Getting drunk on my rum ration in Neah Bay, Washington (which we had to supply our own since Neah Bay is a dry Indian reservation. Any way....time to quit the Inside Passage after 2 months, head to sea tomorrow and down the coast to San Francisco. Home just in time to unpack the boat, pack the car and head to Facelift.
1. 1.5 glasses inexpensive white wine.
2. The rangers FORCED us to take a flyer and a piece of paper about hanta virus when we drove through Yosemite even though I insisted that I didn't need it or want it. Isn't that inconstitutional or something? At least they let us recycle it back to them on the way back through.
3. Home this weekend after 3 perfect midweek days climbing on the eastside.
If a Flame backs away from a challenge, he's now a Burn-Out.
If a Flame drinks less than the whole bottle of wine, he's a wussy.
If a Flame says f*#k climbing, been there, done some of that, he's dead right.
Sometimes ya gotta agree with Joel "WTF" Goodson.
But I'm pensive tonight.
I got a bottle of Wild Hare Pinot Noir and it's hours tick away. As do mine, both of us asking a variant WTF:
30 Those who linger over wine,
who go to sample bowls of mixed wine.
31 Do not gaze at wine when it is red,
when it sparkles in the cup,
when it goes down smoothly!
32 In the end it bites like a snake
and poisons like a viper.
33 Your eyes will see strange sights,
and your mind will imagine confusing things.
34 You will be like one sleeping on the high seas,
lying on top of the rigging.
35 “They hit me,” you will say, “but I’m not hurt!
They beat me, but I don’t feel it!
When will I wake up
so I can find another drink?”
Let us know!
