Fairweather reaches the hallowed halls of post-secondary education in middle age and he's suddenly the mouthpiece of the intelligentsia.

Wrong. Everyone has their price.

Be sure and mention me in the credits. ;-) I've been to a few countries in the Balkans if you need any info.

Snickers. Peanut butter in squeeze tubes. Don't worry about bringing too much food to 14K. You can get all the free food you want from people trying to lighten the load on their way off the mountain. Same goes with fuel. Don't take anything with you that you dont absolutely love eating as you wont eat it (e.g. cliff bars).

My car didnt technically die but it stopped moving. The throttle linkage to the carburator broke, thus ending all forward progression. I was wearing wire-rimmed glasses at the time and broke off one of the ear pieces to thread through the linkage and twist together to get me back moving again. This was 3 a.m. in downtown portland.

I had LASIK done at the Renton Vision Center about 8 or 9 years ago. Recovery time was something like 24 hours--I drove home the next day. You just have to be careful not to rub your eyes. Best money ever spent. The only new comment I would add is that if you do any high altitude mountaineering, wearing contacts can be dangerous. I slept with mine in at 18K and woke up the next morning to disturbingly blurry vision which I attributed to the early stages of HACE. Removing them and putting on glasses did not help at all. I went down in elevation to our base camp and my vision started getting better. I found out later that the contacts restricted air flow to my eyes which resulted in the eyes swelling.
