The reason for the slowness of this book is because we think we may have found a Federal connection with the plane crash.

Was the crash some sort of set-up for unsuspecting scavengers who could be easily followed to trace where they went and who they made contact with? Did anyone actually die in the crash?

^You need to attend the seance, obviously.

Remember when Houdini made the elephant disappear? Well after nearly 100 years there's still no trace.

Interestingly enough it occurred at the Hippodrome.

Many great books took decades to write. Don't give up now. You might even get Oliver Stone interested some day.

From a page on writer's block.


Margaret Atwood has written dozens of books.

How many books have you written, Licky?

(No, I haven't written any either But then I didn't spend the last 10 years pretending to be writing one either.)

This is probably not the right way to go.Maybe try beating a carrot with a Thai stick?

If that doesn't work, smoke the stick and eat the carrot.

(Reuters) World | Mon Apr 27, 2015 11:03pm EDT - Nine drug traffickers were being held in isolation cells at an Indonesian maximum security prison awaiting execution by firing squad, after Indonesian authorities notified them they had no hope of reprieve.

Security at the prison was heightened and religious counselors, doctors and the firing squad were alerted to start final preparations for the execution of the four Nigerians, two Australians, an Indonesian, a Brazilian and a Filipina.

Ambulances with coffins inside arrived at the Nusakambangan prison island in central Java, where the nine are expected to be executed as early as Tuesday night.

Anyway, had folks just heeded the words of

Nancy "she don't speak to servants" Reagun [Yeah, her Secret Service agent actually said that to a flight attendant I happen to know, kind of her take on saying no, no?]

and just said no

there wouldn't have been 2375 posts on the ST and countless hours of time wasted on such an irrelevant enterprise.

Most times, drugs don't kill people, drug users do.

I can't believe this thread keeps crawling along. I really don't have anything to contribute since I came to Yosemite about 10 years too late for this fun and games, but I do have a pic of the plane that crashed at Badger Pass on July 4th, 1978.

As Nancy Reagun used to say "every litter bit counts".

The only safe conclusion to be drawn from this is that Bush was not a servant of the Reagunz.


On the Indonesian front:

Despite sustained appeals from the international community, rock bands and global leaders, Indonesian President Joko Widodo, known as Jokowi, steadfastly refused to grant clemency to anyone convicted of a narcotics-related offense.
...
After months of intense lobbying and last ditch legal appeals, the families of those on death row said their final good-byes on Tuesday.
...
But in Indonesia, where many support the use of capital punishment, political analyst Yohanes Sulaiman says the executions will likely boost the president’s popularity.
...
A lawyer for the Bali nine pair has told of how the judges initially agreed to accept bribes of more than $100,000 for a lenient sentence.

Call the Indonesian Consulate at (202) 775-5200 and let them know you are boycotting Bali.

Corruption is behind these executions. The Indonesian officials know that by carrying out these executions they will be more likely to extort bribes from future suspects.

Meanwhile, U.S. Supreme Court is taking up death penalty again. Last time.

Justice Clarence Thomas agreed with the outcome but not the reasoning, instead determining that a method of execution is only unconstitutional “if it is deliberately designed to inflict pain.”


Indonesia Executes 8, Including 7 Foreigners, Convicted on Drug Charges

But the execution of a ninth convict, scheduled to happen at the same time, was unexpectedly postponed at nearly the last minute, according to the Indonesian attorney general’s office.


http://www.nytimes.com/2015/04/29/world/asia/indonesia-execution.html?_r=0

A Brazilian member of the infamous Bali Nine shot by firing squad on Tuesday was a paranoid schizophrenic so confused he didn’t realise he was about to be executed until moments before his death.

Rodrigo Gularte, 42, asked guards "Am I being executed?” as he was being chained up, ready to be transported to the jungle clearing on Death Island where he and seven other death row inmates were executed by the Indonesian authorities.

During the winter of 1976/77, is there anyone that thinks it might have been possible for a couple of guys to have made it up to the lake on snowmobiles?

Well Timid, Walter Cronkite was there and here's the way it was according to Walter.

This site gives various weather info by month for Yosemite back to 1905. Monthly precip totals (in inches) were:
Dec 1976 - 0.10
Jan 1977 - 2.00
Feb 1977 - 1.87
Mar 1977 - 1.85
Apr 1977 - 0.18

This implies a poor snow year, with very tough sledding.

The same folks that got up there on a snowmobile are likely the same people who crossed over to Mammoth from Clover Meadow in a Jeep. Bigfoot was there, too; saw him plain as day. Bone dry all winter at the Illilouette Creek crossing.

Hi folks,

I posted late last week in the hopes that someone might tell their tale for a radio story I'm working on. We're not the news. We're taking a purely entertainment angle. Let me know if you'd like some more information.

Best,

Julia, paranoia runs deep, into their hearts it has crept.
They don't believe in the statute of limitations, neither.

Apparently Dale Bard does.
