About 15 years ago, I sent 550 of my best 1970's photos off to a company that converted them to quality jpegs. I have been able to share much of my 1970's climbing fun on ST with the help of those jpegs.

Of course, I realize, you are too either too poor, or cheap, to pay for your photos to be shared on a public site. That makes sense to me.

I suspect you will never quit whining, you wanker.

Well done, Fritz! But do try to stay on topic. The thread is titled TRE45ON.

Fritz seems unusually angry tonight. I recall that his pal, misbehaving Craig Fry, never put up any trip reports to speak of--after years posting here. Nary a peep from the good Herr Fritz.

And oh my the "whining?" A good 40% of this website is dedicated to left-wing whining, commiserating, and TDS. And Herr Fritz is among the whiniest.

That's interesting Ground Chuck and it jives with what I see on the job sites in terms of voter sentiment. Their strategies related to changing traditional views of the electorate is what really raises some troubling questions.

They have managed to increase the favorable ratings of Putin and Russia amongst Republican voters by double digits. Why is Rand Paul speaking on the floor defending Russia? What does Fox News have to gain by the advancement of Trump's Russia policy? How in the world does Trump get away with tearing down Nato while a deafening silence comes from his Cabinet. Doesn't it seem odd that Trump would start trade wars with our closest trading partners while traditional free traders in Congress do nothing? Who are we talking about when we refer to "they" and "their"?

A war is waging in the Republican party, and what's most shocking- the traditionalists are loosing to a nefarious cadre that has been cobbled together from Nationalists, Corporatists, Freedom Party activist, Zionists and foreign oligarchs. They have a multifaceted end game and beyond all reason, they are winning. If you're a giddy supporter, forget about the victory pary because in the end, you were noting more than a dull tool they manipulated to scare Red State Congressmen. They actually despise you most of all and I guarantee you Trump and his staff all scrub down after those MAGA rallies.

If ATG and Lituya are down on Fritz, he must be doing something right. Rock on Fritz (and let me know who you used to convert your slides).

Thanks folks for your support. Fat Dad: I can't remember the name of the Phoenix-based company that scanned all those slides for me long ago.

I had some quality-control problems with a few of their scans, but they re-scanned those slides to my satisfaction. Since then, I've been doing my own scanning, most recently on a Epson V550 PHOTO scanner. It works great for small batches of slide, but I can only scan 4 slides at a time.

ATG: in my dotage, I'm still climbing, but I am reduced to leading no harder than 5.7's, since I only climb a few times a year. Here's a Brokedown Climber photo of me following a 5.7 a few weeks back at COR.

Fritz probably needs a story to calm down.

My last crack bender was three years ago and when i smoke crack i like to really go the distance. i checked into a hotel with two cases of beer, a bottle tequila, 6 or 7 packs packs of cigarettes, a couple of lighters, about an ounce of crack, two pipes, a handful of porn mags and a bottle of baby oil.

i rolled my suitcase into the elevator. right as the door was closing i realized that i'd forgotten something and jumped through the door. i hurried back to the front desk.

"i dont want any phone calls. also, can you make sure that the porn is not blocked on the tv.?"

the girl at the front desk looked at me like i was creep. she was right.

up the elevator, down the hall and into my room. i rushed inside, set everything out on the table and selected the 24 hour all-you-can-eat porn. it came on in the middle of anal juggernauts 12. there is nothing like that first hit of crack. i wish i could feel like that forever.

so for more than 24 hours i smoked crack, watched porn and drank tequila. i selected the 24 hour porn buffet again. more crack. more baby oil. as i'm jacking off i hear what sounds like the bed squeaking in the room next to me so i get up to investigate and press my ear up against the wall. it IS the bed squeaking, and this couple is going to town. this is great. this is better than tv porn so i grab the tequila with my free hand.

this guy is really giving her the business. her moaning gets louder and faster. they keep going and keep going. she is getting just pounded and i'm really into it. moaning and squeaking. moaning and squeaking. this goes on for a while and i'm loving it. this guy is my hero. i can't believe he is lasting this long. when they're done i'm going to go next door and shake his hand.

after what seemed like 30 or 40 minutes they're still going but i'm exhausted and sit down in the chair to rest. i notice that i've gotten baby oil all over the wall. the hotel is probably going to charge me for that. so as i'm catching my breath i notice that they're starting to wind down in the next room. my breathing slows as they slow down and vice versa. suddenly i realize, there is no one having sex in the next room. the moaning was me. the squeaking was just my nose whistling.

Psilocyborg! What a fine story! It would have been better, if you had brought a tolerant cheap hooker with you, but in your case, I thank you for not posting photos.

Although I claim to be an old hippy, crack was not around, when I daubled in drugs.

I think this OpEd piece in the NYTimes today actually provides a good goal for our foreign policy vis-a-vis the Russians.

It includes criticism of the recent US administrations

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/07/20/opinion/andrei-sakharov-essay-soviet-union.html

By the mid-1970s I was serving as Sakharov’s spokesman, and I remember after yet another friend of ours had been sentenced to prison, he told me: “They want us to believe there’s no chance of success. But whether or not there’s hope for change is not the question. If you want to be a free person, you don’t stand up for human rights because it will work, but because it is right. We must continue living as decent people.

maybe a bit of decency would be refreshing on the STForum

Reuters:
DUBAI
Iranian President Hassan Rouhani on Sunday cautioned the U.S. President Donald Trump about pursuing hostile policies against Tehran, saying "America should know ... war with Iran is the mother of all wars," the semi-official ISNA news agency reported.
Addressing a gathering of Iranian diplomats, Rouhani said: "Mr Trump, don't play with the lion's tail, this would only lead to regret," ISNA reported. Other Iranian agencies carried similar reports.

And y’all think Trump is crazy?

God is already punishing Iran seismically. Hey, at least Trump warned the crankloons!

when was the last time you f*#kers looked at a map?!?!??

Yesterday, braj! Southern Sweden is disturbingly close to Iran!
And walking around Gothenburg I thought maybe I was in Shiraz!
Luckily there were a few token blondes around.

Mueller is having so much fun uncovering the complex web of corruption surrounding Trump that it may take 4 years just to sum it all up in a long awaited conclusion.
Unfortunately,I feel that Trump will attempt to shut Mueller down as his digging reveals more evidence of money laundering and crimes committed.

Can you imagine the outcry if Obama had said the things regarding Putin that have come out of Trump’s mouth.

You mean something like this?

But not everything is relative; we should not slip into collective amnesia over the Obama administration’s weak and underwhelming response to Russian aggression. Throughout his presidency, Obama consistently underestimated the challenge posed by Putin’s regime. His foreign policy was firmly grounded in the premise that Russia was not a national security threat to the United States. In 2012, Obama disparaged Mitt Romney for exaggerating the Russian threat—“the 1980s are now calling to ask for their foreign policy back because the Cold War’s been over for 20 years,” Obama quipped. This breezy attitude prevailed even as Russia annexed Crimea, invaded eastern Ukraine, intervened in Syria, and hacked the Clinton campaign and the DNC. Obama’s response during these critical moments was cautious at best, and deeply misguided at worst. Even the imposition of sanctions on Russia for its invasion of Ukraine was accompanied by so much propitiation and restraint elsewhere that it didn’t deter Russia from subsequent aggression, including the risky 2016 influence operation in the United States. Obama, confident that history was on America’s side, for the duration of his time in office underestimated the damaging impact Russia could achieve through asymmetric means.

Obama’s cautious Russia policy is grounded in three conceptual errors: a failure to grasp the true nature of the Russian threat, most clearly visible in his administration’s restrained response to Russia’s annexation of Crimea in 2014; a “long view” of historical trends which in his view inexorably “bent” toward liberalism; and the perception that formidable domestic political obstacles stood in his way when it came to crafting a response to Putin’s assault on the elections in 2016.

so what to do, well don't call you a disingenuous C word
Again

you'll just go cry to the moderators
that I what?
spoke truth from a position of power?



that Barry phooked up has been clearly pointed out. He was the worst president ever a feckless peace=nick, who's lazy work ethic led to Americans being mad at a N playing golf again & again, 7 times in one year, so he was a lazy N who had allowed all manner of them into the peoples house . . And he was a muzlum born in Kenya.
Am I right? right , got it....
Oblame was Such a bad man also how he whore'd around & lied about it. Didn't he even have his fixer pay-off porn stars for his un-paid for hand jobs ?....

**The worst president ever, because he capitulated & left office when he had proof that this next dick was bought & paid for, the worst because he Did not declare martial law, scrub the compromised elections & take actions against those who are responsible for destroying our democracy

What is also clear, is that this POS is not president he is the pussy grabber & thief. A dooshnozzel now trying to take over, has been bought; is a sold out puppet to the powers of evil represented by putin & kleptocracy in general,
in bold type just in case you missed what the meaning of is, is, & what it, what the topic is.

The fact that I will do well, in the short term, - due to what this aZse does,
plays no role in my decrying his fascist leanings and that he has sold out american values.
Less for ideological reasons,more in order to enrich himself at the free world's expense

Was joining the side of the un-free world, the dictatorships & authoritarian ruled kleptocracies that act openly against civilization what you voted for ?
