It's more likely that they'd be forced to die by their own hand.

Longer than the legendary John Holmes? This sounds like a fish story to me....perhaps you should measure it again.

Eewwww! Grrrrooooos! Gag me with a chop stick! dood...she's hot...she can think whatever she wants... as can we all

Is the aluminum frame removeable from the Exposure 50? The guy at REI had no clue.

If I'm in town, I'll be there.

That would be 2 unemployed bastards. No pics of our trip planner James, unfortunately; he had the camera.

Only saw it from a distance, of course, but the Granite Sidewalk is snow free and "looked" relatively dry. Again, that's from a considerable distance. The Dome itself is impressive, as always.

THAT's why your pack was so damn heavy last time....

Trip: Green Giant Buttress, Darrington - Safe Sex Date: 5/8/2007 Trip Report: On Tues, James (jhamaker) and I spent an enjoyable day climbing Safe Sex (5.9, 8 pitches) on Darrington’s Green Giant Buttress. The first six pitches run just to the right of Dreamer before intersecting with that route. Every move on this climb is wonderful, especially if you love chicken heads (excepting the uppermost pitch to the ridge top, which is pretty nondescript). Waterfall on the approach The route from the base Nearing the top of the first pitch Midway up the long third pitch Salish Peak Rapping the route Gear Notes: Gear to 3 ½. 8 quick draws, 2 rabbits, 2 long slings, 3 slings. Take a handful of extra biners for pitch 3. Larger nuts and tricams not very useful. Approach Notes: The approach involves a bit of brush and a rotting snow fan, which can be refreeze during the evening hours. Six point aluminum crampons would be a nice for this section. There is also a stream ford (we just splashed across). Walking sticks or ski poles for these two sections are recommended. The road is washed out in several places about a mile from road’s end and barely passable with an Outback.

Key Fact: The one thing those cunts in the suburbs complain about most is sitting in traffic.

The study you cited is fundamentally flawed and, I suspect, propoganda for the anti-rail folks. The most glaring and immediate flaw is the primary statistic: a decline in work ride marketshare. Think about it for two seconds and of course this is true: rails serve urban cores with populations that are stable relative to the faster growing suburbs. Most of the growth in commuters is in those suburbs. Therefore, rail ridership 'marketshare' must decline over time, even if the rail line capacity has remained maxed out at near 100% (which it has in most major cities). Rail ridership itself has not declined; only rail ridership relative commuter trips in the burbs. This is certainly not an argument against building a light rail system in denser urban cores. Western cities that have built new rail systems recently (Portland, SF) have enjoyed great success. Another factor that is not included in the study is that population (development and property values) gravitates towards light rail corridors for obvious reasons. Again, SF and Portland have both enjoyed this result. Third, your conclusions assume static, low gas prices. Nuff said there. Four, you equate buses with trains, but buses must use roads, and therefore are subject to (and part of) the very conjestion and delays that light rail riders seek to avoid. Light, simply put, is much, much faster than bus commuting. Five, you claim that light rail is more expensive than buses, but you fail to factor in such things as a $2.8 BILLION fix for a single section of road called the Viaduct and other such projects. When compared to these kinds of expensive road projects, light rail is invariably cheaper for the amount of traffic it handles, and much, much more environmentally friendly by any measure. Finally, public transportation ridership in Puget Sound is growing at a record 12% per year, a figure which is accelerating. Your study tries to make it seem like this figure is declining by using misleading statistical definitions. It is, therefore, propoganda and suspect as such. The ideal public transportation system for a city of reasonable size consists of light rail corridors that are served by and complemented with flexible buses.

Such a storm might actually bore a hole all the way through the earth, creating a giant whistling sound that would drive everyone crazy.

I dated this model, but as you can see in this photo, she started to chub out on me. See ya, tubby!

i had one too 1966 i called mine "jack ass" he was a wonderful fist car I just used mine to drive around in.

Probably. I mixed some parsley in, but all parsley will taste, well, more like parsley. You could also try subbing in mint, basil, or kick it up with a bit more garlic and lemon juice to make up the difference.

Someplace where we could all stand to spend some time

Funny, my ex's were only sour when they were still with me. My last one made the mistake of storming out of the house just moments after my particle beam weapon clicked into a 'Graveyard Shift/Full Auto' mode: Pity. She had such beautiful hair....

what a boson remark.

I'm looking at that pack as well for multi day ski traverses and the like. Not many packs in that category seem to allow for easily carrying a shovel.

Pidgeons quickly figure out that, once the treats stop coming, they need not keep pecking at the yellow circle. Kevbone, on the other hand....
