Nancy was Blond and we were in Love . . .
She did and I killt the Beaver, on the banks of the Beaverkill, at least I remember thinking, That's weird? Whats the Red from? We were young and in love so I wasn't hurting her, not one bit.
although she bit down a bit at at the beginning . . .

say, the ol' supertopo:
have a need?...
there's friends, here in deed...
whether sick or hurt...
they'll share advice, food, or their shirt...
if your out in the cold...
they'll hand you a tent, to unfold..
.
if you're lost and alone...
they'll use their ol' phone...
need a climber to meet for a week..
just drop a message here, to speak...
:) neebee

This was moved from Vitaly M's Moro Rock trip report See it is like this, I have been roped climbing & taking people on their 1st climbs for more than 40 years!
Many if not all of the folks who caught the bug, jumped off the east coast,the best gave up placeing gear along time ago.
The best man at my wedding was a sweet lady who never fell off anything up to 12b
She is in Boulder too. And never says hay, I do care but it works both ways
I do not have a face book page, although I'm not in the witness protection program
People can find me easily. No one wants to .
That's fine I've gone on with my life,wife kids dog house, still climbing (at lower grades)
And at areas that I have almost exclusively developed, all with short, 10 minute, approaches.
No tick strewn woods to hike thru, old roads and talus slopes, mainly.
I've got trashed ankles & knees so I limp out after a day of climbing,
I really wobble it does not inspire confidence in people who have just met me.
It takes me some time, I often suffer a solid day to recover.
So when a climb like this comes to my attention, I feel the need to
Say hey, don't be in touch, but listen to your old pal I still know Quality when it shows up.
I have no idea why Dana has stayed so aloof, our last climb together was sabotaged
By an old goat from the gunks, I could name drop but it is not acceptable so I hear.
Another climb on my radar is Astro Lizard, in Kolob out side of Zion,
but that's not a bolted granite test piece.
More of a crack thing that may not have had a 2nd free ascent and at 5.11 it sounds sweet.

I took my new friend there for a walk on this gorgeous spring evening.
The chile verde which I had was filling and tasty.
The corn tortillas were fresh, hand-made.
Her side order enchilada was plenty for Linda the lightweight. She's only 99 pounds, she claims, but women always lie about two things, maybe three...I've not figured it out yet!
She made it known tonight when we got back to the studio that she is going to head back to Nevada to her dad's--he must be in his late seventies, owns his own home, but hasn't the income to co-sign for her in obtaining an apartment; nor has she been able to contact a person who she hoped would like to move in with her, off the streets.
I'm not really interested in a roommate and I'm settled here pretty much until I'm history.
She remarked that she doesn't feel secure here. I can't hold her feelings against her. Her sister is in NV, too, though her housing arrangement won't fill Linda's needs. It is good to be near family, almost always. Gnome might disagree. :0)
So she's going to take it easy, not stress, redeem her return Amtrak ticket and hightail it back to Henderson on the bus.
It's fun and uplifting to trust to Jesus to find a way, but we need to learn when to quit. Poor Linda is very tired from being in the ER waiting room and so forth for a total of thirty hours, then sitting out front yesterday, probably worrying the whole time about what she was going to do and suffering the physical torture of wondering where to dump her c-bag...I am so glad she is releasing herself from what she would LIKE to happen but clearly won't.
Acceptance is a good thing, as Miss Stewart say.
Oprah say the same thing, too.
I'm pretty sure things are gonna be otay.

Way back in November you, mfm, posted a picture of a mustachioed Cyclops,
To the Bomz appreciation thread, the theard thankfully died .yours was the last post.
You want those phook ers here?
This is how I feel about that sir
No f * # k I n g way. . .
To the Jesbus h Bomz
Seems that as a father you worry about my parenting skills. Thanks for your concern.
I fear for the tyke you claim to care for, as well. Are you raising it well?
Climbing and working and all ways with the jabs.
I see you do a lot with the family good on you for that!
Do you think picking at scabs is a good thing for the community here?
Children need a set of morals to grow by, you seem deficient in common courtesy.
I don't address, you 'cause it is obviously a father son thing:
a son cast down, to suffer along with the flock, then pinned to a cross
I'd be pissed at me too if I'd done that to you,
I did not so drop it , or not.
Oh, right you have a very rude elementary understanding of written communication
That's over your head?
So it is all jibberish to the Bombz ?
I see many follow Jesbus.I don't .
follow me more I learn ya some morals ya missed comin' up .
** if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all,
Have you heard that one before?
make comments that are uplifting, give compliments.
If it is funny it should not hurt anyone's feelings,( to much)
fun is fun if it is all in fun but if it aimed to hurt you are being the jerk.
Build up don't tear into someone who may- be suffering through some thing.
Words, thoughts, spew from the screen can and does ruin a person's day
& it can be tipping point,
Is that plain enough?
Mfm,
Love the pictures though

Could be a lesson here for some of the old ST gang.
Eratosthenes determined the earth's size by observing known phenomena and applying basic arithmetic and geometry to them. Here's how he did it.
Eratosthenes' methods were simple but effective. All he needed to know was the distance between two locations and what percentage of a circle this distance constituted.
I cannot confirm, but I will not deny, that this photo, reputed to be a young Erastosthenes is actually him,
