The town is great Glacierdog. Good food, good beer, if you are so inclined good pot houses to smoke in. Just don't do what our friends in Alaska did. One of 'em went up to a hookers window and took her picture without premission or money exchanging hands. He was very quickly surrounded by three of the biggest men he said he has ever met. They demanded the film and he gave it it quickly. The other buddy was laughing his ass off at the scene.

Got a buddy living in the area that does "very" upscale residential building I'll bet he has a ton of work to do after this storm!!!! Matt P. you know him via old climbing routes at D-town.

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah At first I was going to say FUCK YOU YOU FUCKING ASS HOLE, but then I realized I hate it when the thread does that to me also. So I will not say fuck you you fucking ass hole. Instead I'll say. done

Geezs, I am not going to read that shit. Got part way into it and then skimmed. Fuck it, I'm going salmon fishing. Hi tide is at 10:30AM and the rain is sending out scent!!!!!!!!!!! Salmon...drool!!!

Cavey knows me. I slam in gear like crazy, fucking clip new bolts, old bolts, new pins, old pins, tie off trees, shrubs etc. The way I figure it anything goes to slow your body down in case of a fall. If you reduce your ft.lbs. of energy per sec just enough the next piece might hold. hahahahahahahahahhahahahaha...

Humans are heading for the endangered species list. And that ain't no shit!

I repent in dust and ashes, GOD. Book of Job. By the way teach, I would of if the source had been attached. If you look at all my other posts like this one I have attached the "author" if they had been there. I'll do 15 Hail Off Whites while I face the compose pile today. Will that open the gate ways to Tenino?

No, humans are not at risk on this particular paracite.

Meningeal worm or brain worm has been transferred from the genus Pneumostrongylus to Parelaphostrongylus, hence is now known as Parelaphostrongylus tenuis. This species is a slender, delicate roundworm found in the cranial cavity of cervids. The white-tailed deer is the normal host of P. tenuis. The adult worms are normally located between the membranes (meninges) covering both the brain and spinal cord, but are found more frequently in the meninges of the brain. The adult worms deposit eggs either on these membranes or directly into blood vessels. Those deposited on the membranes, hatch and the larvae enter small blood vessels to be carried to the lungs where they enter the alveoli. Eggs deposited into blood vessels are carried to the lungs and eventually hatch with larval penetration of the alveoli. This activity in the lung tissue produces an interstitial pneumonia. The larvae pass up the respiratory tract from the alveoli, are swallowed and then eliminated in the faeces. Larvae appear in the faeces about three months after the host becomes infected. The larvae then penetrate into gastropods (snails and slugs) which act as intermediate hosts. Development of the larvae in the gastropod to a stage when they are infective to the vertebrate host takes about three weeks. Cervids become parasitized by ingesting infected gastropods with their food. In the final host, development of the larva to the adult worm takes place in tissues of the central nervous system, particularly the spinal cord. Parasites leave the tissues of the spinal cord after about 20-40 days and locate between the spinal membranes where they mature. Subsequently they tend to accumulate in the cranial region. The adult worms are about 50 mm in length and may be seen fairly readily when free in the cranial cavity. From one to 20 worms have been found in the crania of infected deer. P. tenuis seldom causes damage in white-tailed deer. In other cervids there is often extensive damage to tissues of the brain and spinal cord. The resulting neurologic disease is characterized by weakness, fearlessness, lack of coordination of movement, circling, deafness, impaired vision, paralysis and subsequent death. When in moose this disease is often called “moose sickness” or, “moose disease”. The life cycle of P. tennis and the relationship between this parasite and "moose sickness" were first elaborated experimentally by Anderson (1963, 1964). The early experimental work stimulated extensive study of meningeal worm in the natural environment. In Canada, studies by Anderson (1965, 1971, 1972), Bindemagel and Anderson (1968), Kelsall and Prescott (1971), Lankester and Anderson (1968) and Saunders (1973) have substantiated the importance of this problem in management of big game and have given us some indication of the dynamics of the hostparasite relationships among wild populations. P. tenuis has a wide distribution in eastern and central North America. Within Ontario in the last 100 years, changes in the environment have resulted in the northern extension of the deer range. Both deer and meningeal worm have shared range with moose. "Moose sickness" has been restricted to areas where deer and moose ranges overlap. Declines in the moose populations of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Maine and Minnesota appear to be associated with this disease. Failure to consider the importance of the effect of this parasite on cervids other than white-tailed deer resulted in the loss of a small herd of reindeer introduced from Norway to Ontario in 1969. Damn Norweigns

Check this out. As some of you may know, one of my son's friends serves in the military. He is still stateside, here in California. He called me yesterday to let me know how warm and welcoming people were to him, and his troops, everywhere he goes. Telling me how people shake their hands, and thank them for being willing to serve, and fight, for not only our own freedoms but so that others may have them also. But he also told me about an incident in the grocery store he stopped at yesterday, on his way home from the base. He said that ahead of several people in front of him stood a woman dressed in a burkha. He said when she got to the cashier she loudly remarked about the U.S. flag lapel pin the cashier wore on her uniform. The cashier reached up and touched the pin, and said yes, I always wear it. The woman in the burkha then asked the cashier when she was going to stop bombing! her countrymen, explaining that she was Iraqi. A gentleman standing behind my son stepped forward, putting his arm around my son's shoulders, and nodding towards my son, said in a calm and gentle voice to the Iraqi woman: "Lady, hundreds of thousands of men and women like this young man have fought and died so that you could stand here, in MY country and accuse a check-out cashier of bombing your countrymen. It is my belief that had you been this outspoken in YOUR OWN country we wouldn't need to be there today. But, hey? if you have now learned how to speak out so loudly and clearly I'll gladly pay your way back to Iraq so you can straighten out the mess you are obviously here to avoid." Everyone in line, and within hearing distance, cheered the older gentleman, coming forward as they reached for their wallets. The woman in the burkha left the store in silence. I am, like at least some that were in the store, outraged! But it also warmed my heart to! know that we, as American's, are speaking out, calmly and succinctly (finally) to those that enjoy the freedoms here in the US. but who complain and berate the very government (and the people) that protect those very freedoms Hooray for Rea's son; Hooray for that checker; Hooray for the gentleman in the store for his actions; Hooray for Rea for sharing this with all of us.

Fat??? Necro, ya better get an eye exam!

Watch Glacierdog or you will have a condom on your spray. The moderators will enforce

Brain Worms are responsible for the deaths of many moose in Yooper Michigan. They don't go into the brain tissue of deer but will do so on moose.

Isn't bamboo great. Its the toughest stuff in the world. I saw this long bow with a piece of cane laminated on the front. Absolutely beautiful piece of wood work.

ya, r-i-g-h-t.

Gee he sounds like my mother-in-law

My daughter called and told us to turn on the TV. It was a horrible sight. Then the school district that I sub for called me and and requested that I show at the school where they have a high Iraq student ratio. It was weird. The campus was loaded with cops and not an Iraq student was to be found. All were gone!! The students that were left there wanted to watch the TV, but orders from the Super were that all TV's were to remain off. I had mostly 11 and 12 grade students so I said fuck it, and we watched TV. Kids were very quiet and focused. They thanked me for allowing them to watch. Some asked if I was afraid that I'd be fired for allowing them to watch the TV. I said, "No, that I was looking for a job when I found that sub job, so I figured that were more". Hey when you don't give a flying fuck it does not matter and ya skip the ulcers.

timmy that is called an ass kisser and i could dream up some nasty stuff to do to the fucker if i worked there.

One car broke down so had it towed to Ford dealership in Snohomish. Came home went to range to shoot the bow. Shot extremely well considering I'm doing it by instinct and not with modern sights and such. Then drove toward Trask's villa and wet my line for a few hours trying like hell to hook a salmon. No luck, only one guy was lucky tonight. I have to tie up some new flies, nearly all my good salmon flies are gone Anyway that is the tough day in the life of a lay about has been climber, but I like it. hahahaha

I guess it got pulled because Beck got more hate.

I was confused at first but now I know what you are talking about. Erik posted a thread that was to allow everyone on the planet to abuse him. Beck on the other hand beat him out without even posting a special thread to be abused on. I guess Erik does not have the enemies he thought he had.

U 2 are a riot

Got done subbing. Went home, fed the dog and left for the Stilly. Did not listen to my wife's advice and got skunked. I guess the salmon(silvers, pinks) are farther downstream that I cared to believe. I should know better than to second guess the woman. Been married to her for 32 years and been right about things that we debate less than I care to admit.
