I have fervently believed that "the badger" was the word, but then some of the people can be part right all of the time. Along came Jones and took out the trash.

I believe this was the 'B' side. Michele may be one of the dancers, then again she may not.

Tad, thanks for reminding me it's Easter Week.
Good pun, too.
zBrown is a brujo, full of miracle cures.
When he's gone we should mix some turmeric with his ashes and snort it, just for shids & grins, to see what happens...
but only if ya want to.
And only with his blessing and that of Michele, of course.
Hey there cinema buffs!

I'm thinking "major box office."
Stallone may have morphed into The Rock.
St. Andrew, protect us from your faults. Amen.
Gypsy, my dear friend, I saw your notice on the late John Renbourn on FB
On Musical Migrations for April 1, 2015 we will be taking our usual musical tour of the world with a brief stop for a tribute to the late John Renbourn and to celebrate the holidays of Easter and Passover. Tune in every Wednesday from 1 to 4 p.m. for a musical tour of the world. http://www.ashevillefm.org/musical-migrations
To show how unobservant I was, however, I missed the reference to Passover and Easter!
Here's my official Easter photograph, looking east over the Central Presbyterian Church's belfry.
Son-rise over a blue ridge.

zB,
The Clint quotes were super! I was laughing most of the time.
Great stuff, and yes, there must be at least ten or a dozen story endings in there.
thank you

Beautiful photo, MFM.
Son Rise? Wouldn't that be on SonDay?
The birds today were several Sandhill Cranes, many pelicans, and two red-tail hawks, which might make their home in my forest. The ravens who live in the forest up the draw are complaining about the arrival of the owls. I refuse to referee.
I met a guy at lunch today who is soon to climb Gannet Peak, then hoping to head for Anaconcagua. I told him about SuperTopo, so hope he shows up here. I mentioned all the TRs available.

Still no photo shop :(
What was the out come of Sonny Bono, skiing into a pole and dying?
I think that was the 'watershed moment' I seem to remember that
Helmets and more $$ to ski were the 1st most visible results ?
Not In the unified Outdoor industry. . . so I wonder what costs are what?
and when do the Profits from regulations, over take the need?? Dose lack of regulation = greater protection from liability?( LACK is the wrong word? . . .Less specialized? )
( a concept that is a paradox,)
and the forced compliance to maintain standards, along with the right minded need to keep 'Danger Dans' & 'Scary Carries' out of the top rope for pay circus,
When though dose it
pay the bigger guy to insist on more and more. . . costing then stifling competition
leaving the public with less choice.
(paying into the system is very good if $$/time spent = Knowledge/skills gained) .
But Credentials gained , given after completion and compliance with the standards, bring to bear the responsibility of having those credentials.
The Reason that some Volunteer Ambulance Corps.
programs and 'search and rescue clubs' are no more, is the Liability.
A long time ago before good samaritan law & rulings to the contrary rescuers were held liable for a failed rescue.
EDIT this was three disconnected thoughts, interrupted by something again and again so it no longer follows any thing that makes it seem to fit but if you can discern the line of thought,
Less Formal conscription to the big brother need for rule books and laws/ rules that favor monopolies and corprate structure over smaller, better for community sestainability
, Gnome Constant at least

The Phlegm(z)? Probably doesn't warrant a thread of it's own.
Scottish folks are an interesting lot.

"Tango" is beautiful!
Today there were a pair of beautiful sandhill cranes flying low over one of the wetlands areas, a graceful pair of merlins hunting over that same wetland, and many, many red crossbills at the feeders.
A very good day. But frosty.
zB,
For those of my elders who happened to be Scottish, but on the losing side at Culloden—not necessarily the wrong side—I thank you for that, sir. If anyone is hanging out in GB, the battlefield is hauntingly beautiful in the way of stones in a field. But I highly recommend the Orkneys for their standing stones, actually. Shore to shore archaeology. And then one digs . . . *

hey there sayge neebee, that was my "bad" for the day...
Timid TR and I had a wonder-fill session.
To soothe yer ruffled feathers, He-e-e-ere's Dougie and consort!
I think he had impeccable taste in women.
Doug and our "wood-sprite."
Thank you for the picture-image.
And thank you, Lord, for the memories I've yet to experience.
And fae, thank you for your burning flame.
I think he defined "manhood" from reading his articles.
