Starting their own drug cartel. Tvash starring in "Scarface"?!

And farming what, may I ask?

Eh - gads what is this world coming to....any CC.COM folks in that mix. MANITOBA HERALD, Canada Date: Tuesday, 14 Oct 2008 The flood of American liberals sneaking across the border into Canada has intensified in the past week, sparking calls for increased patrols to stop the illegal immigration. The possibility of a McCain/Palin election is prompting the exodus among left-leaning citizens who fear they'll soon be required to hunt, pray, and agree with Bill O'Reilly. Canadian border farmers say it's not uncommon to see dozens of sociology professors, animal rights activists and Unitarians crossing their fields at night. 'I went out to milk the cows the other day, and there was a Hollywood producer huddled in the barn,' said Manitoba farmer Red Greenfield, whose acreage borders North Dakota. The producer was cold, exhausted and hungry. He asked me if I could spare a latte and some free-range chicken. In an effort to stop the illegal aliens, Greenfield erected higher fences, but the liberals scaled them. So he tried installing speakers that blare Rush Limbaugh across the fields. 'Not real effective,' he said. 'The liberals still got through, and Rush annoyed the cows so much they wouldn't give milk.' Officials are particularly concerned about smugglers who meet liberals near the Canadian border, pack them into Volvo station wagons, drive them across the border and leave them to fend for themselves. 'A lot of these people are not prepared for rugged conditions,' an Ontario border patrolman said. 'I found one carload without a drop of drinking water.' They did have a nice little Napa Valley cabernet, though.' When liberals are caught, they're sent back across the border, often wailing loudly that they fear retribution from conservatives. Rumors have been circulating about the McCain administration establishing re-education camps in which liberals will be forced to shoot wolves from airplanes, deny evolution, and act out drills preparing them for the Rapture. In recent days, liberals have turned to sometimes-ingenious ways of crossing the border. Some have taken to posing as senior citizens on bus trips to buy cheap Canadian prescription drugs. After catching a half-dozen young vegans disguised in powdered wigs, Canadian immigration authorities began stopping buses and quizzing the supposed senior-citizen passengers on Perry Como and Rosemary Clooney hits to prove they were alive in the '50s. 'If they can't identify the accordion player on The Lawrence Welk Show, we get suspicious about their age,' an official said. Canadian citizens have complained that the illegal immigrants are creating an organic-broccoli shortage and renting all the good Susan Sarandon movies. 'I feel sorry for American liberals, but the Canadian economy just can't support them,' an Ottawa resident said. 'How many art history and English majors does one country need?'

I'll PM him!

As a country we should be sure that we've heard all the important points and become educated about all the issues. Personally, I'm still undecided. There's alot of information/misinformation out there and can be challenging to sift through. I have to say that the more I have learned about the candidates the less I can truely say about how they will lead this country once elected. Anyone else?

I think a comparison would be considerably more facile than a contrast. I find it rather ironic that many on this site unilaterally question the intelligence of those that disagree with you. The fact is that GWB as well as McCain are well above the average intelligence. All of the rumors about GWB have been debunked and you have little left but whitewashing epithets to fall back on. Intelligence does indeed have little to do with being a successful leader; and that is what a politician (especially a high ranking one) must be. I wont even bother challenging you to find the sources of the alleged intellectual incompetence on the behalf of GWB and McCain; it has been refuted a dz. times before and doing so again would achieve nothing. A blend of intelligence, common sense, and practicality would be refreshing.............oh, but that individual would be poo, pooed as simple!

Oh, I thought you were talking about the yellow marshmellow chicks that you can buy at Easter...........but if you are up in Leavenworth I am getting back into doing more Alpine climbing and backcountry skiing(after some years of very little). PM me.

Hey Drater, Looks like I will be in Omak for work on Thursday, possibly Friday for a day or just half a day...........would you be willing to show me this spot? I usually work in Omak once or twice a month.

"Two Buck Chuck" or wine from the Charles Shaw Winery in CA! Can be found at Trader Joe's. Not bad and the price is right.....though it now costs more than two bucks.

In the Leavenworth, Cashmere, Wenatchee area seems to be a mix of McCain/Obama. Eastern WA used to be a stronghold for the Republicans but not anymore!

Hey Otto, What kind of hand drill - Petzl? Looks like alot of fun!

Thanks guys! The precious little wooden sugar container is Homefires but she isn't anxious to have it back anytime soon. I did pick up the card table. Thanks Sobo for dropping off the airpots and table. Also, a round of applause to Porter and several others for putting the Ropeup together. Great beer and food on Saturday! Teresa

Givler's is a great route for the girlfriend or boyfriend. It depends on previous experience of the "friend"!

Best advice: see your doctor or ask a cardiologist as there have been a number of studies done on the effects of testosterone (alot depends on length/amount of usage).

"And if that's how things play out, John McCain is doomed to be cast as the scapegoat by his fellow Republicans, in part because they never really liked him much in the first place." Self fulfilling prophecy?!

Hang over cures - a Norseman's remedy, crack an egg in a beer! I can whip up an egg dish or two.

I have three airpots of coffee for Saturday and possibly Sunday morning - what time?? Any takers on breakfast fair? Suggestions.........I take requests as my house and oven are only 10 miles from the campground.

The temps in the valley here have been around 35-36 every morning this week with some prescip. Last weekend, when I was up in the Chiwaukum Mountains, there was about 2" of snow at Larch Lake.

Toko, you still going to be able to bring this? Yes, it will be full of hot coffee and am trying to round up another airpot. Cream, sugar, swizzle sticks...........anything else.........perhaps some hot sticky buns??

Kyle, Trundling rocks don't sound good. I heard there was some excitement up on SCW - glad it had a good ending! Teresa

7:00am sounds reasonable to get going!

DPS, I am up for the run on Sunday. What time were you thinking of starting in the morn? Are you sold on running it SCT to CL? Teresa

I'll check around here in Leavenworth and I bet I can get a few sticks Silly question - how much is being brought from Seattle and how much more will be required for winnie and marshmellow roasting? T

DPS, I would be up for the run on Sunday! The colors should be in their prime. PM me if that sounds good. Teresa

Porter, I will email the folks that own the Munchen Haus in Leavenworth and see if they have a good deal on a keg - any preferences?
