My flimsy excuses for not climbing today:
1. First day in a long time that I could just be at home without crushing work deadlines or other commitments. Enjoying lounging (and cleaning, and laundry, and watering the flowers, and changing sheets and cleaning closets, etc).
2. I climbed yesterday.
3. I will climb tomorrow.
4. It's cold outside (63).

Pansy. Wimp. Feeb. Coward.
63 is perfect climbing weather.
Me? I'm stuck behind a desk today, but aim to be out tomorrow.

Sir Viable--
Square tomatoes?
Yu think 'Califarnio' and hipster tomatoes comes to mind.
Merced's pretty tomatoes are round.
Green catsup was first developed by HJ Heinz Co. in Pittsburgh, PA, not in Pittsburg, CA.
The same for blue catsup. It was first marketed in 2003. Green was out in 2000. Surprisingly, the recipe for green catsup calls for green tomatoes! There are no blue tomatoes, only blue tomatos, who are upset over the plural, understandably.
Banana catsup calls for bananas (yellow) and tomato paste, not whole tomatoes. It also calls for 2 tbs of dark rum, added to it at the last.
Banana Dreams is a Clevenger route.
Catchy is a Pettigrew route.
Both are at the Cookie Cliff.
Waverly Wafers are delicious with any of the above condiments.
Nabisco offers a dynamite Wheat Thin with sun-dried tomato and basil.
Got the munchies. Bye.

:) Indeed. And lightweight. Fragile. Weak. Oh, I could go on. But, I will do so with a really clean house! :)

McLeaning towards mean.
I got that years ago. I was in my van parked down by the river, and I heard the announcer say so. I think it was in 19 something.

On-Topic and worth bragging about over and over and over again . . .
What are the 2 counties in the USA, where you can surf awesome waves, free-dive or scuba among large pelagic fish and mammals in Giant Kelp forests (fastest growing algae in the world, 2-3 feet in a day!), climb excellent rock on very well known crags, BC ski descend real mountains, and get deliriously hot on a desert hike looking for wildflowers, and paraglide and HG up to 14,000' riding thermals all in the same day? (Yes, certain years apply. Can't do this every year, but in these 2 counties within the USA we often can.)
Easy but great to know.
Edit:
OK, no one is guessing so it must be too easy and too well known.
San Diego County
A great book by a geography prof of mine . . .
San Diego: An Introduction to the Region [Paperback]
Philip R. Pryde (Author)

and
Los Angeles County
Now you know why everyone wants to come here. That and the weather. ;-)

It's supposed to be trivial and fun.
My triviality is surpassed only by my feelings of inadequacy, but you don't wanna hear me whine.
Like some.

does trivia have to be trivial ?
The world is full of self-absorbed trivial distractions,
and very few bright people,working on real problems.

The world is filled with bad-ass problems. Many of us, bright or dim, deal with them constantly. And seem to get no where near a solution.
All work and no play make Jack a dull boy.
To take a break now and again is the right of anyone not a slave.
The pursuit of happiness comes after the work. Most of us Taconians know this.
I am retired. I don't just wanna have fun, though. There are other things which I do to help relieve problems. I used to teach in a literacy program.
I still volunteer a few times a month as a docent at the local history museum. It isn't much but it gets 'em out from in front of the TV. And teaches them to read the screen on their I-phone.
t*j got me worked up the other day and I went online to scout the local volunteerism programs, looking for more.
Allow us to triviate according to our consciences.
Does trivia have to be trivial? I suppose it does. Other wise, it's serious trivia and the words seem different together, kind of meaningless...
It's a discussion point. An ice-breaker, too.
Nice to meet you, Kief. I'm Brian.
:) Hello.--middle--Howdy. (:
