The finger of fate, my friends, is fickle.

A tour de force of course. One would expect no less from an ACC award-winning journalist/illustrator such as Our Tami.

In wordiness is the preservation of history, to borrow a phrase, but it's not true here. Every ancecdote and fact is a nugget unto itself.

Enjoy and profit from this, please.
I don't mind saying that scanning this was a "hard day at the office" for me. A virus in my computer won't let my normally efficient scanner copy at an effective rate and so I need to turn the computer off after every scan and begin the process again. Kinda like soloing, was what I thought. So I sat and sat and scanned and scanned and then, when done, did a link-up of sorts by having to upload these pages and then put them in the correct order here. I'd have done it quicker had I not gotten "off-route" by not scanning page 52 initially.

I'd also like to say that I've always had a hankering to visit Howe Sound and would like to thank Big Mike for laying this copy of Alpinist on me at Facelift.

Cheers to all the Stawamites of ST! Merry Christmas, as well.

hey there say, ... wow... this is really neat... wow, thanks for sharing...

starting the 'giving to share' season, early, yes, thank you very much...

:)

will MAKE time to read it, :)

ps:
oops, forget to say... THE EFFORT will be worth it for many...

i have had many a hard time, using 'lesser tools' to, for
getting jobs done-- HOWEVER:

the feel of success and 'strength of tenacity' has always
make me 'perhaps TWICE as happy' at the end, than for
others that 'reach the goal' so simply... :)

however, BOTH ways are just and good... :)

just that knowing that we overcome the challenge, give
a bit extra reward to the 'spirit' :)

it's only right then, sir mouse, that i thank you for your fortitude while pages load,
line by pixelated line, on another tab at the throttled rate ascribed to penalty box penitents such as myself,
a satellite usurper of data beyond the limit of "the plan" ...

from what i have seen at the top of several pages
it will be "worth the wait"
