First, you dont want a percentage to go to a real estate agent dont use one. Don't want to incur a "prohibitive cost in moving" then don't move. Washington incurs a tax on sales of property? Shit, Oregon doesn't--don't like the tax move in a state that doesn't have it. Housing market on a whole is up? Well thank your government for creating the economic stability enabling the growth in your investment. Pay your taxes and quit whining.

"Is that Skynyrd? Turn it up!"

McCain will be too old to run.

I picked up the Osprey Ceres 38 and really dig it. Its over 3lbs but its got a super comfortable suspension system, tool straps, ski/snowboard straps, shovel/crampon pocket, etc. I picked mine up at US outdoor for $129. Personally, I dont mind carrying a bit of extra weight in order to have a more comfortable carry. I bought this because my BD ice pack (55L) is too big for general day trips. Good luck

That describes just about all the oregon peaks.

Maybe CBS is referring to "faith" as in "I have faith that GW will make the right decisions". For a large majority of the voting public, researching the issues (and candidates) and developing a cogent ideology that informs their decisions is simply not something they have the time, inclination or aptitude for. Rather than do that, they place their faith in someone they identify with--perhaps on a very superficial level, but nonetheless they do in some way identify with him--and vote for that person. Does this make them stupid? I'm not going to judge that. Everyone makes their own cost/benefit analysis on whats important to them.

When I had a um. . 'discussion' with the ranger during the closure I was informed that the entire east side was closed to climbing permanently.

There are a couple or routes on the NNW side of beacon. Not really that inspiring when right around the other side you have so much goodness.

Wish the pics were better. I want another puppy.

Yes, Joseph deserves kudos for keeping this constructive. I do however wish he would stop being an apologist for the PRG (if I hear him saying "Gary's not getting rich" one more time I'm gonna hurl). Let them do their own talking Joseph. Kudos also to the PRG for taking some steps to make the annual members happy.

Nice pics! Good job getting on it!

Last time I went to the Ski Fever thing I thought it blew goats. Lots of bones for nada. Has it improved? Sorry I'll miss ya Timmay. Boyz gonna be on da hood.

You mean the one he commits or the one he actually gets busted for?

On the subject of MD vs. PT, I had recurrring shoulder pain for quite some time, and even dislocated it once in Boston Basin. CT scan showed small tear, doc wanted to operate. I decided to wait until after a trip to the Tatras. Following Bob's advice of ice/heat/stretching & strengthening I have been over a year pain free now. No surgery. Fuck doctors.

Speaking of poles, isn't it time for Glassgowkiss to weigh in?

As do I--at least he's serving which is far less than most who complain the loudest.

See? The right is trying to censore us already.

Non-fat, not "skinny". How vulgar!

Green beret is a hat. Special Forces, an elite unit of the Army, uses a green beret as part of their uniform. No surprise to me that Scotty signed up to be an intelligence officer in the Army. REMF.

I dont agree with supplying lead ropes either as that pushes more liability back on Gary AND means people using the ropes aren't motivated to take care of them. You don't get two free day passes with an annual membership anymore?

I thought we were talking about Bush? Why do you infuse Clinton into this? He had nothing to do with Iraq.

Saying we invaded due to genocide is profoundly ridiculous. Are you now a spokesman for the administration?

Did you guys make a wrong turn at the Fish Grotto or what? Get a room!

What about offering more weight equipment and cardio equipment? They charge more than any other gym in Portland, they should offer more than any other gym in Portland.

Check out the Black Diamond trigger finger mitts I am selling in the yard sale. I'm in Portland these babies will serve you well. A lot cheaper than the OR gloves.
