Sorry to get serious but....

 

You know kids, I wish every mom

and dad would make a speech to their

teenagers and say kids, be free,

be whatever you are, do whatever you

want to do, just so long as you don't hurt anybody.

And remember kids,

I am your friend.

 

I would just like to say that it is my conviction

That longer hair and other flamboyant affectations

Of appearance are nothing more

Than the male's emergence from his drab camoflage

Into the gaudy plumage

Which is the birthright of his sex

 

There is a peculiar notion that elegant plumage

And fine feathers are not proper for the male

When ac---tually

That is the way things are

In most species

Interesting topic. I'm sort of an electrical engineer with an identity crisis...Seems like I'm doing more mechanical these days. Either way, I'm still designing control systems for spacecraft.

 

It is apparent to me that climbers are generally the hard science type. Many people I meet or climb with are some flavor of engineer, physicist, chemist or biologist. It'll be interesting to see whether this thread agrees...

 

thoughts?

 

Then there's the whole topic of WHY people of this group are attracted to climbing. I have many theories...

Another engineer (aerospace working for a large NW company)

 

And isn't it ironic that white collar engineer/science/etc. types are interested in climbing whilst spending nearly their entire careers sitting on their butts...

 

Not at all. I'm more amazed by folks who have jobs that involve physical work or being on their feet all day who enjoy climbing.

screw sales.

 

I do know some folks who work for a living that don't sit in front of a computer and so cannot answer this question. People who are answering this tend to have computers. And be white collar at a desk.
