You may be right. Are we not men? We are DEVO.

Thanks for the company and I’m sorry about your ear which endured all my tales of my misadventures. Dang summit still eludes me, but I’m at peace with that. My crampons were not cooperating and it was too late once I figured them out. it was really nice spending time up there with you. Since those mountains are my home turf I will probably make another attempt some time. Goes to show how conditions can make it a cakewalk versus a more serious endeavor with a little temperature variation. Onward to more adventure.

I think anyone that has climbed technical territory for a long while has been in this situation. I know some of you have climbed much more than me. You end up trusting a single suspect anchor because it is all you have. So far, if you’re reading this, we have lived. And as those anchors go, some are more obviously desperate than others. Yeah in ideal conditions always back it up. Otherwise you have my best wishes. RIP.

I just want them to arrest and incarcerate people who cut in line during my commute home from work. String them up, tar and feathers.

She must have used AI and didn’t even bother to read what it gave her before publishing.

Stellar wordsmithing! 😂 https://amp.bellinghamherald.com/news/state/washington/article307907125.html dang, Helena!

Idk if they would do this but please check out the sponsors of this board. American Alpine Institute.

Very nice! Thank you.

I too will take beers over being stuck up in bad weather. Thanks for the TR!

No pouting here Brian. Did you go to Olympia high or something? I just think is funny when you start making all these wild ass assumptions like you know me or something. You clearly don’t at all. And I don’t really know you other than you’re a right wing keyboard warrior. As any good librul I wish higher taxes upon you. Peace out for this weekend I got better stuff to do.

No that I not what I describe. It is called being agnostic. But after hearing you explain yourself in this thread I do understand you more. You’re a religious man. Well indoctrinated at that. You prefer theocracy over democracy.

The establishment clause states that separation, it does not mythologize it. But then that is like all law, subject to interpretation. You clearly have your own interpretation. who do we answer to? Clearly that is an individual choice as well, in practice. I don’t answer to your god, or do I? Or is it you answering to mine? I am not so arrogant as to say I could answer any of this. I answer to my family. I answer to trying to be kind to others (I don’t always succeed). I don’t answer to some mythical deity. I always welcome the truth. If your god wants me then he will have to convince me he exists.

I respect your religion though I can’t say I share your god. You’re believing for both of us I guess. Is your god in the Constitution of the USA? Isn’t there something about separation of church and state?
