was over, but I will never forget that.
  2. Possibly. I wonder what the DOCUMENTED worker in line this morning for a job at Del Monte might think about that.
  3. Same as if someone steals from a grocery store to feed their family? What if it's your store? Still ok?
  4. No need for more fences is right. Every employer is able to deduct employees wages. Simply make the employer prove they are legal or don't let those wages be deducted. No need for more fences or more bureaucracy. Let the IRS handle it.
  5. $41.05 later. This better be good!
  6. Race cross. Crashing is mandatory.
  7. That brings up a good question: if someone finds the lost axe, does it then become theirs? What if, they return it to the original owner, does the owner have to return the new axe to the borrowing party? Then as a reward, perhaps the finder of the lost axe should be rewarded with the new axe? Discuss. (a bottle of $2.99 red wine evokes thoughts as this)
  8. "Here's to all my friiieeeeennddsss!!"
  9. I noticed that. To me it's just a different perspective which I really enjoyed. Thanks for the great show.
  10. If/when they find them, you'll know it.
  11. Definitely tele if your comfortable with that. It will also give you a chance to climb in your tele boots to make sure they fit well. I say this because if you've only skied with them, climbing in them is another story. Experience has painfully taught me this. For sure skin up if you have skins. If you need to buy them, plan ahead so that you can fit them to your skis or have the shop do it. It's definitely the way to go. It's a good way to travel and you'll get just as good quad work by skiing down as you would walking in really soft snow. Which does suck. Crampons probably will not be necessary, unless you'd like to try them with your tele boots as practice. It's always a good idea to be swift and comfortable with your gear BEFORE your main trip.
  12. Sounds noble. Good luck!
  13. Some of Phil's better work: Baker Inner Constance

    BOMBS AWAY

    I'm sure the secret service was all over that bird.
  15. Tandem Rally in Yakima. It's through the wine country so that's a good thing. I hope my 11-year old stoker can hold up his end of the deal!
  16. THAT is hilarious. My reasons for not using a bladder: 1) you never know how much is left until its gone; 2) once you refill them, good luck getting them back in your full pack after all your other gear has settled into it's place; 3) the mouthpiece can freeze; 4) they're a pain to clean (if you remember to); 5) ever pull the the tube from the bottom of the bladder? You panic and thrash around trying to stop the deluge into your pack just as it completely empties all over your clothes. That's fun.
  17. I'll say! Looks like a great trip Sky.

  22. At least he died smiling!
  23. When we got to the slope before the summit a couple of us put them on. I didn't think they were necessary. Good point. The buzz-to-weight ratio is much better too!
