I never noticed anyone on the cliffs across the lake from Tim's Place except this one day. Tim spotted him with binocs.

I can’t believe we missed table Mountain back in the old days Mouse. I guess we wouldn’t of known what to do with it even if we had found it. Bolted routes just didn’t exist. I just assumed all those cliffs were junk.

Table Mtn wasn't a draw until Grant H took an interest in it. Not sure when, likely the late 70s. I never bothered to walk in to the area this summer. Lack of motive, not to mention lazy.

email sent, Tad.
Jones sent me this link today telling something of the history of Table Mtn.
https://tchistory.org/TCHISTORY/Wonders_9.htm
Jones is a genuine Flame and our "Most-Favoured Lurker" and a non-Trumpian. In fact, he's probably Q-negative.
A shot of a different section of wall.
I told Jones the rounded stones on the flanks of Table Mtn. would make a fine border wall. He came back with the suggestion that we move the border since the wall is in place. Duh.

Hey, thanks a mill, Tad!
That sticky from the Center of Cali is doin' the job, alright. I've been doing some homestyle "meditatin' n medicatin'" and the full-screen spiral is just the ticket...thanks, zB.

Yeah, got my Jap-eye a-goin' and my feet kicked up and the spironolactone workin' in my body, 'long with the other scrips, and it's a pleasant 80-ish degrees here. The pups are quiet, thank gosh.
Didn't know this, but Vern tells me the guys on American Pickers are actors, not actual pickers. Hmmm......must all of our cherished ideas suffer from the revelations that there is something flawed about them?
Why can't we just learn to trust the boss? These and others of similar merit are questions for The Spirals...
Good thing it's a free download.

"All Is Relative”
More than never
Less than always
Less than a full volume set
More than a quiet rumor
Not quite an ocean
Much more than a puddle
A boulder left behind by a glacier
is no more nor less erratic
than the grains of sand on which it rests.

NICE CLIMBING SHOTS, Dingus. Courtwright, right>?
I saw Mr. Pickerwick on a crime drama recently...NCIS? So he IS an actor, though not a career one. A.P. is one show I'll default watch any time. Who doesn't like nostalgia once in a while?
