I gotta agree with OW. I started a business on my own. There were no funky economic conditions, but that doesn't matter. If you feel stuck at your present job and have confidence that you can at least scratch out enough money to keep paying bills then go for it. No matter what don't expect a huge reward right off the bat. You're running a business because you like what you do, and believe that others will respect your skills enough to hire you for work. Don't start a business just for the unemployment benefits. You'll regret it.

Now were talking about something I care a lot more about. Bummer I need to go east for a show I guess.

My opinion? I don't really give to much of a fuck this far after the election is over. In the big picture, you and other republicans (slack jawed motherfuckers), were given a sound thrashing. If I was from MN I might care more, but the effect of this on the national political situation will be small.

It doesn't matter. The voter did not fill out the form correctly, therefore it doesn't count.

I've filled out a number of forms recently with bubbles and boxes to fill in text with a pen. In all of these forms the instructions clearly state: 1 Use capital letters 2 Do not make marks outside the boundaries provided Clearly this voter made marks outside boundaries provided, therefore the vote doesn't count.

I managed to get invited by an employee to the new REI opening party. They handed out food and beer and then let everybody climb on the new REI climbing tower. I recommend drinking a bunch downtown then climbing the REI rock.

pirates. Surrender your web page.

Years and Years till Logan can take on Denali. I notice that the mountain still dominates the world for the record as the worlds fattest mountain.

Hey Sobo. Have a great day I'm sure Bullwinkle's Family Fun Center would bend the rules for kids and let you drink and drive with a couple buddies today. [img:center]http://www.partywirks.com/asset/asset/63/Resized_Late_Night_Bash_Castle_2.jpg[/img]

I grew up looking at pictures on the wall of climbs my dad had been on in the 50s. During the summers I'd go hiking and later scrambling with my folks. At age 14 in '78 I signed up for the Mountaineers Basic Climbing class. I finished that and started the Intermediate class. When I could finally drive I grew sick of climbing with old farts (at the time 40 was old ). I met high school friends into climbing, so I ditched the Mounties and went climbing...

I rarely post topics of professional interest, but some folks may find this interesting.

People do it even though it often ruins the health of the tree and increases tree risk factors. One incident I recently observed was tree death along the Burke-Gilman trail due to malicious poisoning. I've also seen the aftermath of a number of trespass (tree killing events). If you have trees or wonder about pruning/removal or are just curious you can find information here International Society of Arboriculture Public Information

Born in Seattle lived in King County (way too close to Bellevue). Throw in a few years in Moscow Idaho and the Boulder area of Colorado.

KKK and Fairweather did the dog route on Rainier. Alert the media! Actually it is good you're getting out in the mountains doing something fun. It helps you find an interest outside of a sick and twisted view of politics/economy and world affairs. Now on a serious note. Kevbone, Dru is 100 times more interesting than you are.

I believe you're a little late for that.

This is about the best advice so far on learning to ski.

Fungus will be the new fuel. [img:center]http://blog.wired.com/wiredscience/images/2008/11/03/img_6306.jpg[/img] Climber will be really psyched since this fungus comes from tree in Patagonia.

Folks need to collect a bit then figure out how to breed it. Story Mushroom power

Hmm. I recently found my old college ID. I should try a trip to Canada with that.

It's hard to sell vehicles when your customers can't get loans.

Back a number of years ago I remember telling people I talked to in France, "Le Bush il est tres mal," or, "Je n'aime pas le Bush." I should take a trip to France soon.

That's good news. I read through the voter pamphlet and read a statement by Sutherland. He talked about preserving habitat and clearcut logging through stream beds. I'm thinking he was a wack job. You can't clearcut through streams and preserve habitat. I'm really happy Goldmark won.
