It's important to take a lot of time selecting the ripest big, soft round avocados.

They were trained, funded, and organized by OBL in Afghanistan. Their leader was hosted warmly by Afghanistan's rulers, the Taliban.

Say more. Afghanistan had become a criminal state, housing Osama and his training camps. That's where 9-11 came from. Osama/9-11/Afghanistan/Taliban. That's the obvious slam dunk Iraq never was nor ever could be. The war in Afghanistan has not gone well, but unjustified?

You serious? You got the tomato bug? Might want to mosey to the clinic for a little IV H2O.

It shouldn't be work. Jump in and lend a hand.

Laundry Bag Store Online. Is this a great country, or what?

The way the Iraqi security forces are peforming is eerily like the ARVN. During that war (like this one, begun only because a President lied to Congress), there was a joke about selling used ARVN M-16s on the black market. The selling point was that each rifle was "never fired and only dropped once."

You can use a mesh laundry bag to avoid your heartburn with the pillowcase fabric obstructing the flow of scrubby goodness particles. Fred Meyer has them but maybe not large enough for a rope. The military washes its skivvies in mesh bags that are pretty large. Maybe an Army-Navy store (check online) will have them.

No guns, motorcycles, or sex? Horses have spoiled you.

Maybe it was in the Petzl helmet I left there on May 31st?

I have a lot of allergies and found that pickled jalapenos dry up my sinuses. Eat 2 or 3. I have to eat them with food to blunt the bite but the less food you need to add, the better the miracle molecules will work. There is a company that sells a nasal spray of capascium extract. Sounds wicked but it's dilute.

What does this mean? They were climbing in bad form or they were having route difficulties?

Oh yeah baby, gimme some breech-to-bore action!

I won't participate in the process so tell me now what I will spray about later after the decisions are made. What's at stake?

Great news, glad to hear it. Continue baby that joint! (but not bogart it) Now you just have the shed those a-hole jerks you work for.

I hear that the U.N. is spraying smallpox in Gunks campgrounds.

Second Ascent in Ballard has many copies. You can order online.

Well, that proves it. Saddam paid Osama to crash those planes.

Probably left in the Index parking lot on Saturday 5/31. White Petzl Ecrin Roc, red & yellow stripe down the middle, name inside.

This is in a thread opposing a campground in the Gunks. Godwin in 3, 2, 1...

"...13-year-old Daniel Smith couldn't move his body to get down from his bunk bed. He couldn't lift his legs or even swallow. "Daniel...was temporarily paralyzed, his doctor later determined. "The cause: a tick found along his hairline at the nape of his neck... "Tick paralysis, though relatively rare..." http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/localnews/2004464883_tick08m.html

Hear, hear. I watched the Wide World of Sports too and also remember his work during the Olympics, particularly the 1972 massacre of the Israelis. I always enjoyed his commentary regardless of the event.

The article is about the APPALACHIAN MOUNTAIN CLUB, not the AMERICAN ALPINE CLUB. Your post above says AMC is out and now the deal is with the AAC, but how do I know that? Anyway, on the theory that there's at least two sides to every controversy, I give credence (and respect) to the article's description of the area being hammered. I volunteer in a National Park here and am familiar with the challenges of trying to keep an area from turning into a desolate junkyard vs. keeping access limited in order to preserve natural conditions. The further you post the less credible you seem. The MP isn't trying to close off climbing access. You need to realize that more people and more pressure on a piece of land has to bring a conservationist response to prevent it from being ruined for everyone. Fees are one method, or part of a larger strategy, to achieve that. The article also explains that the fees will bring facilities. It's not just that someone is going to start charging, You're going to *get something* for your money. I don't see why Northwest climbers should care. You haven't come across with anything that explains what's the outrage.
