An incredible effort and equally well told.
Was the route named for the Pushkin short story?
Must have been the reason the russkies chose to
do it.

I hope this is easier to read when clicked than that earlier set. MFM
As for the personal notes I made, I think the words are just a little climbing related, more or less, and it's a pretty little song. It's for all the soloists out there.

I was thinking of my father when I clipped this from the magazine many years ago. He's been gone one week today. He done shot the moon, just like Charley Cole all those years ago.

hey there say, ekat... wow, here i am! very nice...

say, just saw mouse's share on this, too...

and a bump from matt, here, too...


very nice!
trying to soak it all in, :)

note--reREAD this, and thought i sounded goofy:
had just saw someone share about 'queen of spades' and was hoping to learn more, so i saw the link here...

yep, i sounded kind of goofy... very sorry, folks, :)
was just having fun learning more stuff here...

:)


edit:
oops was more than goofy... i had misread something on the other
thread... put the apology in though, as to the odd-confusion,
thankful that the
boo-boo as to my misread' was graciously-caught... oh my...

need to slow down, when i read and, and type, too...

until after... a vending machine dinner...and having a few guards look with disgust at my filthy being I can finally smile

this makes me smile for the BLM LEO squirming as he ran my ID after my first trip out to Bongville, sniffing the funk of fear and nonshower and DNGAFfor football or home improvement on me...

Good stuff!
