  2. More bad news. The radio just announced that jurors found Senator Ted Stevens Guilty. (too soon for links)
  3. Thanks for bringing that up. I just called them and yes they do mount dynafit bindings.
  4. Maybe. I have heard a few less than positive stories; then again I've heard some good reports too.
  5. Not that it's absolutely necessary, but I think you need a backup plan Fairweather. Imagine if you will your worst nightmare. Obama as president and Gregior as governor. I imagine you'd be thinking that it's time to get the hell out of Dodge. Here's the perfect solution (as posted in spray). Imagine living in a country with friendly, attractive, right wing folks. Don't worry things could be much worse. Austria has some cool mountains too.
  6. So much has gone on since then I'd forgotten about flight 007. That was a cool thing to post, and I look forward to more about Stanislav Petrov.
  7. Anchorage Daily News Backs Obama I found this on Fox news so it must be the true word.
  8. Skiing at Zermatt a few years ago I watched a Swiss army group ski away from the gondolas and up Monte Rosa. Just from watching that I decided that mandatory military service for everybody could be fun. I'd love to be told to do training exercises like that.

  9. Should McCain loose the election Fairweather's posted reactions will be interesting. Election day might be a dark day for F. Too soon to tell, but I hear Gregoir is up in the polls here. Election day could be bad bad bad for some. Imagine if you will Reichard loosing on top of all that. Then again there's still time for a turn around. Not a lot, but some.
  10. Both of those videos are funny

    stupid Safeway

    I dislike the Walmart of outdoor shopping (REI). Nevertheless I do get into situations where they are the only option. Once I needed freeze dried food for a long bc ski trip. I had to get it that day. No problem I figure. I'd just go to Outdoor and More and pick some up. They had none, but REI was close. I wet there, walked in, and grabbed what I wanted. At the check out the cashier as me, "Are you an REI member?" I said no. Then I got a long speech about how I really should join. In the end I told the woman, "I want to buy this food. I need it now and you are the only quick source, but I hate REI and never want to join. That made the rest of the transaction go quickly and smoothly.
  12. I know none of this for a fact, but I hear you don't just eat the Amanita muscaria. There is some kind of processing one does before eating them. Carving out the white caps or something. Correctly identifying the psylocybin variety is much safer. Chanterelles, oyster mushrooms, and others taste good with dinner. Good ID skills are a must, but if you do that right you just get a nice dinner and don't have to plan on further entertainment.
  13. I tried to get that image to appear. It's worth checking out. She's wearing a scarf with some red white and blue donkeys images. I wonder if her buyers new that the donkey is the image of the democratic party. I'd have thought they's look for something with elephant images.
  14. Even Rocktober 20 2008 is in the past. Scott can you confirm November 20? That should fit in with Thanksgiving with the family.
  15. I was trying to remember if the event I saw was in '83. In any case the folks I saw were not from BC.
  16. Make absolutely positive the don't look like [img:center]http://www.gencat.cat/especial/bolets/img/toxics/farinera_borda1.gif[/img] or [img:center]http://www.stowaway.net.au/stock/clothes/FBM-angel-of-death.jpg[/img] Even if they don't I'd be scared.
  17. Seriously if you only plan on having a sip now and again I'd go with what Ken suggested. Scotch, Whiskey, Tequila, etc. If you want a standard 12 ounce sized beverage but don't like beer then try something like dry hard cider. Sweet drinks are gehy
  18. Don't fuck with me. I have a bb gun, and I ain't afraid to defend myself
  19. Perhaps he was shy about being seen in a parade without a designer outfit, primping, or lipstick?
  20. I saw Dave Reichert at the 4th of July parade in Carnation a couple years back. I was at the parade again this 4th and Dave was nowhere to be found. If he really cared he would have showed up to wave at the crowd and thank them for their support.
  21. I've thought a little more about the event I remember. I believe it was June. Rapid warm weather led to a lot of slides. Helicopters we saw hovered near gullies leading down to Price Lake. Due to safety issues they couldn't spend much time. It ended up being months later before they spotted the remains of the two climbers.
  22. I was at Price Lake around 1984. We ran into a group searching for 2 climbers in their group. The two while climbing on the N Ridge were hit by avalanche/serac fall. The group looked for their friends and down climbed/rappelled from the N ridge to Price Lake. After talking to the folks who thought we were search and rescue and observing conditions we ditched our plans for the Price Glacier. We sat and watched the real search and rescue help the survivors out. They flew helicopters around the cliffs above Price Lake. Months later I heard they snagged the bodies of the two fellows. I don't remember names.

  24. What about energy beer. They didn't have that way back. [img:center]http://farm1.static.flickr.com/80/214115628_8884adf416.jpg[/img]
  25. 2 week and one day. There will be follow up, but nothing like the champaign.
