Kleinwalsertal
Valley in Austria
Kleinwalsertal is a part of Austria, but only accessible from Germany to the north, and thus is an Austrian "practical exclave" or "pene-exclave".* Prior to Austria joining the European Union, the area had tax-free status. Wikipedia
There is no "best" climbing film. There are no "best" people. This DARWINISM has gone far enough! We settled that in beating the Reich.
That's how I feel and I'm stickin' to it. They had some good climbers, though maybe not the "best."

* pene-exclave (plural pene-exclaves)
An area that is for practical purposes an exclave, but does not meet the strict definition: an area that is not completely separated from the main part, but can only in practice be reached by passing through another area. For instance, a region of a country that is not connected by road to the main part of the country without passing through another country.
Synonyms
proruption
See also enclave and exclave.

I REALLY MISS THE ENGINEERING AND DESIGN SEMINARS ON THE S.T. FORUM.
So I'm doing something about it.

2016 is the year the Gotthard Base Tunnel is to be completed.
With a route length of 57 km (35.4 mi) and a total of 151.84 km (94.3 mi) of tunnels, shafts and passages, it is the world's longest rail tunnel, surpassing the Seikan Tunnel in Japan.

up early, eh
We had the spider alert today.
Maybe a late in life revelation, don't wait too long.
I had my eye on a very nice 1953 GMC in good condition, but needed work. Went past it frequently, then one day it disappeared.
Like this one, but it was in better shape.

At the stucco-fucco mansion on 21st St., the longlegs population would go through the roof for a bit and then I'd come along with a hose and nozzle.
It didn't require a power washer, but it would have been lots faster.
With all the German filming going on here lately, I looked up good old Detlef Schrempf from Seattle, a two-time All-Pac 10 Team member back in the early eighties. He had to play against the giants like Johnson and Bird. He's held up well, don't you think? Better than that '53 p/u.

I remember Detlef. He's a bit younger (born 1963) than us. He started that group Deflef Leopard, in which he went nowhere and decided to do charity work through his foundation instead.
A good foundation is important whether you're R. Messner or Shrimpy.
I was gonna say that with the name his parents gave him he wouldn't need a nickname, but someone hung The Grand Teuton on him.

From the site, this fellow demonstrates proper bib number placement, but should not allow the guy behind him to draft.

Well, I guess maybe it's time to schedule that cataract surgery.
In my defense, when I'm running around with Michele, I have heard the greeting "how you guys doing" more than once.
That tunnel is something else. Remember when the guys got busted for riding through the Bart tunnel on their bicycles before it opened?
I gotta renew my passport along with that eye surgery.

Now you're stuck in neutral.
"No, I don't know, Officers. It's illegal to be in here? Really? Yer kidding, right?"
I knew a woman who qualified as an electrical maintenance person with BART. Her name was Cathy, Bruce Hamilton's spouse. She was what I've always called "boyish-looking." Short hair, stick figure, no contours.
I see plenty of contour in your kitchen, there. Give my best to Chele.
See you manana.

zBrown, it may not be how early one gets up but merely a function of one staying up very, very late.
But it's all POV, like which end of a transit tunnel is the entrance.
But then, that's only if there is a single tunnel, too, unlike the Caldecott or the Gotthard Base.
You be the judge.
Here come the judge!

Yeh, so I'm on the edge of my seat and scared as hell!
That's not water flowing down the diabolical diabase, it's the tears of Cruella de Ville, who's just been whupped big time by the Mistress of the Flames, Emmylou Harris.
No more will she strike fear into the hearts of puppies, Dalmatian, Alsatian or Standard Pondle.
Dogs, bears, cats and cougars, comin' at me with German Lugers: This is what little mice are afraid of.
But this is what little mice are made of: Cinnamon bears too big to cuddle; trout mask replica in a mud puddle; rhymes and reasons out the door about why Flames are too hot to fondle.
Smokey sez: Only you can prevent forest gnomes from going up in Flames.

Been going through many boxes of paper today, feels like I was slogging through the big muddy. I'd rather be riding through an Alpsian [new word] tunnel.

I only know the three standing up. The others could be deport- or detain- ees. Perhaps the gnome may be one of them.

The opening was as good but this was fun, [Click to View YouTube Video]then they played,[Click to View YouTube Video] to end the first set.
I also saw some of the simulcast on the 4th and was lucky to dance with my brothers and sisters at an outdoor small park. it was a slice of the old days. The ways and smells and trades. brought it all back.[Click to View YouTube Video]
but can you ever go back? be a virgin again?
to not be jaded, would be to deny how great '76 - '91 were.
Not to mention that I was naked in beads, in the clutches of an aunt from Lycoming college, in like 1970.
