Been thinking about this for a while. Some photos tell it all while others leave a lot of room for conjecture. Have fun.

That's awesome Guido (and Jay too)!
I have a photo from the first time I visited Rome... it's buried somewhere in storage and I'd have to scan it. I was wandering around some local neighborhood when I came upon a bumper sticker on a car that said:
F*#k Art, Let's Dance!
It still makes me laugh!

Sorry no photo, but this memory of a bumpersticker is burned into my memory forever.
"The earth is my church, My body is a temple."
And then the driver flicked a cigarette butt out the window!

I recognize the Kome and Kfat stickers. Must be a South Bay Area classic ride from the late seventies-early eighties.
edit- as for the bumper sticker and the plate ring, also era specific

The 1st Dingus pic reminded me of speeding down the Autobahn going from Baad to Werse. Hmmmm
The 2nd Dingus pic reminded me of the Four Corners restaurant I ate at that had a menu disclaimer that said..."Not responsible for under cooked meat or eggs". Mmmmm

I don't have it in a digital photo, but my sister and I were in SA trying to go the 'back way' into Swaziland and just before the border crossing after driving hours through the bush we came upon the last town before the border. The sign read, Badplace
Needless to say, we didn't stop.

Just goes to prove that most accidents happen close to home. In this case, about three feet from home.
These things don't corner like Ferraris. Serious under-steer limitations.

I bought this "car" from my good buddy Krissy McDdivitt Von Hennek because it had a sunroof. Worst vehicle I ever owned. So bad that I contemplated leaving in the departure parking area at SF airport, with the engine running, a six pack in the front seat and the pink slip signed.

This thread is always worth checking in on!
Chaz wrote about a tractor incident:
These things don't corner like Ferraris. Serious under-steer limitations.
I don't have a picture but maybe I can paint one with words. I once was driving across the Colorado St. Bridge in Pasadena. It's an old beautiful bridge that literally curves across the Arroyo Seco. There's a kind of curvy approach to get on the bridge heading west. So I see this brand new Ferrari, still with the dealer plates parked to the side with its right fender all smashed up. There's a guy standing next to it on a mobile phone with his head in his hand and that "Oh shit" look on his face.
The story is easy to figure out. Just bought the car and going to take it out for some paces. Problem is, with a Ferrari and its ilk, if you just think about the accelerator, the thing immediately is doing 60. Bashed right into that curve. Last I checked, years later, the red marks are still on the concrete rail!

I wonder if insurance would have helped climbers in Yosemite BITD when this pic was taken...
When we were hiking out of Afghanistan's Hindu Kush, almost the first locals that we met on the trails said, "Nixon whisstt!" and ran their hands across their throats. It was their way of telling us that he'd resigned, tho they couldn't know that it was our wish come true, except we REALLY DID WANT HIM IMPEACHED AND JAILED!!

Interesting,
The letters covered spell out "Dead."
There is only one area code ending in "27."
727
And it is Florida.
Would have thought it would be 666?
Edit.
Your are right.

So why the area code?

Well, acording to cousin Audrey, who literally wrote the "Naturalist's Guide to the Southern Rockies" it was indeed a mountain lion kill of a mule deer, and it was located right in her yard in Ward, Co.
Why is a lion kill not Taco-worthy Dingus? Why?

I think it said lord and the 0274 number is a cell phone prefect. Hard to imagine why a small country like NZ needs so many friggin #s on cell phones with only 4.5 million people here?
I had to climb a bridge on a narrow roadway to take this photo and as I was returning to the car, walking cautiously along the road this huge semi came barreling by and blasted his horn just as he passed. I nearly died in fright, jumped up and down and pumped off the "finger" on both hands with more anger than I believed I still had in me.

I think Edelrid was originally in the prophylactic business but expanded to the less litigious business of climbing ropes. Or maybe it was because their previous product expanded too much?

A ufi apparently being a kind of yam, not a mis-spelt UFO. They look uncannily like hands.
I wasn't able to get photos of the "Sheriff Detention Facility" on interstate 5, north of Sacramento. It intrigues me that they'd need a prison just for sheriffs. Wouldn't a wing in a regular prison do? Or is it some sort of country club prison, just for criminal LEOs?
I did see a dragon by the highway near Weed. Here's the best photo I could find of it.
The dragon's name is Penelope. Apparently in the "Barbie" version of Rapunzel, there is a purple dragon named Rapunzel. Probably with a friend named Barney...

But then again you are a strawberry kind of guy.
This mother is indeed a grape harvester designed for the wine industry. Apparently it can harvest most specie of red grapes but not all. Viniculturist chime in please.
Saw this on the east coast of the South Island NZ between Blenheim and the wonderful town of Nelson. Sort of the 'Napa" of New Zealand, but surrounded by beautiful bays and a warmer ocean than here in Cal.

I wish I knew the story on the stairway to the belay station -somewhere in Wales from BITD; too many pints afterwards to even remember the crag.
I suppose it was a quarry but I don't remember climbing at a quarry.
But then I don't remember doing a lot of things I've been reminded about later...

Merlins are the romance.
Detroit Diesel V-71s are the reality.
Thousands of them propelled our ships reliably. Most of those are still running, unless the ship sank.
The one on my boat in the picture has been running for 45 years without needing an overhaul and it just brought me 1000 miles down the west coast last week without a hick-up.
And speaking of romance, if you check into the facts; the less well known Corsair pretty well out-flew the Mustang. We were just having a big discussion about that on a fliers' thread.

Well, the Corsair was a later design and largely irrelevant to the war's outcome.
That the Corsair served admirably in Korea is testament to its design although
by then it had undergone many changes. I'd take either one!

They are readily available for under $100K and parts are no prob!
They are a little pricey to maintain and you have to de-activate the ejection seat!

"Excuse me sir but do you mind if I take your photo?"
I was prepared to click and run with this one.
Kind of reminds me of the old story of " how do you ride a Blue Whale? You say giddy up and if doesn't giddy up, you giddy off."

Craggie,
You're a hemisphere off - turn your globe upside down and go to Argentina!
It is one of the 7 Natural Wonders of the World - Iguazu Falls.
This is the head of the falls called La Garganta del Diablo - The Devils's Throat.
It is so freaking freaky to stand on the brink there! I'm still having night sweats!
For the historically minded it seems that at the turn of the past century
it was the custom for the few tourists to have a local guide row you out to
the edge! Now the "edge" extends for miles to the left of the above picture
so it isn't clear where they did this but you can see where it is going, literally.
After the 4 Germans and their 'guide' went over they stopped that foolishness. Sheesh!
Glad those aren't fat Americans over there and I'm really glad I didn't
have to build that thing!
Lotsa water but it gets a lot bigger than this apparently!

If so, I know where I want to return with tigerblood and adonis dna in my next reincarnation cycle. Winner!

Were I to hit that area, what is the best month. For sun and warmth there. It kinda looks alcovey or foggish. June? Sept? Maybe it doesn't matter...

That's a great shot GB, I especially like the full reach for the catch, the baby helmet, and the clueless woman (who is closest to being hit if mom misses the catch) reaching into her purse?
An aside: Some peoples human endowment proclivities are showing lately...

Was nearly racing the sun back down a trail in Mineral King to avoid headlamping the last few miles, focused on the trail as it grew darker threw the trees, only glancing every now and then to notice the beautiful sunset colors glowing off the trees (fire smoke gave more color to the sunset than usual), looked up running by this tree and it perfectly framed the sun. Perfect time of day, perfect time of year.

For those who don't know the story behind Edge's first picture
Albert Dow, a member of the volunteer Mountain Rescue Service, participated as a member of the search party that set out to locate two missing climbers, Hugh Herr and Jeff Batzer. On January 23, Herr and Batzer had left Harvard Hut to climb Odell Gully in Huntington Ravine. When they failed to return that evening, the caretaker of the Hut notified the authorities that the two were missing. Cold and windy conditions prevailed: temperatures on the summit on the 23rd registered 1 degree F, with winds of 56 to 69 mph. Blowing snow limited visibility severely. On the 24th and 25th the weather deteriorated with colder temperatures and higher winds, hampering search efforts. Avalanche warnings had been posted by the U.S. Forest Service for many areas around Mount Washington. Despite the inhospitable conditions, the searchers persisted in hopes of locating the lost climbers alive. On the 25th, Dow and another MRS team member, Mike Hartrick, carefully threaded their way down near the Lion Head Trail, striving to avoid avalanche prone slopes, after finding no trace of the climbers. Well below treeline, an avalanche swept over them. Hartrick managed to clear an air hole and radio for help. Dow was found two hours later under three feet of snow. He had not survived.

There used to be a great poster floating around New England of Hugh Herr climbing his (is it 5.11 or 5.12?) thin crack route at Cathedral Ledge in his steel prosthetic lower legs and feet. He had put the route up just before his accident.
Hugh became a motivational speaker for a while about overcoming adversity. Then he went back to university, got a Masters in mech eng from MIT and a PhD in biophysics from Harvard. He holds several patents in prosthesis in including a computer controlled artificial knee. Now has started a company to commercialize the concept.
One driven guy.
If anyone has a pic of that poster, post it up here.

This is the poster of Hugh Herr on Cathedral Ledge's "Stage Fright" 5.12c X.
Hugh used to ride a mountain bike into Whitehorse from the Cathedral parking lot because it was easier to peddle than to walk (this was before the days of the hotel and parking at the base.)

Two friends of mine own this boat. As far as I know they are still friends. Miraculously no one was hurt, though I imagine the oncoming traffic may have soiled a pair of panties.
Friend one posted the picture with these words, "I only know one guy that can capsize a boat on land... but damn he does a good job of it!"
Friend two's dad was driving at the time of the accident. Friend two put things into perspective, "Hey dad, remember when I was a kid and I broke alot of your expensive stuff? We're even!"

We have a big Mennonite farming community in our area..

Reilly, don't Ammish men have a strict dress rule? Around here, the Mennonite women look old fashion and the men dress normal, but they all have beards...if they can grow them.
also...Amish are a strict sect of the Mennonite church..

Guido: you find some weird signs; but for the life of me I can't understand the balcony warning or why it is posted.
Edit:
Guido: Now that is my kind of story... no reading between the lines. (Park next to a fire hydrant only when there is not going to be a fire.)

Further to guido's fine photo of a BMW and a firehose.
A police friend advises that they have a special universal key for opening doors. It's called a ten pound sledge.
Likewise a fireman friend says they have a special truck for moving vehicles that are blocking hydrants or access. All firetrucks are designed with sturdy bumpers, and when in a hurry, they simply push things out of the way. And no, you can't sue them for any resulting damage.

Possibly a very inexpensive way to keep the door handle from crashing through the sheetrock or whatever that is in the wall (looks like a thermostat).
Perhaps the same person that installed the box (as well as the thermostat) and the location of the balcony sign in Guido's picture up thread.

My brother is a (civilian) pilot. He forwarded an email from one of his pilot friends. Below is the story that was part of the email.
A British Royal Air Force Typhoon pilot flies up to the back door of a C-130 (Hercules) for a photo opportunity.
He radios, "How much closer do you want me?"
"How much closer can you get?"
Pilot response, Close enough?
I assume it is all real. Can't imagine what is was like standing on that ramp.

Third, I didn't climb it out of respect for the men and women that have served.

"The lion's mane jellyfish (Cyanea capillata) is the largest known species of jellyfish. Its range is confined to cold, boreal waters of the Arctic, northern Atlantic, and northern Pacific Oceans, seldom found farther south than 42°N latitude. Similar jellyfish, which may be the same species, are known to inhabit seas near Australia and New Zealand. The largest recorded specimen found, washed up on the shore of Massachusetts Bay in 1870, had a bell (body) with a diameter of 7 feet 6 inches (2.29 m) and tentacles 120 feet (37 m) long."

Every Story Tells a Picture, Don't It?
THE ITALIAN POKER CLUB
Six retired Italian Floridian fellows were playing poker in the condo clubhouse when Guido loses $500 on a single hand, clutches his chest, and drops dead at the table.
Showing respect for their fallen comrade, the other five continue playing, but standing up.
At the end of the game, Giovanni looks around and asks, "So, who's gonna' tell his wife?"
They cut the cards. Pasquale picks the low card and has to carry the news.
They tell him to be discreet, be gentle, don't make a bad situation any worse.
"Discreet? I'm the most discreet person you'll ever meet. Discretion is my middle name. Leave it to me!"
So, Pasquale goes over to the Guido 's condo and knocks on the door.
The wife answers through the door and asks what he wants? Pasquale declares: "Your husband just lost $500 in a poker game and is afraid to come home."
"Tell him to drop dead!" yells the wife.
"I'll go tell him." says Pasquale .

Debbie was showing me around the garden today... pointing out all the things she likes (which is everything...) and she started to get excited about the Praying Mantises that are just hatching out of their egg case, she's been watching all winter of course.
Well our collective eyesight isn't what it used to be, but anyway it seemed like an opportunity to document yet another natural occurrence, so I went and got the camera...
with the macro lens I had to get up close, and the closeness revealed the story of an ant raid on the egg case, with some of the juvenile Mantises getting away...
here is one encountering the ants, moments later it jumped off the egg case...
and another one having a rest after a harrowing entry into the real world

Hi Ed,
Great photos of life and death drama. Say hi to Debbie for me.
Here are some photos of our garden. We used to have a Sargent's Cherry with a twenty foot canopy. Every square inch was covered with blossoms. It was twice the size of our neighbors tree, which is hampered by the sidewalk. It is the same age as our's would have been if it hadn't passed away, maybe 65 years old. Here's the neighbor's tree.
After ours passed away, the root stock started sprouting. Unfortunately the resulting tree had no blossoms. We decided to try to graft some branches from the neighbors tree onto the root stock shoots. It is now the second spring and two out of the three are still doing well.
In this photo you can see the stump of our old cherry on the left. Next to it is a four inch trunk of one of the volunteer shoots. At the base in the middle and right are the two grafts, now blooming.
Here's a close up of the grafted branch that is doing the best. You can make out the climbers tape I used when grafting is still rapped around it at the base.
We will probably need to figure out a way to graft to a shoot after it reaches four or five feet tall. For now it is just so cool that it actually worked to graft the two types of tree together.
Cheers,
Zander

This is Dubbstehp. He is my favorite local here in Sacramento.
He doesn't ask for money, or say very much.
He's wise with his accessories... Chop Sticks, a Sonicare, or today, a Battle Axe, looted off an Evil Agent of the Dark Realm I'm sure. Some days he's wearing a cape, some days not a whole lot...

That's pretty much the way i "roll", my standard operating procedure also!
But i do recall the time i decided to use barge cement to apply leather sides to my eb's while sitting on the couch in the living room of a condo myself and a friend were renting in Mammoth one winter. very nice condo. very nice carpet. nice carpet, that is, untill the whole damn can of barge cement somehow tipped itself over onto it. i distincly recall my roomate, just as he was leaving for work, tell me it was a bad idea from the get go. i also recall replying, "no problem, there is no way that can is going to tip over."

On our way down the coast we stopped in Port Angeles. Thought about maybe upgrading our water taxi at some point and we checked out these options:
Possibly a motor boat? Approx $28M, helicopter optional.
or perhaps a mega sailing yacht, Tamsen at 178 feet, Perinii Navi design.
More info: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lZp7ebl1wjI
Then we realized we had to bag it since we are paying for our own camping at Facelift. Oh well.
Backstory: Tamsen is designed by the same person who did Maltese Falcon. She pulled into Port Angeles just after we left the Custom's Dock/Fuel Dock as we tied up opposite her. She was there to get fuel, 10,000 gallons. I was a little insulted, the Customs' Agent didn't even come out to talk to us, Mike walked into the little office for check in. When Tamsen arrived at least 20 Customs' Agents swarmed her! Her masts are so huge they have red navigation lights on at night while at dock...for air traffic!
Evviva is a mega motor yacht that we saw frequently as we came down the Inside Passage. Her cruising speed is approximately 10 knots. Ours, 4 to 5 knots. I am assuming that there were several chartering parties that had chartered Evviva during the time we made the one way trip. When we would see her at Marinas or underway she carried a very nice helicopter on top.
Oh, the good life. But at least we have camping reservations at Yosemite!

That's great Reilly. That's the Sherwin Summit grade, isn't it?
If so, I think it eats RV's from time to time. Was heading up that way with a pal and my kids to Tuolumne a few years back when traffic came to a dead stop (mid-week). When we got to the scene, it was just a carcass of an RV. Check yer coolant folks... it's a long hot slog up there!

Reilly,
I thought that was a scene from 'Breaking Bad!' The sound of a meth lab going off...
ec
Edit: Fletcher, not just coolant. I've seen flaming transmission fluid literally dripping out from underneath one of those. It was a surreal moment in Sequoia, super quiet afternoon, kicking it in a turnout after climbing when this RV chugs to a stop just short of us. The driver hops out with his extinguisher, only to get a 'puff' out of it. The look on his face...I'm f#cked! I had one in my van and put it out for him...

Bull balls are the best sturgeon bait available around the Delta. I had to throw back a 600-pounder because I already had a bigger one in the boat!

Just to show every picture doesn't tell all of the story. You'll never know all of the story.

This is "Amina".
She earns 1.5 ~ 6 taka (0.085 USD) each day working as a 'firewood bearer'. She goes to and fro along the banks of the Kaptai Lake (Bangladesh) over a distance stretching one and a half mile, countless times, everyday. Both her father and mother are day laborers as well. Their broken shed reeks of alien fumes, aboriginal organisms and bactericidal that are considered 'lethal' for the city people.
A look that screams of hardship, of not giving up, of a muted protest against gender discrimination in a land where being a female equates one as a second class citizen.

Cosmic, I thought the same thing and went to look at mine and then decided to post. Train gage is different as well. Most of the old pics I post are ones I had access to as a teacher. I would use them in teaching with powerpoint. I wish I could give proper credit to the photographers or collections; but I have lost track over time.
Other local transportation snafu:
other local transportation
The average number of trips in a steamboat's short life was a remarkably low 20 trips as they were lost in the treacherous navigation of the river and the dangers of boiler explosions. Locals made and lost fortune's insuring the main cargo of cotton and the ships themselves. I used to have a figure for the cost of building one; but can't locate it now.

A few years ago one of my students went on an end of summer trip to the mountains with three friends. Not experienced mountaineers but they did climb a 3rd class peak. On the way down one of them fell on some old icy snow in a gulley and unfortunately did not survive. A few months later my student wanted to go back and asked me to go in support. So I went with two of them. It had snowed since the accident so I fitted them out with axes and crampons and going in we went over the basics of safe snow and ice travel. When we got within sight of the bottom of the gulley where the kid fell, I stopped and they went on alone. I took this image as they returned to me.

Edge, gud one! Those damned Slap-tailed River Rats!
So we had 'gone up the river' in Alaska. Found us a real nice sand bar
and started to set up camp. After getting the tent up and the beer safely
arranged in the river we took a little walk. The nearest tree just above
us on the bank was a huge Cottonwood - at least 3' in diameter. The damned
rats had chewed through all but about 8"! God knows what was holding it up!
I proclaimed, "No way I'm sleeping here tonight with this still standing.
The odds might be in our favor but just in case ol' Murphy snuck into one
of the river bags that Cottonwood is coming down." And down it went after
very few wacks.
I well understand being deprived of the satisfaction of the felling but was
it really necessary for those guys to spend the whole night slapping
their tails on the water just yards from our tent?

Ha. I knew someone would say that. But no, that's right downtown, a block from my office.
Here's another view:
It reminds me of something I saw a long time ago. In ages past people in the Canadian prairies used to buy pile seat covers for their car seats in the winter. I remember passing a gas station with a sign out in front saying "Fur Pile Special." But like the tree in the "_assblowing" sign, there was a small tree in front of the gas station which, from a certain angle, blocked the "l" in "Pile" Allowing all of us little juvenile delinquents to snigger about "Fur Pie Special"

I pointed to two old drunks across the bar from us and told my mate,"That'll be us in ten years.

Tobia: that's a forum bug, I believe, it's happened to me.
The way to trigger it is to post something that is a post numbered as a multiple of 20 (so it's the last post on a page of a thread).
Then, before someone adds a new post, edit your post. When you save it, you'll see that odd view.

I can't find any evidence that anyone rides down the one in the photo above, however
[Click to View YouTube Video]
also
You can take a run down the mountain year-round for about $20.
In summer, they use a sled with wheels, which isn't as fast as those which run on ice
but still gets up to a speed
of about 65 mph. and can pull 2.5 G in the corners
(on ice, they pull 4.5 G!).
I took a ride and was blown away; the turning velocity of the wheel-bob
makes motorcycle roadracing seem
tame, especially when it goes nearly upside-down through the banked turns.

Oh Ghost, I am so sorry. This is a very special bike to me and I worry about it being stolen all the time. It was hand made at the Bianchi factory in Italy to fit me. It has a "handmade medallion" and signature on it which I worry is like a spotlight to "notice me". However I did eventually swap out the stem when I didn't want to ride in such an aggressive posture. I also cannot swap out the front cluster for 3 chainring which I'd really like to have a better climbing ratio. Ravages of age!

While working my way back through this thread trying to find where I left off, on Nov 3, 2012 you posted a photo of Sophia Loren and "Jane Russell". Nope, that was Jane Mansfield.
Just thought I'd point that out - being as old as I am, my memory isn't what it used to be, but the differences in actresses from that era are still with me:

North Yellowstone winter traffic jam
Bison....even staying in the correct lane around the blind curve
For fun, since there was no traffic around, we thought we'd just wait and see how long before the Bison moved, after 20 minutes we said "screw it" and drove around. As soon as we drove around it, it sauntered off
And then the big horned sheep....they were moving fast, but taking up a lot of space

Tom Waits. The original hipster? If so, was a hipster before anyone knew what that was and before most of 'em were born.
Always liked his take on Heigh-Ho (the seven dwarves song) on an album covering Disney Tunes. Somebody had a dark sense of humor. Darkest Diz cover ever, maybe. Those worker dwarves: oppressed and building resentment and angst as slaves to the man (probably Walt!). Workers of the world unite!

Ekat: This is the short-weekend on my annual two-week sales rep---educate (clinic) the store employees, trip to Montana & North Idaho.
I got to K-ville late afternoon, tomorrow is catch-up on email, do laundry, and maybe buy new tires, & Monday is, see retailers, and drive to Missoula.
I time this trip to be mostly work & Heidi & I leave for 10 days in SE Utah for fun about the end of April.
I am always amazed at how much foul-weather I can find in Montana in April!

Sad face on that one, Jaybro ... that's what I would call littering.
Glad it wasn't you stuck out there.
The homemade climbing wall pic ... funny. I wonder how many people were on recreational drugs??
;)
At my second Bean Fest a climbing wall was brought up (don't know why, we were surrounded by rock) and I won the woman's competition by climbing the wall with crampons on ... in the dark. I'd never had crampons on ... didn't matter... all I had to do was move UP... and quickly.
The prize? $25 gift certificate to Summit Hut and more beer.
The "contraption" photo with the naked butt...
Speechless.
;)

I think I spied San Antonio Falls on Mt. Baldy in the beginning. Other shots look like Taquitz. From 1938!

Pmac, that pic of the skateboarders reminds me of a time I was headed into Aspen over Independence Pass @ about 10:00pm. We saw these weird lights up ahead weaving back and forth across the road. When we finally got to the lights it was 2 guys boarding down the pass (like your pic), each with partially empty 6 packs in their arms. We stopped to talk to them and it was obvious that there were other chemicals coursing through their veins, we continued on just shaking our heads...ahhh, Aspen in the 70's.

The arrival of someone famous was something to look forward to, especially when they were kings like Babe Ruth, ”King of Swat.” Ruth made a trip throughout the US accompanied by Lou Gehrig (LEFT) and was met in Fresno by Father Crowley.--As Pop "Fresno's Finest" Laval Saw It
Marlow, how much do you know of American culture? For example, can you answer this?
During the 1927 baseball season, Ruth hit how many home runs?
A simple yes or no.

The answer is: no...
Everything I know about American culture I have learned on Supertopo or by reading newspapers or books.
Neither do I know much about Norwegian culture, the passing-times of Hjallis, famous Norwegian speed skater, when he won 10000 meters during the 1952 Winter Olympics in Oslo as an example.

A simple yes or no.
I wonder how many Americans could tell you how many home runs Babe Ruth hit in 1927? A few elderly baseball freaks maybe, but not many others.
On the other hand, go into the local Starbucks and pry one of those typical Americans off his/her iPhone or iPad, and ask for details on the latest Miley Cyrus video and you'll get flooded with trivia.
Now, back to photos...

This is a section of the BNSF from the Bear Creek Bridge to the Amtrak Station in Merced. Many famous and many more not-so-famous Norwegians may have traveled this section on the Amtrak San Joaquin.
But the picture is telling a totally different story to you, isn't it, Marlow?
God knows how Reilly is affected by the drama of BENT IRON AND THE FORCES IT TOOK TO BEND IT.
But I'll just let the picture tell you about that.

What you see in the photo is a "pitch lap", the tool used for polishing optical glass, with some 3 micron polishing compound.
Here's another.
And since "every picture tells a story, don't it?"
I wonder what this man's story is...
His name is Chris and this is from our 1983 Jr. High yearbook.
I recently recognized a panhandler as being this same punker boy all grown up.
I wonder what went on in the 30 years since I saw him last.
It really made me think, and feel fortunate for the decisions I made and the path I eventually took.
I wish he could have found something like rockclimbing.

The little car that liked to tuck its wheels inward, like fold, on flying over big bumps and launched Nader's career. Just think, if it wasn't for the Corvair, Gore might have been president.

to Guido's image,
Wallace and his third wife, the former Lisa Taylor, meet with Vice President George Bush and Arkansas Gov. Bill Clinton at a lobster bake at Bush's residence at Kennebunkport, Maine, July 30, 1983. The third Mrs. Wallace, whom the governor married in 1981, was 30 years his junior and half of a country-western singing duo, Mona and Lisa, who had performed during his campaign in 1968.

Marlow, that is a fan jumping. In Prague. He died too. Here is the actual info. This was his third time jumping onto the stage but this time security couldn't reach him fast enough to stop his nutty jump. The Lamb of God's Randy Blythe has been arrested for causing the death, apparently to have allegedly pushed the fan.

I'm sad to hear, but it can't be the same incident. The guy in the picture is really jumping the best he can. It's stagediving. I can see no way the jumping position he's in can be caused by being "pushed back into the audience where supposedly he fell and hit his head"
Here's part of the "Lamb of God" story that you linked: "This incident deals with a fan that three times during the concert jumped the barricade and rushed Randy during the performance. It is alleged that the third time, security was not able to reach him and that Randy pushed him back into the audience where supposedly he fell and hit his head.”
Mira Craig and a Norwegian stage dive gone bad (it ended well)

Pomerania (German: Pommern, Latin: Pomerania, Polish: Pomorze) is a historical region on the south shore of the Baltic Sea.
"Pomerania in all languages is derived from Old Slavic po, meaning "by/next to/along", and more, meaning "sea", thus "Pomerania" literally means "seacoast" or "land at the sea", referring to its proximity to the Baltic Sea.
Pomerania was first mentioned in an imperial document of 1046, referring to a Zemuzil dux Bomeranorum (Zemuzil, Duke of the Pomeranians). Pomerania is mentioned repeatedly in the chronicles of Adam of Bremen (ca. 1070) and Gallus Anonymous (ca. 1113).
Differing regional names of Pomerania include: Kashubian: Pòmòrze or Pòmòrskô, Pomeranian German Pômmern, and Latin Pomerania or Pomorania."
"Divided between Germany and Poland, Pomerania stretches roughly from the Recknitz River near Stralsund in the West, via the Oder River delta near Szczecin, to the mouth of the Vistula River near Gdańsk in the East. The biggest Pomeranian islands are Rügen, Usedom/Uznam and Wolin. Pomerania belongs to the lowlands of the North European Plain. The biggest Pomeranian cities are Szczecin (German: Stettin), Koszalin (Kashubian: Kòszalëno, German: Köslin), Słupsk (Stôłpskò, Stolp) and Stargard Szczeciński (German: Stargard in Pommern) in Poland, and Stralsund and Greifswald in Germany. Gdańsk (Kashubian: Gduńsk, German: Danzig) and Gdynia (Gdiniô, Gdingen) are historically Pomerelian cities, nowadays belonging to the Polish Pomeranian Voivodeship. Outside its urban areas, the region is characterized by farmland, dotted with numerous lakes, forests, and small towns."

bravecowboy, the photo was taken back in the mid seventies at Suicide Rock. The climber is my old high school buddy and climbing partner Steve Rockwell who became an astro-physicist before becoming a couch potato which gives him plenty of time to contemplate the cosmos. Still bug him to go climbing to no avail, oh well such is life here on earth.

Holy sh#t Charlie, 'sides sharing an amazing photo from the wayback machine with me, you share pertinent story with me.
Thank you.
I am at the cusp of dirtbaggery vs academe, the lip of lazy vs do something. Your story means near to as much to me as it may to you.

Hey--
When I drove off before removing the gas hose from my tank, all that happened is that a fitting on the hose broke.
No damage to the pump itself, no panel came off, etc.
Only a $1200 bill to my insurer!
I know, you're wondering what kind of fool would do such a thing.
I just hope I never have to wonder what kind of fool would do such a thing

Hey Edge,
There is something satisfying about doing dovetails. I haven't done any in quite a while, but they are a beautiful holding device in metal or wood.
I won't be doing much in the near future since I'm contemplating surgery for a herniated disc.

Steve, same versatile joint, different scale. I love hand cutting dovetails, I get to listen to music and get in the proverbial zone. These are new to me, through dovetails with mitered corners on the ends. Something different.
Good luck with the surgery!

Yakutsk
'The Road of Bones' - aka the highway built with Gulag labour, literally. Here, prisoners who died at work were interred into the fabric of Stalin's Kolyma Highway. Without a rail link to the city, the highway is the only major land route into and out of Yakutsk.
"A woman returns home from university. While most of the city's population are indigenous Yakutian, many ethnic Russians and Ukrainians have moved to Yakutsk."

....or in this case journals. Getting ready to put these in safety deposit box. Every day since I knew I was pregnant with my son I have written a journal page to him. He is soon to be 23 and I still do it. Many stories from the birth and adoption of pets to the death of some of those same pets; his first girlfriend (in 4th grade) to my heartbreak of how to tell him I had a serious form of cancer and he was just starting college and I didn't want to rob him of a moment of that glorious time. There are two journals in there that were never continued; they had been started when I was pregnant but miscarried. They mean no less to me than the ones that chronicle my son's life.
I am so thankful everyday I still get to write from sharing the mundane to the excitement of this voyage of life.

The Sphinx is said to have guarded the entrance to the Greek city of Thebes, and to have asked a riddle of travellers to allow them passage. The exact riddle asked by the Sphinx was not specified by early tellers of the stories, and was not standardized as the one given below until late in Greek history.
It was said in late lore that Hera or Ares sent the Sphinx from her Ethiopian homeland (the Greeks always remembered the foreign origin of the Sphinx) to Thebes in Greece where she asks all passersby the most famous riddle in history: "Which creature has one voice and yet becomes four-footed and two-footed and three-footed?" She strangled and devoured anyone unable to answer. Oedipus solved the riddle by answering: Man—who crawls on all fours as a baby, then walks on two feet as an adult, and then uses a walking stick in old age. By some accounts (but much more rarely), there was a second riddle: "There are two sisters: one gives birth to the other and she, in turn, gives birth to the first. Who are the two sisters?" The answer is "day and night" (both words are feminine in Greek). This riddle is also found in a Gascon version of the myth and could be very ancient.
Bested at last, the tale continues, the Sphinx then threw herself from her high rock and died. An alternative version tells that she devoured herself. Thus Oedipus can be recognized as a "liminal" or threshold figure, helping effect the transition between the old religious practices, represented by the death of the Sphinx, and the rise of the new, Olympian gods.
In Jean Cocteau's retelling of the Oedipus legend, The Infernal Machine, the Sphinx tells Oedipus the answer to the riddle, to kill herself so that she did not have to kill anymore, and also to make him love her. He leaves without ever thanking her for giving him the answer to the riddle. The scene ends when the Sphinx and Anubis ascend back to the heavens.
There are mythic, anthropological, psychoanalytic and parodic interpretations of the Riddle of the Sphinx, and of Oedipus's answer to it. Numerous riddle books use the Sphinx in their title or illustrations.
Michael Maier in his book, the Atalanta Fugiens (1617) writes the following remark about the Sphinx's riddle, in which he states that the solution is the Philosopher's Stone:
Sphinx is indeed reported to have had many Riddles, but this offered to Oedipus was the chief,
"What is that which in the morning goeth upon four feet; upon two feet in the
afternoon; and in the Evening upon three?"
What was answered by Oedipus is not known. But they who interpret concerning
the Ages of Man are deceived. For a Quadrangle of Four Elements are of all
things first to be considered, from thence we come to the Hemisphere having two
lines, a Right and a Curve, that is, to the White Luna; from thence to the Triangle
which consists of Body, Soul and Spirit, or Sol, Luna and Mercury. Hence Rhasis
in his Epistles, "The Stone," says he, "is a Triangle in its essence, a Quadrangle in
its quality."

In March 1997 I climbed the east face of Whitney. We summited after dark. Not only were we treated to a lunar eclipse but the Hale Bopp comet hung in the night sky. Might be the coolest night of my life. I may have some negatives someplace but no scanner. You'll just have to use your imagination.

Dehli Dog, your pic reminds me of a time in Mexico.
I was down in Mexico a number of years ago helping to build an orphanage. We had a group of high school kids helping which I was leading and on the way down in the bus we passed an overturned LPG truck that was on fire. There was one police car with a guy with a fire extinguisher trying to fight the fire. Our bus driver was an LA county fire captain and he said he would stop to help, but if that thing blew it would damage a 1/2 mile radius and since we had the kids we better skedaddle…

Guido idk who's idea of a cougar that is but it's not mine.
I don't see the token muffin top. The rear end has not become one with the back and upper thighs.
I am petty sure whomever put that add together is a 19 yeAr old intern and maybe blind?
And yes ladies most of us men are pretty f*#king gross ourself by 25 if we are lucky. Many of us much sooner.
That woman is a babe if you ask me and not in the cougar sense. More like a babe in the petty sure those days are behind me sense..

Thank you Ghost. Love the vintage boats. And I especially love the gray sky!
I finally did a Ropes Course. Climbed to the top of a 40 foot pole, struggled figuring out how to stand on it, then JUMP! Of course I was in a harness, but if I were younger ... I totally got a smidgen taste of what BASE must be like. That moment of facing the jump into the void and then doing it...it is alive!

Dr. F. I am sorry to say that Red Bull is on the my and other's "Shist" list since it was reported from Patagonia in 2010 that Red Bull sponsored climber David Lama and his Red Bull sponsored film-crew, had defaced Cerro Torre with a bunch of new bolts and a bunch of left over gear when they retreated from their project of producing a "Sport-route" for David Lama.
http://www.supertopo.com/climbers-forum/1319502/Bolts-chopped-on-Cerro-Torre
Under the auspices such a topic title I wish I could report that I have chopped some of Maestri's bolts, but I have not. The bolts I chopped two days ago are some of the many that David Lama's film crew placed last summer.
Above the col of Patience (the shoulder) I came across 20 “David Lama-Red Bull bolts”, as opposed to the 12 reported by Lama himself and the person responsible for placing them, the Austrian mountain guide Heli Putz.
Also worth noting Lama and the Red Bull film crew left 5 haul-bags of stuff on the mountain last season when they bailed out of town, including the 700 meters of fix line on the route. About a month later they hired three Argentine guides to clean up their mess. They did a great job and managed to pull most everything off the route, with the exception of two haulbags (not one as reported by Lama and Putz). Just four days ago two Argentine climbers brought down in disgust those two remaining haul-bags and hopefully will hold their contents up for ransom.
In his response to the debacle Lama wrote saying that for his second attempt to free the Compressor route during the 2010-2011 season they would take a different, lighter approach. However reports suggest that the team size has been increased rather than reduced, so again in this case Lama’s statement might be but a diversion.
With the level of misinformation that the Red Bull crew is dishing out their fancy fizzy drink is fast becoming the modern Kool-aid. Dont drink it!

An everyday ride to work bike
Hmmmm. I don't know about that. I ride to work everyday on a bike, and looking at that thing doesn't make me want to give up my steel frame. And bars. One good pothole, and it looks like you'd be eating asphalt.
Now I could be wrong. Wood is an amazing material, but...

One of mine from last night. This trail begins 50 yards from my apartment and this was my first time biking in 3 (?) years.
I'm entertaining offers for the most creative ways to replace this POS ride. Ride it off the Naked Edge with a wing suit and sell the story to the Enquirer?

Two of 4 bucks down at my well this morning. The Big Guy on the right has been hanging around for well over a year. (how do I know it's the same one? He has yellowish eyes at night and is clearly larger than the other bucks). He's also the boldest.
The other two had just trotted into the woods to the left.

As a follow-up of Perswig's post
In just spring the goatman came over the bridge, a stout old man in overalls, long gray hair and beard.
We just passin thew, said the goatman...
...When Suttree came up the goatman turned as if he'd sensed him there and he smiled and nodded.
...Suttree took the cards. The cards were old but the goatman by the fire was not changed from him that posed upon them.
Aint no need to rush off.
What makes you think I was rushing off?
I don't know. But you welcome to stay.
I'd better get on.
The goatman watched him. He was trudging out across the field.
Say, called the goatman.
Suttree turned.
You know if you had a goat or two down here they'd be good company. You never would be lonely.
What makes you think I'm lonely? said Suttree.
The goatman smiled. I dont know, he said. I aint wrong.

THE STORY: Once upon a time, the biggest mountains were unconquerable. The sport of rock climbing evolved from the noble efforts of explorers and mountaineers of the past, who developed a myriad of techniques to ascend them.
Today, much of what is called "rock climbing" occurs indoors, on simulated plastic holds. As it turns out, vertical climbing is a natural ability of the human body, which makes great exercise, or even a competitive sport.

Packing for warm water diving. So easy. Although one time TSA tried to confiscate my regulator. Instead they settled for the teeny tiny Allen wrench I used to adjust some things on the regulator. Ok ... Was I really going to take the plane apart with a teeny tiny Allen wrench??? Another time the "odor detectors" locked onto me and I got pulled aside for "further inspection" evidently residual sun block on my dive mask gives off something that is similar to explosives!!!!
Go dive time!!!

There was old man Perkins
Sittin' on his stool
Watchin' Butch and Jimmy John
Talkin' loud and playin' pool
The boys from Silver City
Were standin' by the fire
Singin' like they thought
they were the Tabernacle choir
And I wanted you to see them all
I wished that you were there
I looked across the room
and saw you standin' on the stair
And when I caught your eye
I saw you break into a grin
It feels so good feelin' good again

Not just ANY French press, Fuzz - that is none other than Dr. Piton's Shagadelic Big Wall* Coffee Press. I added the blue foam and duct tape to insulate it, and it keeps the coffee HOT for 45 minutes! It has been lovingly sealed with Marine Goop, as I am known to dribble.

Marlow, that looks a heat exchanger/exhaust off of some Brit WWII bomber IMHO.
Could as well be German but more Brit bombers crashed in Norge than Germans.
If there isn't a lot more debris around then I'm going with a sophisticated

Goatboy, my cousins were sitting in their farmhouse one night and heard a loud
WHOOMPF! They went to the front window and looked out to see some lights
about 75 yards into the corn field. Unbeknownst to them their mule had made
good his escape from the barn but we'll never know why he wanted to cross
the road. When they got to the car the drunk in the front seat was unhurt
but rather more dazed than a few minutes earlier and kept asking
"why is a mule in the back seat?"

I don't know what was going on sixty years ago, but if that thing is somewhere the temps go below freezing in the winter, you could spray up a pretty good ice climb...

Some stories told by pictures can use a little elaboration. I have to say I'd never heard of MAB. Now with an assist de Fritz we can all be a bit better informed.
Looks like the censors have been at it again.

I shoulda taken the Courtesy Shuttle. Walking home from dropping my car off for service I hit an uneven sidewalk joint. DOWN! Spread Eagle style. So fast I didn't really know what happened at first. Right on 41st Ave and Highway 1 entrance at morning commute time! One of Santa Cruz's busiest intersections. Morning entertainment for cubicle pukes. My palms are all abraded too, but can't really get a selfie of them. I think I'll SUE SUE SUE SUE.
And yes, I know what some people might chuckle about what it looks like!

If I could ever do an off width FA I'd call it "Courtesy Shuttle".

Good stories, they are, too.the Rev states this was the day we all swore "never to go to war."
Well, to show what that oath was worth: I'd already been in the service, he was 4-F, Yeates's number was gold, and Mark, he had to look after Brother Sebastian.

Corgis probably have the highest toughness to weight ratio of any dog. And plenty of smarts!
My folks had a wonderful Corgi named (Captain) Morgan. We loved to picnic up in the Wasatch canyons in the winter with friends and dogs.
There was a very large and ornery Malemute making Morgan's life unpleasant in the deep snow. In a flash Morgan dodged between the Malemute's front legs, turned upwards and grabbed a mouthful of belly. Malemute promptly yelled in fright and twisted to try to grab Morgan. By which time he had leapt 2 feet away and was standing his ground.
Malemute unhurt but definitely owned. Didn't bother Morgan again for the rest of the day.
Excellent little dogs. Sometimes I still miss that little guy.

Hey yeah, thanks, been mostly lurking, obviously, just not much to say
these days (here).
Logistical issues have been keeping me closer to home this year.
Got one trip up to Tuolumne/Tioga area, two weeks ago, that delightful
weekend included unexpected bonus of running into Melissa and the artist
formerly known as Shaggy, while successfully seeking out Lynnie.
Very sweet.
We'll work on getting me back up to where I belong.
My last previous trip to the mountains was Memorial Day, when we were up
at Chipmunk Flat.

The town musicians of Bremen
In the story a donkey, a dog, a cat, and a rooster (or hen), all past their prime years in life and usefulness on their respective farms, were soon to be discarded or mistreated by their masters. One by one they leave their homes and set out together. They decide to go to Bremen, known for its freedom, to live without owners and become musicians there. ("Something better than death we can find anywhere.")
On the way to Bremen, they see a lighted cottage; they look inside and see four robbers enjoying their ill-gotten gains. Standing on each other's backs, they decide to scare the robbers away by standing on each other and making a din; the men run for their lives, not knowing what the strange sound is. The animals take possession of the house, eat a good meal, and settle in for the evening.
Later that night, the robbers return and send one of their members in to investigate. He sees the Cat's eyes shining in the darkness and the robber thinks he is seeing the coals of the fire. He reaches over to light his candle. Things happen in quick succession; the Cat scratches his face with her claws, the Dog bites him on the leg, the Donkey kicks him with his hooves, and the Rooster crows and chases him out the door, screaming. He tells his companions that he was beset by a horrible witch who scratched him with her long fingernails (the Cat), an ogre with a knife (the Dog), a giant who had hit him with his club (the Donkey), and worst of all, the judge who screamed in his voice from the rooftop (the Rooster). The robbers abandon the cottage to the strange creatures who have taken it, where the animals live happily for the rest of their days.

Reilly! That's pretty cool. As you know the Langley was our first Aircraft Carrier, but per this Wikipedia article, it was converted to a seaplane tender in the mid 1930's.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Langley_(CV-1);
Unfortunately The Langley came to a bad end off Java in WWII.
Was your wife's Uncle still aboard?
In the early hours of 27 February 1942, Langley rendezvoused with her anti-submarine screen, the destroyers USS Whipple and USS Edsall.[9] At 11:40, about 75 mi (121 km) south of Tjilatjap, nine Aichi D3A1 "Val" dive bombers[1] of the Japanese 21st and 23rd Naval Air Flotillas[2] attacked her.
The first and second Japanese strikes were unsuccessful, but in the third Langley took five hits and 16 crewmen were killed. The topside burst into flames, steering was impaired, and the ship developed a 10° list to port.[9] Unable to negotiate the narrow mouth of Tjilatjap harbor, Langley went dead in the water, as her engine room flooded.
At 13:32, the order to abandon ship was passed. The escorting destroyers fired nine 4 in (100 mm) shells and two torpedoes into Langley, to ensure she didn't fall into enemy hands, and she sank.
After being transferred to USS Pecos, many of her crew were lost when Pecos was sunk en route to Australia. Thirty-one of the thirty three pilots assigned to the 13th Pursuit Squadron were lost with the Edsall when she was sunk on the same day while responding to the distress calls of Pecos.

Uncle Bob has passed but my bro-in-law remembers him mentioning having the P-40's aboard.
But he must have been transferred just before she was sunk. He was transferred to a
WWI vintage destroyer which suffered the same fate, not surprisingly, but he lived to
a ripe old age, thank heavens.
BTW, the Langley received the 'Mexican Service Medal', LOL!

The triple-whammy shutdown trying to hunt elk north of Elko, NV.
First... punch through an ice cap into a mud hole. That was fun.
Then a two-foot deep snow drift on half-bald street tires. Had to chain up to get out of that.
And finally, a broken shift tower.
Back to Elko for repairs and a hot drink, then try it again via a different route.

Hi Ed,
It's just off the approach trail to a popular spot, 5 minutes or less
from the car, in the book. Gary and I got schooled by it, then the next
year Jaybro and I did it on TR. I don't think it's been led but no
special reason other than apathy. Picture from 2011.
Glad to hear about Sam and the Kaukulators.

hey there say, all... having fun to finally take a fast peek over here... hope to get back and see more...
see more... say that reminds me of my rat (one of them, his name is
seymore)...
:)
oh, say, mchale's navy;
as to the post card, wow, that is SO FUNNY...
as to the cams, that you noticed were not there...
old history fun... you must have been so used to it,
that you never noticed...
and suddenly the 'door to the here now' is triggered, and:
there is a 'no match' as to the 'now a days'...
i love old history cartoons, due to that...
you know, the old telephones, etc, and things that SHOW up... :)
happy good eve, thanks for sharing...
and happy good eve, to all...
nice fun here...
oh, studly, nearly forgot...
great shots, that 'sometimes you need two'...
wheww... what a view, as if to climb OUT and not just UP...
edit:
where were you guys, there??
HERE'S MY RATS:
my rats... they are a pair of brothers...
eating:
of all things, a pear...
well, pieces of one, :)

What could the story be here? Just a couple rap lines behind the seventh largest natural bridge... Right?
Well somebody, left the ropes tied to the anchor, while distracted by scared eight year old, unfamiliar with the concept of the spider rap...
And had to drive back,
After a day of guiding,
And hike in 2+ miles,
And jug the hundred foot free hanging ropes,
Fix the anchor,
Rap,
Pull the ropes,
Hike out in the dark.....

I know Clarkia, it sits in one of my favorite ID zones for sure!
Thanks for the pics Banquo and Fritz thanks for the link...don't know how I missed that. That stateline country is amazing, you find garnets in the bottoms and I have found(and never taken) many arrow heads along the stateline. That zone makes me feel alive and alone, even though their are roads and trails n'sh#t.
Small world...I bought a PUR from you after RepVisit to Pipestone and that sucker was with me on most of my MTB traverses of the stateline and even MTB approaches to Kelly's Thumb. You ever spend time in the KellyFork zone?

The fenders, the frame, the house next to it... Just a big open-pit mine now. The axle is probably still there. It's a very lonely road.

All those pix are from the Napa quake last year. I just happened to roll into town a few hours later after climbing in Tahoe/Truckee. The quake actually even woke me up in Incline at 3:30am. I was on my way to Napa anyway. Funky timing. ;-)

David Crosby looking good.
Wooden ships indeed. Neil Young's boat was docked down the way from us when we had our boat over in Ko'Alina (Oahu) for many years.
Never saw him or the boat go out.
A beauty though for wooden boat lovers.

J.C. Penny would invite worthy candidates for advancement to his home. When the servants brought dinner, if the guests dared to put salt or pepper on the perfectly prepared dishes, before they tasted them, they were fired.

Tami,
That is the lower back above the last pitch above my sister's gluteus maximus. Weirdest accident in the family archives. She was staying at the beach house of her son's bride. The afternoon on the eve of the wedding, she took a nap before dinner. Feeling the call to the ladies room and not under the influence of anything other than Benadryl, she failed to see the need for more light other than that of a dim nightlight.
With that darkened thought she believed she was seating herself on the toilet, which she wasn't, instead placing herself on a ceramic trash can that splintered and gashed her back and a little lower.
Those are the facts; although the Emergency Room doctor asked her 3 times if she had been drinking. He wouldn't accept her response of no and that she doesn't use alcohol or any other illicit substance. As I told her, she probably doesn't need to start.
Stahlbro, cool pic.
↓ No, she is semi-retired. She had to lay down in a small Kia SUV to travel home from Charleston, SC to Alexandria, VA. She stood throughout the wedding. Today she said it was healing fast and had no pain. The best day since the accident (Oct. 2). Sitting is a problem when required. I don't relish that thought.
She keeps asking me "where is the taco?"

Thanks Tobia. That was at the bottom of a slot canyon in southern Utah. Last place we expected to see fresh bear tracks. Tracks looked like a momma and 2 cubs. It was a little nerve wracking until we came to the first intersection with a side canyon. It looked like the bear family went up one branch, so we opted for the other ;-)
That is one crazy picture and story about your sister! Hope she is all healed up.

Stahlbro,
I thought it was. Everyone in my family asked me if that was my stand (I sent the pic out as if it were). The pic isn't mine, not sure where it originates, someone sent it to me.
I'd rather see a bear as opposed to a poacher; which is more common in these parts and they sometimes defend their intrusion with their gun. No bear would do that...
Susan, mighty nice to get your prayer flag carried to those heights.

Was sent on a secret mission last week, with not much to go on, other than "Meet JB at Zuma -- MIA"
A bit of googleing led me to a restaurant called Zuma in the Brickell neighborhood in Miami. I wasn't sure whether I'd totally blown the assignment, but MIA is the code for Miami's airport, and since Zuma was a restaurant, and I was hungry...
But after filling my face (and soaking up a couple of carafes of sake), I realized I should maybe check out my surroundings. Was the mysterious "JB" one of the wait staff? Would s/he show up on the pathway beside the deck I was pigging out on? Was it one of the other diners? I checked the view from the deck.
But wait... Forget the buildings across the water. Forget the diners clinking glasses and silverware around me. What was that... that thing... right in front of me.
Hiding behind a palm tree was...
And with a sudden "SNAP!!!!" everything became clear. "JB" could be none other that James Bond. And of course it was crucial that I meet him. So I leaped off the restaurant deck and was about to leap up onto the deck of the yacht when I realized...
Damn. That thing is rocking!
Yeah. Right. James Bond may spend part of his time doing secret-agent sh#t, but what he's really known for is... Well, yeah, that was probably what was rocking the boat. So I let it be, and connected with him the next day.

Cool story, Reilly.
From the link:
Glacier Girl has roared back to life, nearly 60 years after being abandoned on a glacier in Greenland and entombed under hundreds of feet of snow and ice.
The P‑38 Lightning, one of the fastest planes in the sky during World War II, was among six fighters and two bombers forced to crash-land during foul weather in Greenland on July 15, 1942.
The crews were rescued, but the planes were left behind and nearly forgotten.
As a boy in Middlesboro, Roy Shoffner had become enamored with the piston-engine, propeller-driven P‑38s and imagined flying one of the planes, which could reach 405 mph at altitudes of up to 35,000 feet.

Take every bit of code from the last / add a line inside square brackets,

the ability to do any of this is not worth the trade-off I made;
A crap cracked right hand
that healed the least and slowest,
still a claw in the bitter cold so no ice climbing any more. . . . .but I digress

All great a grateful Dead show from 1977, in Ct, with the lead
"1977 was a very good year" ...~ and yes, yes it was. . .
An informative how to make a hologram viewer
by making a stand of plexi-glass in the shape of a square 'cone
tipped upside down pyramid; ( so triangles put together )
Placed on a monitor that is lying flat as if a table then
when the image shines up thru it reflects from all sides
appearing as a hologram, three D sorta!
The other two? I remember a manipulation with a Rihno

Nah. He saw my ads for another editor, and instead of submitting a resume by email like everyone else, he showed up in person. His writing samples weren't that great, but his salary demands aren't going to put much of a hit on our budget (food scraps are cheap), so I'm thinking of hiring him anyway.
Weird though. He (she?) just showed up on my window ledge last week, and hung out for at least fifteen minutes, interacting with me. Even when I brought some of the staff into my office, he stayed. Didn't seem to mind us being inches away from him, and acting like...
...Hmmm. I'm reminded of someone looking at the monkeys in the cage at the zoo...

That sort of thing went on BITD on the company roads before the lawyers and insurers got
wind of it. What y'all ain't seen are the ginormous rigs they ran (and still might run) on Vancouver Island. IIRC they weren't allowed on the highway except for brief stretches.
They made THock's rig look like a pickup and normally carried loads almost as big, but
relatively safely.
SOP on the island...
Here's one next to a normal semi...
When yer driving the backroads of the island and you see a sign saying no private vehicles
you better damn well believe it cause those dudes take up the WHOLE road!

Wow - that is a wonderful image (desert travelers).
Brandon - Yes, NH! They are here in ASheveille, NC.
I first saw the rig passing me heading north on Merrimon a few weeks ago. As they passed, I only noticed the big green-nessness of the thing, and that it had the cutest little door in the back. I should have gone round and taken a pic when I spotted it again, parked, just a few days ago, but they were backed in against brush and it seemed intrusive to do so. It is sort of a gypsy caravan type of door with a roundness about it.
When I took the picture, the rig was parked at the Arboretum here in town. It seems to be a place we travelers tend to set up for a few hours in a day doing what we will do. Sure, there is the arboretum(small and park-like, and no dogs allowed) and a greenway trail that runs a good mile or so(for dog walks), but other than that it is a good place to nap, make a little food, listen to the radio or work on jewelry. At least that's what I do.
It is a heavy build, for sure, but I would think that base could handle a good amount more. At least I would like to see a back porch added - hahah.

Mmm, marmot.
Timid, that is an awesome photo; be happy to see more if you're willing.
His firearm looks like either an o/u rifle/shotty combo or maybe a 'drilling' of three calibers, handy for a sustenance hunter.
Cool stuff. Thanks!
Dale
edit: any idea how old he was in these photos, Timid? Imagine the vertical gain to forage those critters and pack them back to the village; probably leave me in the dirt at twice my age. Any shots of him with the 6-foot piolet peak-bagging?:) Thanks again, neat to see.

Hey red swami ? Where is that path ?
to be fair, my guess - the top of Stair Cliff, ?
it seems I recognize the off-set of the blocky arete;
beyond the railing ?
I know I know that spot
For Where it is though ? I'm at a loss
ugh, for what follows, my apologies,
The Dead Owl pics are gruesome, to much for this thread or anywhere
but- here - I wrote this and then moved it, , , ,
Little z,
The thing is I can see how sad this was all the way around.
Someone who was hungry from the inner city got it together,
and with the wrong tackle, made it out past the regular reservoir park,
caught a bigger than usual bass, - just out of its winter mud hole.
the fluorescent yellow rubber worm and 1/2 inch hook,
went in outside, hooked mouth or eye, of the fish
but caught the owl in the breast area at the base of the throat
but that fish dove deep ,
stayed there till the line was abandoned,
then in the dark of night the fish surfaced,
and the owl seated at the waters edge saw the struggling fish
Swooped in and was almost immediately snared,
The owl took the fish, but caught by line & lure danced to death as dawn broke on the shores of a pond. (Yikes, sorry -not ment to offend)

Out for today's walk in the woods, I was drawn to a sunny ledge half way up a large rock outcropping. A few technical moves and I pulled into a seated position on the ledge, only to notice that I was not alone.
These two Western Terrestrial Garter Snakes were outstretched in rivulets of water warmed by the sun and rock. As we were all clearly there for the same reason, we quickly reached an amicable agreement and sat in silence together for some 20 minutes or so.

Reilly, perhaps you are thinking of the Western European Celestial Garter snakes, which have been know to fly long distances with coconuts duct taped to their undersides.
If you look hard enough, you can probably find several in this pic.

Ogwyn George
The nine RAF airmen who lost their lives that day, 9 April 1940, when the RAF Sunderland Flying Boat L2167 from 210 Squadron was shot down, were the first Allied servicemen to lose their lives in the defense of Norway. They are remembered with a special ceremony each year at their graves in the Sylling churchyard, north east of Oslo. There was one survivor – Welshman Ogwyn George, the radio operator – who fell 3,000 feet (900 m) without a parachute, hitting trees and landing in unusually deep snow. He was discovered and rescued by Norwegian Johan Bråthen.
The remains of Sunderland L2167
In 1950 the Norwegian Erling K Strangebye was living at an American hotel in Bremen. He worked as an escort officer for an international organisation for placing the many uprooted people.
One day he went into the hotel’s antique shop his eyes caught 12 small silver cups with the Luftwaffe emblem on them.
All had the name “Leutnant Lent” on them with a date, place and aircraft type.
What he had found was 12 of around 60 small silver cups that Leutnant Lent had received from the luftwaffe, one for each shootdown up until 1943.
Three cups refered to shootdowns in Norway, one of them had “Leutnant Lent Fornebu 9.4.1940 Sunderland” this was when Leutnant Lent shot down the british flying-boat.
Strangebye bought the cup for $50. In 1967 he finally moved back to Norway with the cup.
In April 1972 Ogwyn George (the survivor of the Sunderland) came to Norway to take part in a TV program hosted by Erik Bye. Two days later he went to the Hotel Continental in Oslo and gave Leutenant Lent’s Sunderland cup as a gift to Mr George.

Susan -- that picture is so totally the opposite of the mountain biking I did that it's hard to believe it's even on the same planet.
Still, anytime you can get off road on two wheels is a good time, right?
Here's a picture (lifted from the web) of what we were doing on the North Shore bitd. I think when you say "North Shore" now people think of all kinds of man-made jumps and bridges and planks in then sky, but back then it was just trying to find ways of dropping down through 3,000 feet of steep coastal forest.

how often have you showed up at the post office, only to find it closed during business hours?
also failed in your mission objective by leaving the camera behind on a trip to the p.o.?
this afternoon the brick flower bed retaining wall, and the window framed by bricks
were bashed right into the lobby and yellow caution tape blocked the sidewalk.
the diagonal parking space leading to the trauma bore three trails, identical
but for their freshness, of brake fluid discharge arcing into the space.
it's nice to live thirty out from a small town where one can wheel on into
the same parking place three times in a row ... till the fluid's gone.
happy sixty extra miles, tax day, 86046

My then 6 year old son Max made this for me as a Fathers Day gift in first grade. The carefully selected toilet paper spool was decorated with Mod-Podge and tissue paper in a stunning display of Cubism artistry. Since receiving this it has always been used on my edge banding iron, and has outlasted 3 irons and four shop relocations.
Max is 25 years old now.

Here's a little bit of trivia. Guido you'll love this.
Reading right to left: My grandfather, Georgio; My uncle Frank (Francis); My father Louis; My uncle George; My aunt Rosemary; My aunt Sadie.
This photo was taken circa 1909. My Dad was 3 years old. My grandfather was probably 25. He immigrated solo from Italy when he was 15 around 1900.
When this was taken he owned and operated a grocery store, butcher shop, and bar in Waterbury, CT. Whew!

Le baiser de l'hôtel de ville * Robert Doisneau
[Click to View YouTube Video]
Robert Doisneau (French: [ʁɔbɛʁ dwano]; 14 April 1912 -- 1 April 1994) was a French photographer. In the 1930s he used a Leica on the streets of Paris. He and Henri Cartier-Bresson were pioneers of photojournalism. He is renowned for his 1950 image Le baiser de l'hôtel de ville (Kiss by the Town Hall), a photograph of a couple kissing in the busy streets of Paris. Doisneau was appointed a Chevalier (Knight) of the Legion of Honour in 1984.
The identity of the couple remained a mystery until 1992. Jean and Denise Lavergne erroneously believed themselves to be the couple in The Kiss, and when Robert and Annette (his older daughter and also his assistant at the time) met them for lunch in the 1980s he "did not want to shatter their dream" so he said nothing. This resulted in them taking him to court for "taking their picture without their knowledge", because under French law an individual owns the rights to their own likeness. The court action forced Doisneau to reveal that he posed the shot using Françoise Delbart and Jacques Carteaud, lovers whom he had just seen kissing, but had not photographed initially because of his natural reserve; he approached them and asked if they would repeat the kiss. He won the court case against the Lavergnes. Doisneau said in 1992, "I would never have dared to photograph people like that. Lovers kissing in the street, those couples are rarely legitimate."
The couple in Le baiser were Françoise Delbart, 20, and Jacques Carteaud, 23, both aspiring actors. In 2005 Françoise Bornet (née Delbart) stated that, "He told us we were charming, and asked if we could kiss again for the camera. We didn't mind. We were used to kissing. We were doing it all the time then, it was delicious. Monsieur Doisneau was adorable, very low key, very relaxed." They posed at the Place de la Concorde, the Rue de Rivoli and finally the Hôtel de Ville. The photograph was published in the 12 June 1950, issue of Life. The relationship between Delbart and Carteaud only lasted for nine months. Delbart continued her acting career, but Carteaud gave up acting to become a wine producer.
In 1950 Françoise Bornet was given an original print of the photograph, bearing Doisneau's signature and stamp, as part of the payment for her "work", and thus her subsequent attempt at litigation in the 1990s was rejected by the court. In April 2005 she sold the print at auction for €155,000 to an unidentified Swiss collector via the Paris auctioneers Artcurial Briest-Poulain-Le Fur.

there's only one customer where this load is headed. it's a fuel supply sufficient to propel gut microbes,
mitochondria, and all the musculature parked alongside the south rim mule barn at the grand canyon. *
this produce can convert a tourist's chasm view into an immersive canyon experience that will last a lifetime.
along with enough methane to get their tour bus here from vegas. and yes'm, we got our dust settled this AM
ps, the small bales will be packed down to phantom ranch, to be digested on the return haul
* plus maybe a little grain ... along with captured and pumped, paleo rain

William Eggleston: Born in Memphis in 1939, he was brought up in pampered gentility on the family cotton farm in Mississippi (even before his prints began to sell, money was never a problem). A quiet child fond of music, he was sent to toughen up at boarding school and detested it, later drifting through a series of educational establishments while neglecting to acquire a degree. One thing he did work hard on was his reputation as a hellraiser, in the most impeccable southern mode. One legend has him driving in search of late-night whiskey, ramming his Cadillac through locked steel gates with Bach’s Mass in B Minor blaring from the stereo. Only when he came across a copy of Henri Cartier-Bresson’s famous book The Decisive Moment, some time around 1960, did he realise that he could take photography as seriously as having fun.
For most viewers, Cartier-Bresson’s genius is compositional, residing in his matchless ability to seize crystalline form from the fast-moving muddle of the everyday. Eggleston, however, was more fascinated by the sophisticated tonal properties of the photographs in The Decisive Moment: their interlocking play of light and shade, the way even the darkest shadows contained reservoirs of meaning. When he discovered Kodachrome film in 1967, Eggleston sensed that colour might do something similar for him, and went to work with his Leica and Canon rangefinders. He turned up later outside Szarkowski’s office at MoMA with a suitcase full of prints and slides.

Eggleston's a wonderful choice, Marlow, story-wise.^^^
She looks like someone's grandma who has only just now gotten out of the hospital and comes home to THIS OLD HOUSE which she's not been able to sell off so she can live on the income but it's not happening, is it? Might as well sit down and have a smoke and try to live with it.
"I'm not getting any younger and I don't know if I want boarders here. And the garage is full of his worthless old taxidermy collection..."
And life goes on and she lives to the age of 90, not winning the Lottery until her 89th year. What crap!

The bear that left this in my rock garden was heard and discovered by the dog at 2:45 am, laying face down on our back porch licking up spilled sunflower seeds. When I went to the back door he was just on the other side, and didn't budge when I flicked on the lights. He only retreated when I rapped sharply on the glass, stopping long enough to leave this token of his disdain.
Perhaps I should have offered him a themed fruit cup?

“The act of giving birth, be it a child, an idea or a work of art, is always accompanied by pain. The Huichol Indians think that the woman’s partner should share the pain and pleasure of giving birth: thus, while she is in labor, the husband sits on the beams placed on his head with a rope tied to the testicles. Every time you have a contraction, the mother pulls the rope. In the end, the husband felt so much joy at the birth of the child as the woman or even more! This habit of sharing the pain of childbirth, in which a man has a sympathetic attitude of brooding before the arrival of the son, is widespread among many natives. “

Images from a neighborhood gathering in the aftermath of the Cold Springs fire in Nederland a few months ago.
Families volunteered to clean up one mile sections of our 12 mile long road. My wife and I claimed mile 9 - 10, and we collected one large bag each of waste and recycling, which we dropped off at the designated spot.
I personally collected the piece of muffler, so I guess I finished exhausted.

The very worn state of that gargouille tells me it is not on this side of the pond plus I have a
hard time believing any good hummingbird mum would build her nest in plain view. I've
never seen one that wasn't at least moderately well concealed. But it is still cute. ;-)
Did you post that pic to insult my memory? I've endured many hours in Smith Hall!* I guess
I was so delirious to get back outside I only had eyes for, well, let's say living entities?
*Being the scene of many a crime I committed for one of my majors!

Started the morning with waffles. Went fishing, 4x4ing, watched some climbers and ate lunch, played at the park, napped, went shopping, hiked and got both kids to climb a short rock with rope and harness (though I confess I mostly just dragged the boy up), had some dinner. Pretty good day.

Reilly! I was impressed to see that some Idaho farmers ran turkeys like most ran sheep or cattle.
From the current issue of National Geographic.
Turkey farming helped countless families weather the Great Depression—and it was often farm wives who ran the cottage industry. This Idaho woman, camouflaged within an impressive flock in 1940, was likely one such businesswoman.
Hatching time could be chaotic: “Turkeys in the parlor, turkeys on the chair, turkeys in the dishpan, turkeys everywhere,” exclaimed an Emmett, Idaho, newspaper in 1933. But the birds didn’t just have the run of the house. They had the hills too.
Before commercial farming overtook the family enterprise by the mid-century, says Idaho historian Madeline Buckendorf, farm kids herded the birds “much like sheep.” She still cherishes the bell her grandfather would place on the “lead” turkey’s neck so the flock could be heard “when turned out to graze on the sagebrush-covered hillsides of the canyon.”

I don't get it, Reilly...those are paired so they can't be Canadian. ;0)Fritz, that is the way that the Fosters started Foster Farms in Modesto...baby-sitting turkey eggs all night, turning them, and then raising the chicks...in 1939 they invested $1,000 on a turkey farm there.
The Fosters probably never made a splash in the Forbes list like your home-grown JR Simplot, also starting out on a relatively thin budget.

Maybe in modern cultures, Patrick the Swayer.
In their hieroglyphic symbology, this is the sign for pravda, Comrade Sawyer.(I am telling a true story for a change.)
Interview an Egyptian from back in the time of the Kingdoms and it is likely he would tell you that lying, to him or his contemporaries, was among the worst things humans could do.
edit: I've consulted my hieroglyphics-studying neighbor. He sez the main glyph is a sickle, comrades. The secondary one is a wedge, indicating "truing" or "being on the level".

Montebello was built 1890 at Stockton by Richardson, Duck & Co. The ship was owned by Wilson Line, Hull, England. 1735 tons gross. Dimensions: 276ft x 35ft x 15.6ft.
Montebello sailed between Christiania/Kristiania - Christiansand/Kristiansand and Hull from 1890 to 1909.
The change from Christian- to Kristian- came in 1897. Kristiania is today Oslo. Kristiansand is still Kristiansand.

No sh#t. That water was _cold_, and she was just coming ashore after a long swim. Didn't seem to mind the cold breeze, either, because she hung out on the shore talking to another swimmer for quite a while.

Re: cold water - I'll leave this as a placeholder for a tale I'll try to dig up from a frogman-type.
Dale
[found it - apologies for the thread drift. Recollection of a Navy diver during an FTX or whatever squids call 'em.
"Picture a joint (training) op, North Sea. Naval SOF/Combat Swimmers/etc. from several different nations.
Also keep in mind that the guys from each unit are (ahem) ‘acclimated’ to the additional suckage that comes with having ‘NW Europe’ as their AO.
Picture weather and seas so bad, that the guys, in general, as a group, are just smashed. Crushed, frozen, lifeless in appearance, no energy. Done. A long couple of days and nights, with the last night and day being at least 5x (not joking) worse than the previous.
And a couple of them, recovering on a platform way too small to provide any real solace from the current sea state, become aware of a swimmer heading to their temporary, entirely inadequate oasis. Being 2km off the coast, something is obviously up, because said swimmer isn’t heading to shore, and he’s closer to shore when initially spotted. Not going to get into the additional time and energy required to swim to the aforementioned platform when temp and sea state is taken into account.
And upon recovery, said Swimmer (capital S now officially necessary) is a Creature from the Frømandskorpset. Really, more of an Avatar of some long forgotten Walrus Combat God of Warfare and Death. I say ‘Walrus’ because of a thick (all steel, no rubber) build and appropriate (facial) hair.
Because The Avatar came aboard, inquired about hot beverages available, traded glances with his frozen, pounded colleagues (every one of them a pipe hitting combat swimmer with lots of extra cold suckage time to his credit), pounded 2 large mugs of hot beverage, and then said words to the effect of ‘Okay, I am going home now’.
And then he jumped back in and for all we knew, swam to shore and home.
I think he probably bit a shark or two to death on the way to shore to take the edge off."]
Edit: (Who the hell shoots Chuck freakin' Yeager? Blasphemy!) Guido, I think the Avatar was thought to be one of the Danish instructor cadre, as the discussion was about the Danish Navy and its early implementation of scout swimmers; apparently, although tiny, this group is highly respected in that community even today.

Hey Fritz! Nice, that'd be the Salmon trip I'd be into. I have done the Main in jetboats for fire thingers and it's coo n'all but...hey, if you are into NatGeo, look for a July 1936 copy and check out the article on the Main. It is an great article that has a necessary twang to it that you'll understand as I think you are a River of no Return'r type eh?

Cragar: I fell into a job guiding on the Middle Fork Salmon, with absolutely no boating experience, in 1972. I learned to love that river, but only guided one summer before moving on to running an outdoor shop in Moscow ID in 1973. We used to be able to snag a private trip on the Middle Fork every 3 or 4 years from 1985 - 2012, when I had my 40th anniversary float on it. The river keeps getting tougher due to new rapids that result from fires & it keeps getting harder to win a permit in the river lottery.
Here's a link to our 2012 Middle Fork trip report on the NRS Duct tape diaries site. http://community.nrs.com/duct-tape/2012/11/29/middle-fork-anniversary/
The Main Salmon is a lot of fun too, but not quite as much fun as the Middle Fork. I floated it for about the 5th time this summer.

Ghost, dig the coloring of the hobo stove shot; made it my screensaver.
I haven't built one of those since survival school.
Thanks Dale. And this being the "every picture tells a story" thread, there is definitely a story behind that picture...
It was taken about 35 or 40 years ago. A couple of young guys, probably about 20 years old at the time, decided that they should try canoeing. I'd done a lot of wilderness whitewater guiding, and one of them (whom I climbed with a fair bit) asked me for some advice.
All these decades later, I have no idea what I told him. Probably nothing too important, but it must have psyched them up, because they decided to go on a "canoe trip."
Most kids, even if they'd had some outdoor adventure in the mountains, would probably have decided to paddle down a nearby river for a day or two. You know, get the hang of the whole canoeing thing, and, if it seemed cool, try something a bit more serious next summer.
Not Ryan and Randy. They found a canoe somewhere, tied it on to the roof of a car (probably borrowed from one of their parents), and drove a thousand miles north from Vancouver, left the car somewhere, and set off down the Nahanni River in the Yukon.
This was, at that time, a fairly adventurous undertaking. They were hardly the first to paddle the Nahanni, but it was still remote, and serious.
But that was only the beginning.
When the Nahanni dumped them into the Mackenzie, they turned north and paddled another 400 miles or so to the Mackenzie Delta, just shy of the Arctic Ocean. Here, they turned west and paddled up a tributary (maybe the Rat? I'm not sure) to the point where it originated.
No more water? No problem. They put the canoe on their shoulders and portaged. Not just a few hundred yards around a rapid, or from one paddleable spot to another, but over a f*#king mountain range. Yup. Over the continental divide and down the other side until they could unload the canoe into (I think) the Little Bell River. And down that to the Bell River. And down that to the Porcupine River. And down that to the Yukon River. and down that to...
...to, eventually, wherever it was they'd left their car.
This, their first canoe trip, was something on the order of 1,500 miles, with not just the usual river issues, but also the crossing of a mountain range.
Somewhere along the way, one of them took that picture, and Ryan gave it to me. So, I'm glad you liked it, and I hope this little story will give your screensaver a bit of meaning.
And, fwiw, a year later Ryan joined me on a trip to the mountains of Baffin Island. We did some fun climbing and skiing, and also had a local wildlife encounter, which you can read about here: http://www.supertopo.com/climbing/thread.php?topic_id=2727226&msg=2729094#msg2729094

No sh#t. If Ryan had ever bothered to take climbing seriously, he'd be one of the greatest ever. But, while he may not have been the greatest climber ever, he was the best climbing partner I've ever shared a rope with.
What does that mean? Well, to me, a great partner is one who is always willing to do more than his share of the dirty work. Whether that is washing the gloppy dishes in sub-freezing weather, or taking the lead when the going gets tough. A partner who never complains and always has an encouraging word for you.

Propane tanker flipped on I-5 right at the point where it intersects I-90 in Seattle. Both highways closed in all directions.
On top of which, it's pounding snow. Commute from Hell!!!! (I pedaled very slowly on my bike, but still passed a million cars in the parking lot known as Seattle.

Fritz, that javalina pic reminds me of a story from a stint i did in rehab in a farm setting. Along with all the expected farm type chores that were part of our attempts at recovery, there were 20+ chickens who free ranged in a mobile pen that moved every few days about the property and provided tons of eggs to supplement the kitchen supplies.
A visit to the hen house was a big hit with little ones on visiting day, until the time my roommate walked out with his wife and six year old to find all the carnage you would expect from a pine marten visit: feathers and bodies everywhere. He told his little girl that they were just sleeping.
Without their heads.
This juvenile Aberts squirrel likely froze to death in -16* temps and was pushed from the nest stilll curled up in slumber, landing here as he was found.

That drawing of TinTin buildering reminds me that I've often thought Herge (the guy who drew the TinTin stories) must have been a climber. Climbing appears in several of the stories -- in the Himalaya, the Andes, and elsewhere -- and he always has the movement and positions just as they should be.

Little Joe, my first ride on a skateboard was at Stoney Point back in the 60s. Yvon brought an early model out to Stoney to play on the newly constructed, but still closed to traffic, portion of Topanga Blvd when they were building in the Simi Freeway. It was a steep downhill ramp. Only surfer Chouinard was adept at skateboarding. The rest of us were terrified by the speeds that we reached with no way to stop or get off until it leveled off. Once was enough for me. Yvon never quit laughing.

Bringing it back to my shop to precut parts for a paint grade wainscot. Truth be told, once I started ripping it, a good deal was snorted and fashionably worn despite separate dust filter and collector.
Installing it today at a pizza place, three different people commented on how they 'love the smell of fresh wood.'
Another random dude stopped to gawk and asked if he could bring his preschooler by to watch for a bit. Alas, the perfect reply didn't come to me until he had left: "I dunno, can I swing by your place after and watch your wife shower?"

Tami I think that is Pamela Shanti Pack tweeting after a day of off width climbing. She is in her happy place, surrounding herself with items of comfort while sitting in her camp chair. She has her ab crunching exercise ball, a Valley Giant draped over her leg, a stack of offwidth climbing guides, a cup of hot tea and her platform sandals, which are way more comfortable than climbing shoes.
I dont know if any of that is true but thats the story this picture tells me

In the sailing world fellow sailors generally indicate Mike (Ferretlegger) carries more parts than a Third World Country.
His climbing rack for even a couple pitches resemble a multi week assault on El Cap.
Now as we prepare for multi day 4 wheelin adventure on the Kokopelli Trail we've "Got Parts", and tools... including extra axles, tie roads, steering stuff etc etc. Now to remember to take the extra water and gas!
I think it will be fun. I hope I can fit in!

May 9th 2009
The morning after i was hit by the car that drove into the patio at Plush...exactly where I was standing... I don't remember being hit, so this was a shock to see afterward ...
Grateful to have walked away from that at the hospital, a group of close friends, holding vigil, holding out their arms, welcoming me "home".
It was Mother's Day. Pickle and I had a great time, despite the deep cut and facial abrasions I was pretending not to have.
Anyway, before I have to throw my readers on, never take just one day to celebrate someone, celebrate everyday.
That picture really takes me back.

A Bond story by Marc Haynes
As an seven year old in about 1983, in the days before First Class Lounges at airports, I was with my grandad in Nice Airport and saw Roger Moore sitting at the departure gate, reading a paper. I told my granddad I'd just seen James Bond and asked if we could go over so I could get his autograph. My grandad had no idea who James Bond or Roger Moore were, so we walked over and he popped me in front of Roger Moore, with the words "my grandson says you're famous. Can you sign this?"
As charming as you'd expect, Roger asks my name and duly signs the back of my plane ticket, a fulsome note full of best wishes. I'm ecstatic, but as we head back to our seats, I glance down at the signature. It's hard to decipher it but it definitely doesn't say 'James Bond'. My grandad looks at it, half figures out it says 'Roger Moore' - I have absolutely no idea who that is, and my hearts sinks. I tell my grandad he's signed it wrong, that he's put someone else's name - so my grandad heads back to Roger Moore, holding the ticket which he's only just signed.
I remember staying by our seats and my grandad saying "he says you've signed the wrong name. He says your name is James Bond." Roger Moore's face crinkled up with realisation and he beckoned me over. When I was by his knee, he leant over, looked from side to side, raised an eyebrow and in a hushed voice said to me, "I have to sign my name as 'Roger Moore' because otherwise...Blofeld might find out I was here." He asked me not to tell anyone that I'd just seen James Bond, and he thanked me for keeping his secret. I went back to our seats, my nerves absolutely jangling with delight. My grandad asked me if he'd signed 'James Bond.'
No, I said. I'd got it wrong. I was working with James Bond now.
Many, many years later, I was working as a scriptwriter on a recording that involved UNICEF, and Roger Moore was doing a piece to camera as an ambassador. He was completely lovely and while the cameramen were setting up, I told him in passing the story of when I met him in Nice Airport. He was happy to hear it, and he had a chuckle and said "Well, I don't remember but I'm glad you got to meet James Bond."
And then he did something so brilliant. After the filming, he walked past me in the corridor, heading out to his car - but as he got level, he paused, looked both ways, raised an eyebrow and in a hushed voice said, "Of course I remember our meeting in Nice. But I didn't say anything in there, because those cameramen - any one of them could be working for Blofeld”

Really good comment Malumeti, and look at the obese German women, and that shrimpy little Russian dictator, but the real embarrassment is the only one in the picture looking directly at the camera and thinking - look at me (actually, how the phuck did I get here).
That boy-child Justonian from the great white north! Must be proud?
From Wiki:
After graduating, he worked as a teacher (whoa!) in Vancouver, British Columbia. He completed one year of an engineering program at Montreal's École Polytechnique before quitting in 2003. In 2005 he began a master's degree in environmental geography at McGill University but quit after one year. He used his public profile to advocate for various causes and acted in the 2007 TV miniseries The Great War.[6]

You are quite correct. Canada's current PM is a complete embarrassment. His qualifications for the position are:
1. Grade 10 drama teacher.
2. His father was a previous PM, (and also a complete embarrassment!)
You got 2 Bushs, we got 2 Trudeaus. Such is democracy.........

Yankin your chain Don! I remember the Oakland Oaks games in Emeryville, got a fly ball there once as a kid...........I played catcher, only exciting place for me, lots of action and crazy times. Lots of WW2 history in that part of the Bay Area back then in the early 50s. Also lots of places to explore and get in trouble as a kid. Golden Gate Fields Race Track, Berkeley Marina and Dumps, Police Shooting Range.........Berkeley Pier.........

RMN aka Tricky Dick is shown throwing out the first pitch of the '69 season for the Washington Senators. That's Ted Williams in uniform on the left, their new manager, and Bob Short, the owner, is on the right, next to Yankees manager Ralph Houk.
Williams' fanatic approach to hitting helped improve the Senators offense considerably, and inspired the team to its one and only winning season during its 10-year stay in Washington. For this remarkable turnaround, Williams was voted American League Manager of the Year. (Note: This was the only award that Ted Williams had ever won, but Joe DiMaggio had not.) As a result, attendance at RFK Stadium improved to over 900,000, the best attendance record the "new" Senators ever had. - Wikipedia

I must say, regarding crberg's cactus/cell tower: at least it has the look of native vegetation ... much better than that monstrosity on the drive down to Black Velvet Canyon, RR.

As it follows on the heels of The Brave Cowboy's picture this poor soul was most likely dropped but had no visible puncture woundsIt is strange a week before at this same place there was a baby squirrel that was alone and running over the young stoners feet.
That led to the 'Urbana' arming themselves with sticks, so I popped the little guy into my day pack.
Releasing him a ways away from the stoner zone. Pretty sure it's mother was hawk food?
THEN
SHE BEEN DRIVING FOR THREE MONTHS,
AND HAS CONTROL TILL IT COMES TO PARKING.
tHIS WAS THE RESULT O0F HAVING TRIED TO PARK STRAIGHT
just jockying in the drive way.
BUT SHE WENT FROM STOP TO GO AND HIT THE STONE WALL AT THE CORNER OF THE GARAGE. SHEESE, HER MOM SHOULD HAVE TAUGHT HER TO TAKE IT EASY IN THE DRIVEWAY AFTER SHE REVERSED THROUGH THE BUSHES INTO THE NEIGHBORS BACK YARD
ON HER 3RD TIME OUT,
THE '04 a4 IS tOAST AND iM phooked

My norsk ordbok gives hell as 'success' but a hellefisk is a halibut and seeing as how Hell is right on the water maybe the locals use 'hell' as slang for halibut. But then you could have success (hell) bringing in yer hellefisk so ...? On the other hand since it is right next to Trondheim's airport maybe it is Hell living there?

The Norwegian words "hell" and "flaks" have the same meaning. They are synonyms that can be translated to "luck" in English.

Viking grafitti - let's go to the Orkney - Scotland
and the Marlow ... eh... Maeshowe runes.
And then some known translations:
"Ingebjork the fair widow - many a woman has walked stooping in here a very showy person" signed by "Erlingr"
"Thorni f*cked. Helgi carved" (the official guidebooks usually tone this inscription down)
"Ingigerth is the most beautiful of all women" (carved beside a rough drawing of a slavering dog)
"This mound was raised before Ragnarr Lothbrocks her sons were brave smooth-hide men though they were"
"Ofram the son of Sigurd carved these runes"
"Haermund Hardaxe carved these runes"
"These runes were carved by the man most skilled in runes in the western ocean"
"Tholfir Kolbeinsson carved these runes high up"
"This howe Vermundr carved"
"Ottarfila carved these runes"
"Benedikt made this cross"
"Arnfithr Matr carved these runes with this axe owned by Gauk Trandilsson in the South land"
"Tryggr carved these runes"
"Arnfithr the son of Stein carved these runes"
"Thorir"
"Orkis' son says in the runes he carves"
The 30 inscriptions found in Maeshowe, make it one of the largest, and most famous, collections of runes known in Europe.
According to Orkneyinga saga, over 800 years previously, in the darkness of an Orkney winter, a group of viking warriors had sought shelter from a terrible snowstorm.
Leading the men was Earl Harald, who, at Christmas, 1153, was making his way from Stromness to the parish of Firth.
The Earl's party took refuge in an already ancient structure – the mound they knew as Orkahaugr. Inside, while waiting for the storm to abate, they carved graffiti into the stone walls. What drew these Norsemen to the tomb? Was it the legends of a great treasure that lay within?
"On the thirteenth day of Christmas they travelled on foot over to Firth. During a snowstorm they took shelter in Maeshowe and two of them (his men) went insane which slowed them down badly so that by the time they reached Firth it was night time."
Orkneyinga saga - Chapter 93
Other runes explain the Viking's purpose:
"Crusaders broke into Maeshowe. Lif the earl's cook carved these runes. To the north-west is a great treasure hidden. It was long ago that a great treasure was hidden here. Happy is he that might find that great treasure. Hakon alone bore treasure from this mound" signed "Simon Sirith"
"It is surely true what I say than treasure was taken away. Treasure was carried off in three nights before those." "Is to me said that treasure is here hidden very well. Say few as Oddr"
"He is a viking...come here under the barrow"

Ha! We were on a river trip in Alaska and found a nice sandy beach to camp on.
After getting camp set up we went for a wee walkabout after checking
our weaponry. This was serious grizz country. We climbed up the steep bank
and found a huge cottonwood, three times the diameter of your pic, nibbled
down to the same state and looming over our campsite. I wasn't going to bed
with that there so I went back for the axe to finish the job. The beavers
expressed their severe displeasure by tail slapping all flipping night 40'
from our tent!
ps
If you’ve never heard tail-slapping think of 20 ga shotguns going off all night 40’ away!

Reilly: That beaver-tail slapping fun escalates to the next-level, when they get more pissed & swim up close hissing & growling. That happened to me twice in the 1990's, when I was doing my best to master the arcane sport of night-time fly-fishing.
When I took fishing seriously, I caught an occasional night-time large fish by throwing my large fly at splash noises. When I took a bottle of wine along, I'd get frustrated with losing flies on everything from fish to nearby bushes, & the damn wine would all evaporate.
Here's the largest beaver-chewed cottonwood I've decided to not camp under recently.

A famous question in Norway is "Hvor var du da Oddvar Brå brakk staven?" (Where were you when Oddvar Brå broke his ski pole?). It happened during the ski relay in WM, Holmenkollen, Oslo, the 23th of February 1982.
I was there, but not in the right place. I didn't see it, though I heard it. It happened nearby.
They shared the 1st price with their teams. Today the Russian team would have been winners all alone.

This hapless little old microtower.....plugged with 14 Home Depot Dynabolt progression bolts in <70 feet (excluding two failed, oversunk studs/sleeves), and a poor, horizontally arranged ring hanger rap anchor. Fully 2/3 of these are adjacent to reasonable clean gear or potential piton placements. Oh yeah, the Band-Aids, unburied pile of sh#t and windstrewn Wet Wipes rounded it all out nicely.
Now don't get me wrong, I am guilty of drilling progression bolts, I too sometimes sh#t in the desert. But at least my actions pass the sniff test.

Sorry, but I’ve been reading a lot of Jung recently.
Every story points to a picture, an image, of what our minds are giving us.
We might have it backwards. It’s the image that matters, not the narrative.
That’s what makes the posted pictures so powerful.
The wonderful ones are more than a thousand words.

Same here and I have found a fair number of them in CA,ID and MT. I have some pics but mostly I just remember where they are. When hunting around Kern Co. we'd find em and my pops learned me the right way to treat artifacts at an early age. Did a MTB ride years ago traversing the the ID/MT stateline that bisected the Great Burn. We found multiple chip and head/tool sites. It was amazing to put yourself in the position prior to the burn. We found them primarily at the tops of chutes. The chutes almost always have goats in them. Maybe a good goat hunt zone..

http://standardnews.com/disappointing-vacation-spots/31/
31. Fantasy: Yosemite National Park, United States
Equipped with waterfalls, valleys, meadows, and forests for your ventures, Yosemite National Park is the ideal wilderness for camping and backpacking. Picnic, rock climb, horseback ride, or simply gaze at the vast beauty of nature… the possibilities for entertainment and enlightenment are endless.
http://standardnews.com/disappointing-vacation-spots/32/
32. Reality: Yosemite National Park, United States
Due to fluxes of tourism, the park faces habitat loss and aesthetic disfiguring.
...Hopefully this will help keep the tourist away to leave Yose to the climbers! : )

"Nail In the Brain," New England Journal of Medicine, 1993:
"The patient disclosed that 12 years earlier, he had attempted suicide with a nail gun directed between his eyes. Aside from right-sided facial droop and a slight limp, the patient had been symptom-free since the suicide attempt; he had had neither seizures nor episodes of loss of consciousness."

When Modesto was founded in 1870, it was to be named Ralston after financier William C. Ralston. Ralston's modesty prompted him to ask that another name be found, and the town was named Modesto in recognition of his modesty.
It was good enough for Robbins, dammit!

edited cuz it's puzzling
just a chunk of wood per each. this ^^^ is actually tax dollars spent. but scrape marks are a new to me.
hope they seed them cuz tumble weeds really dig disturbed ground but they can be out competed

In Utah & Nevada juniper (aka cedar) eradication was & is done to improve cattle grazing on public lands. The most destructive way to do it is called "chaining," although setting stuff on fire works too, but sometimes causes troulbe when the fire spreads onto private lands, or closes highways.
Stretch a length of battleship anchor chain between two big bulldozers & let her rip. The wood was not utilized. Archaeologists hate "chaining" quite a bit.
Post chaining landscape near Spruce Mt. NV.

What on Go'ds green Urth are you spending money on these days David?
Nothing that I know of that would send ads for a "pelvic clock" my way.
Sure, I do plenty of stretching, including lower back, but I don't look it up on the intardnet.
Same for you, right? I know stretching is important to you, and I assume your lower back gets stretched along with everything else. Do you get that ad?
Wtf is up with "pelvic clock"? Is there a ticking time bomb in my nether parts? Something crucial that I need to know about before the clock ticks down to zero?

The deer did not survive. I felt bad about that. Small town Wyoming justice occurred. I got a $235 citation for leaving the scene of an accident (a good Samaritan kindly offered to follow me into town; it was zero out and I was leaking fluid), and another $235 citation for littering (the deputy found a couple of pieces of plastic from my grill at the site). Wow!

The law in Wyoming is that if there is $1000 damage to the vehicle you must remain at the scene, even if it's a lonely road with no cell reception and butt-ass cold. I went straight to the sheriff's office when I got to town and reported the accident. Guess that wasn't good enough. I can go to Pinedale in April and argue my case. Seems like a lot of money and a little Arlo Guthrieish.

Mike: Per your accident & bad-cop experience story:
I got a $235 citation for leaving the scene of an accident (a good Samaritan kindly offered to follow me into town; it was zero out and I was leaking fluid), and another $235 citation for littering (the deputy found a couple of pieces of plastic from my grill at the site). Wow!
That cop must have had a "very-heavy" badge, or else you reminded him of his ex-wife's boyfriend. When I used to travel Wyoming as an outdoor-gear sales-rep, I'd see hundreds of dead deer along the highways & I had plenty of close-calls without quite hiting one. I'm conditioned to thinking deer-car collisions are so common there & there's so much empty space, that your actions were logical & saved the cops some trouble.
Things have changed, I guess. The State cop that investigated my accident when I totalled my Ford Explorer during a snowstorm in 1995, was real pleasant. I remember him asking for my ID, as I was sitting in his car & I explained my wallet was still somewhere in my upside-down Explorer. He laughed & said: "Oh yeah, you salesmen are just like us cops, you do so much driving your butt goes numb if you keep your waller in your back pocket." He wrote up the accident with just my name & plate # & did not give me a ticket.

A tough day for the nesting pair of Killdeer on our ranchette.
They have been nesting on the upper part of our ranchette for years on exposed gravel left over from the Lake Bonneville flood.
After a few weeks of protecting their ground level nest, the eggs usually dissapear.
The 4 eggs are at upper left/center.
A Killdeer parent protecting the nest by pretending to be wounded & thus drawing a predator from the eggs.
It didn't work again this year. The nest was empty yesterday.
Heidi at upper left & the very large snake trail that went to the Killdeer nest. It was likely a large Gopher Snake.

Guido! That photo was so striking, I needed to see its background story.
Here's the rest of the story, from Snopes.com
https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/tents-situation/
The putative victim named in the text accompanying this image, Michio Hoshino, was in fact a real wildlife photographer who died after being mauled by a brown bear on the Kamchatka Peninsula in eastern Russia in August 1996. However, this picture was neither taken by Hoshino nor recorded the circumstances of his death: it’s an entry from a Worth1000 Photoshop competition in which contestants were tasked with creating “a last-photo hoax: the final photograph of the victim, whoever he might be, had a camera on him right before ‘it’ happens.”

Ed! Maybe it wanted the tent intact, after the removal of the previous occupant?
Perhaps there were no nearby caves & it wanted the rain shelter?
And perhaps, photoshopping a bear in a tent entrance, is far easier than photoshopping one ripping open a tent?

A picture may tell a story, but some pictures are about story tellers...
We're moving in a few months, which has had us undertaking expeditions to the dangerous underground archaeological site known as "The Basement." All kinds of forgotten sh#t has come to light after years in the darkness, including a folder labeled "odds and ends" in a box that wasn't labeled at all. In the folder was this photo -- a picture of some story-telling climbers at the Boardman Tasker Award ceremony in London, almost three decades ago. We're all older now, and you don't have to worry about any of us scooping that new route you've been working on (well, Vic probably could), but we're all still telling stories.
The guy second from left is Victor Saunders. A pretty good writer, and a truly badass climber. They gave him First Prize. On the left, to Vic's right, is yours truly, who took home First Runner Up. Nowhere near Vic's league as a climber, but a badass writer. On the right is Dermot Somers. At least as good a writer as Vic or me, but the judges gave him Third Prize. I don't really know anything about the woman second from right (Pat Harding), or her husband (Mike Harding) who she was representing.

This one tells a story. I was moving fast on tile barefoot, making a turn, and slipped a little. My next obstacle was a set of two tile steps and my plan, of course, was to skip the first one. My slip threw me off a bit, I went for it anyway and came up short kicking the top edge of the second step with force. Pain ensued. That was six weeks ago. Pins come out in two more.
Sorry, my feet are usually well groomed. This sh+t kind of interfered.

Jeez dude, you're doing it all wrong. No wonder you're hurting.
Everyone I know puts the earbuds in their ears. I don't know why you tried to put them in your toe, but you probably aren't hearing much through them, so you keep cranking the volume, and the vibration is totally putting a stop to the healing.

SS Vesta, built by Palmers Shipbuilding & Iron Co., Newcastle in 1879 and owned at the time of her loss by Det Forenede Dampskibs Selskab, Copenhagen, was a Danish steamer of 1.122 tons.
On July 16th, 1917, Vesta, on a voyage from Seydisfjord to Fleetwood with a cargo of herring and wool, was sunk by the German submarine U-88 (Walther Schwieger), off the North coast of Scotland. 5 persons were lost.

On the one hand it's hard to believe it lasted 100 years. On the other hand the shape of it, the design is quite old. Perhaps it was washed up under some rocks for a long time and then released.

Something had to protect the paint and whatever material it is made from a hundred years worth of UV rays & other weather-aging. Maybe it recently made it to the surface(?).

For what it's worth, he was quoting someone, and the remark has been edited and dishonestly represented as his words. From Snopes:
"I am going to read a paragraph which is if true very ironic, and this is from Dr. Apt’s paper and I quote: “Wind energy is a finite resource. At large scale, slowing down the wind by using its energy to turn turbines has environmental consequences. A group of researchers at Princeton University,” which is in New Jersey, parenthetically “found that wind farms may change the mixing of air near the surface, drying the soil near the site. At planetary scales, David Keith, who was then at Carnegie Mellon, and coworkers found that if wind supplied 10 percent of expected global electricity demand in 2100, which is a number of years off, the resulting change in the earth’s atmospheric energy might cause some regions of the world to experience temperature change of approximately 1 degree Centigrade,” which I think is about 1-1/2 degrees or 1.6 degrees Fahrenheit."

A Madill 009-SP yarder on Clearwater Ridge, a few miles from Mt. St. Helens. Second shot was taken 2 days after the blast, the shovel next to the yarder was salvaged and scrapped.
Twisted and torn from the lateral blast which was 500 times the power of the bomb on Hiroshima. One of the earliest clear memories I have as a kid was when the mountain blew and rattled our windows hundreds of miles away and dropped ash all over our town.

When this
Turns into this
You already name your next truck “The Phoenix”
Returning from camping and the Vedauwoo Sushi fest we had a catastrophic mechanical failure that resulted in the axle and drive train breaking, somehow getting around the skid plates and puncturing the gas tank.
The car was on fire (unbeknownst to us) as we pulled over. When we opened the door the flames were under the truck, we jumped out, I got the dog out and Mike started using our on board extinguishers.... but they are small and the flames were getting bigger so they didn’t help much. As they ran out of poop, Mike stood there and said “I really liked that truck”.
We lost all our camping gear, a bunch of personal items and electronics (iPad, cell phone...stuff like that). Thank goodness Mike had his cell phone and wallet in his pocket so we had cards and ID to rent a car etc. My purse was burned up.
We went back to the tow yard and was able to salvage all the tools he had, some clothing, and the food in the coolers was untouched! I chipped my way through a mess in the front seat for hours until I found the remnants of my purse and actually found some things in my wallet...a scorched driver’s license but legible, a bunch of melted credit cards, and my water damaged insurance cards....and even some pictures, and very importantly a scorched National Parks Geezer pass! My pass port was burned in half...the half with a picture. I hated that picture anyway.
So all is moving along. Mike’s actively looking for The Phoenix and talking about how he would even change some of the modifications from what he did on the FlameBaby.
(Slightly Singed) Susan....but I didn’t like my eyebrows anyway.

Poetic license, ya know. Besides we did salvage many of the spare parts Mike had purchased. And the broken axel and drive shaft.
Yes we closed I70. Why do anything part way?
Many folks assumed it was the result of the gas cans on top. Nope. They were as empty as can be. However, we had several 20L water jugs packed in such a way the nipples got scorched and heavy smoke damage but did they melt and release their water to help the proceedings?....nope.
Oh well....back to shopping.

Robb, that’s the Red Cross’ backpack model packed RBC machine! When they go on the road for a blood drive they can bring a couple of those wherever! It sucks yer blood out, spins out yer RBC’s, and pumps the remainder back into you! Pretty awesome technology. The only downside is yer blood is cooled when it goes through the machine so when it pumps it back into you you get a tad hypothermic. I’m a big boy and I got pretty chilled - a small person could get quite chilled. But they bring blankies. 😊

i asked an alaska fish and game officer
about a dinkey little holster fastened to the external fuselage of his aircraft.
he pointed to the bear spray in his belt in an equivalent holster saying "we carry this stuff,
but to rely on a crummy piece of plastic trigger could turn out to be a fatal decision
should there be an in flight discharge inside the cabin."
that's a gov't reg that sounds ok by me

Hooblie:
That is pretty common in Alaska. Most float planes have storage compartments in the floats, and the bear spray goes in there. When we flew up there, we duct-taped the bear spray to the step outside for the same reason.

This is a bit strange. These jets flew over Yosemite Valley while we were hiking up the 4 Mile Sentinel Trail. I recall they circled at least once, so I was ready for them! I wondered if we were at war. I've been trying to figure what's going on in that photo. There's must be 3 jets in line, and then 2, with weird perspective and the telephoto helps to exaggerate. They were probably over-awed by El Cap and flew tighter than they could have otherwise.

Navy jocks out of Lemoore probably on their way to China Lake.
They weren’t as close as you might think.

I think the hologram was disrupted. Reilly, I know. A video at the right angle showing the 3 jets converging into one would be cool. I have something like that on video with 3 sailboats converging. The upper jet looks to be closest to the camera, but it could be the other way. Maybe you guys know how formations fly. A friend told me it may be a missing man formation.

Weird things inherited when buying a house. I sure would like to know the story behind this...
Pull those doors open, and there's a 12 x 6 cave back there. Only 3.5 high, but carpeted...

The pilot & passenger walked away from this plane after the carburetor froze and they were two minutes from airport for emergency landing before hitting
some tall trees.
The pilot died a week ago in a helicopter accident when ascending from low altitude on a lake. His rotor blades got entangled in
an unmarked power line crossing the lake.

Not a Piper Cub. Could be some kinda Piper though.
As for ‘unmarked’ power line, it is highly unlikely it was not on the current sectional chart.
While I may bad mouth the FAA on some issues they do a very good job with their maps.

Thanks Reilly, I will look it up. I just remember it was a Piper, Cub just followed instinctively.
Article only described the plane as a single engine Piper. The helicopter was a Bell OH-58 and owned by local law enforcement.
As for the power line, I've never seen one on a local lake or river without the orange balls. He was flying to Clayton AL to swap helicopters, both were due for routine maintenance. Reading between the lines in the newspaper, he was doing a little site seeing on Lake Mitchell on the Coosa River near Verbena, AL (130 miles NW). His passenger was never identified, so I'm not sure of the details but the pilot would not have been familiar with the lake.

The Viet Cong carried loads up to 900 lbs on bicycles pushed along the Ho Chi Minh Trail, much better than a tump lined load on the back. And the bicycle only needs a track a few inches wide to run smoothly.
http://www.historynet.com/pedal-power-bicycles-in-wartime-vietnam.htm
"Once loaded, it was not possible to walk close enough alongside the bike to use the normal handlebars for steering. Hence, a wooden stick or bamboo pole was lashed to the handlebars that extended far enough to allow the tender to hold and steer the bicycle. Typically, another stick was inserted into the vertical seat tube that was used to push the bike along or hold it back on downward slopes. The carrying capacity for these modified two-wheelers ranged up to 600 pounds, with the average load being around 440 pounds, versus the 80- to 100-pound load that could be carried by a single porter. A record was set at Dien Bien Phu with a single bicycle carrying a load of 724 pounds. This achievement would be surpassed a decade later when one bicycle, or as the North Vietnamese called them, “steel horses,” carried 924 pounds along the entire Ho Chi Minh Trail in 1964."

Since there were two comments on this photo, I wish to tell a little bit of the story.
The photo was on FB, but I identify the background as Lewiston Idaho, about 50 miles north of the border of large I = Idaho County.
I don't wish to imagine how much stink there was in that Subaru, but normal folks would be outside on their knees, retching.

Well then,
Back then I assumed I’d live my life as a musician (little did I know how derailed that career would get.) It ran in the family. My Dad was a seriously good singer, not so much an operatic voice but beautifully suited to Bach, Handel and so forth, and the man could sing Schubert. Omg.
You can’t see it, but that’s a German Steinway concert grand my stepmom’s playing on. There was also a harpsichord, clavichord, and a small portativ organ in the room.
Anyway, that was in the music room of this big old Victorian on Staten Island N.Y. We were performing for guests at a party. Our parties tended to be large crazy gatherings of musicians, dancers, artists and organists. I distinguish organists from musicians because they are, well, different.
At one of these parties one didn’t necessarily want to know what was going on up in the small third floor bedrooms originally for servants’ quarters, now reserved for debauchery of all varieties.
We had a sign we’d put up down at the bottom of the driveway:
INVITED GUESTS ONLY, PROSECUTORS WILL BE VIOLATED
I always got a special kick out of that since one of our neighbors across the street was NYPD, and the other was a parole officer.
So I guess the story behind the picture is the story of all of the craziness that transpired in that restoration project we called home.

The Gunks Carriage Road look at the "Uberfall", from Doug's Roof Late 1970sA short time after the transition
from pins & hammers to free gear,
It had to be late in the switch, '77? is a guess
many of us carried our hammers till at least 76
As far as the Top roping, that was always a part of things,
Hip belays for sure but
the Harnesses?
they were not as common as swami belts
What else seems strange
No chalk bags or EBs The Climbs just left of, underneath the UberfallThe top rope is on a climb called "Low Exposure" I think
Hopefully, Donald Perrey can add what year or Time period

That's funny, Marlow. I was thinking that maybe it was the organists that saw themselves (as) different!
