Sounds like you have a trip report to write. Better get crackin', apparently there are prizes to be had now, too.

There have been other threads on here discussing trailhead vigilantes...what we really need is "The Coon"

So true...I left my door unlocked and the idiots smashed the window anyway.

OBL's last Facebook post...

Perhaps you should get back to the Bin Laden thread then

Announced by Premier Clark today...

So j_b...what countries have preliminary and runoff elections at the federal or state/provincial level. Not trying to be cheekey, I really am curious if this has been implemented for realz. I think it would be good for Canada.

I should have added that i agree with you...electoral reform is desperately needed in Canada

Like the electoral college shenanigans makes any sense...oy...glass houses

You mean this stage? p.s. If anyone has any good suggestions for fostering naps out in the wild, I'd love to hear them! Like this: My guy is 4 now and my wife and I are also looking for family friendly partners...definately easier to manage the kids with 4 people than with two. We are in Vancouver, so if you want to come up to Squamish, that would be great. We are also open to travel: L-Worth, Smith etc.

The Nodder?

It was meant tongue-in-cheek. I'm just jealous. You go, Marc!

Nice subtle chest beat.

Mike certainly has a unique ...uh...style. I love the part where he throws his hands up in the air and says, "I don't know, ropes are so complicated"...lolz

Now that you have a the green screen and fancy editing software, perhaps you should work on a script and prompter. I think this would make the presentation smoother and more professional. Obama uses a prompter so it must be a good thing.

I've had shoes resoled and when they came back the fit was not the same as previous, which was dissappointing. Is this common, or was I just the victim of a bad resole job? BTW, it was done by a popular and recommended (specifically for climbing shoes) place in Vancouver - Gold Star Shoe Repair on Dunbar near 16th

Thats what she said.

I brown careted the Yellow Pages...I mean...funk Dat! [video:youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lw3SOvXgAgY

Why does anyone care what was in Lowe's pack? OMG climbing gear!!! OMG...a corroded pot!! What is the archeological significance here? Am I missing something?

I've worn leather on Ranier in May and had no probs. As pointed out, YMMV depending on your body and the conditions. Just make sure they have a stiff shank that will support a good pair of crampons. And waterproof them (use SnoSeal or something similar).

BTW, our governments lie to us regarding inflation. Everything around me that matters is going up in price: gas, orange juice, rent...yet the government trots out some BS inflation figure. Perhaps they don't want to have to dole out more for inflation indexed benefits?

As an example of my comments above, the Canadian government is attempting to reign in the real estate market not by raising interest rates, but by making it harder to qualify and harder to access your equity as a personal piggy bank. For example the have gotten rid of 30 year ammortizations, increased the down payment required, you now have to qualify based on the 5 year rate instead of the floating rate regardless of which you chose ...and more. Hopefully a soft landing for Canadian real estate, not a American style crash.

My investment strategy is heavily based on inflation. I hold alot of commodity backed stocks (forestry, mining, oil etc.) and real estate. The way governemtns are printing money, how can we not have inflation long term. I also think low interest rates are a good bet. Governments can't afford to bring down the house of cards built on cheap money (e.g. massive default on government backed mortgages), so rates will be kept low. Perhaps not record lows like we have now, but certainly not the double digit rates circa the 80's.
