The new Gnomeland subdivision project. He appears happy, got his chair on the boulder & all. OMG the temp on the porch was 40 with "lots of wind chill in the wind," as the transplanted li'l bugger put it.

I took the opaque question "Have you ever?" to be more about the ability to survive lifes rollercoaster ride, things that the ups downs and hard turns get thrown ones way, while striving to do more than just breath, while breezing through this ball game called life.

on a more general but invested in the survival related list
What No surviving
dead body / Dying Body? Stopped bleeding? hit by lightning/ground strike/KnockedOut?,
a structure fire, rolled vehicle hit by a vehicle?
mugged at gunpoint, mugged by sucker punch,
MUGGED AT BRICK POINT
sandbagged by JTree azhLs, fallen from solo +25 ft?,
woke during major surgery, Not woke after major surgery. As this thread grows others will insist on a much wider range

DMT, & my ownself having lived centrally, In New Jersey, and far north, farther than Vermont, and he, farther south as well as west, laughed at the original list.

twice bitten? 7 times? Worn all white after mid-night in way uptown Harlem during the Coke wars, with only Kitchen knives for protection.
going fast in the slow lane
losing jobs for outstanding performance, showing up the bosses or the bosses golden, chosen one
all the way into one life and finding a way to disappear, for 2 years, going off-grid, but not to prison.
Having squatters & judges, whole corrupt Communities of thieves and grifters alining to remove one's freedoms.
Highering ex-Masad as 'lifesavers', retreating by a fix so ingenious that state lawyers responded by investigating the municipality



Manly? macho-ism? that is a measure so juvenile, so immature and meaningless in the larger picture that it makes me sorry to have added any response.
TWP has added, & in so doing raised the bar, but the re-emergence of H Crud points out the futility ....

Edit
Face book was not created as, but has been co-opted by the populace that we did not exterminate in WWII. We subjugated that race, and watched as they put into practice societal structures that led to the ruin of their society. They devoured their own.
Then, they recognized Zucerbergs toy, and his genetic pre-disposition to narcissistic megalomania They recognized what a tool FB was, and are currently using it to bring down our entitled society.

The state of quantum flux
Feb 5, 2019 - 03:31am PT


When the Pressure Tank Exploded
and Almost Hit the Neighbors and Power Lines
or
When Life can be Friendlier than Non Fiction

Kaboom knock
Kablooey
Flying high
and crashing down
that was where my heart landed

Knock knock
Dine and dash in an overcoat
makes more sense
than Chinese dumplings
eaten in a movie theater

Why we see it every day
we scratch our heads
and wonder why
there are always
more questions than answers

Oh oh
I forgot my cash
and credit card
walk of shame
and life is hard

Ka-blam
Kablooey
up up and away
it’s a beautiful day
see that wasn’t so bad

was it?

Do not know why nobody questioned the 35 selections above, but just responded to them like they were definitive of something.

In somewhat "knife in cheek fashion", I threw in a question about how many may have killed someone, outside of the military or car accident, and was roundly taken to task for it (not on ST, elsewhere).

I withdraw the question, your honor.

Have I ever been nuzzled by a donkey? No I think it was a horse.

FYI, I have NEVER done 'it' (whatever it is) in a VW bus
had sex while driving (but have driven while having sex)
smoked pot in church (but I've sold it in church)
won a shooting contest (but darn near won one with a knife)
taken a road trip that lasted longer than a month (it was exactly one month)
climbed more than 100 days in a calendar year (no excuses)
skied more than 100 days in a calendar year (even one day's more than I could bear)
climbed ice (FTS)
(WTF is Dornan's?)
slept at WalMart (too noisy)
killed a mammal for my dinner (he was just an old bum...easy prey but too tough)
swam in a lightning storm (in a hot tub count?)
gone swimming when there is snow on the ground (I could have but didn't)
nor have I fallen more than 100' in one fall (except that last time when I failed to live to tell of it).

A joke thread becomes a political football,
a thread meant to explore inner consciousness becomes a running joke all over the forum,
a thread meant to show appreciation turns into a venomous spitting contest,
hundreds of thousands of posts are lost because of "personnel changes" (banning or self-excusals),
and what does all this show?

Mutability.

So long Rotten Log.

Bye-bye Mirror Lake.

Where was the old Village?

Hey, where is Texas Flake?

Showers in Camp 4?

Six bucks a night?

Remember when we could just drive in and camp?

Hey, the Wine Boulder's still alright.

I guess I'm good.

Starbucks?

Guess it had to happen.

As Jerry's first call Bass Player in the greater NW for almost 20yrs, and as someone who still performs with Jerry on a weekly basis, I got to tell you. This man can still flat out rock on the guitar. His average performance is stunning.. (Loaded or not). On a good night you will blown away.. On a great night? At the end of one of his epic solos, You won't remember your own name...
It's an honor to share the stage with Jerry..

A variable weather day, I was to be a walk-in out at the VA to check in after being in hospital but there were too many vets. They scheduled me for 8 a.m. tomorrow. "Transfer of care," etc.

Had a nap and then went over to Bear Creek, two blocks thataway.

How high is the water, Mamma? Check it out.

Six/eight inches on the bike path under the G Street bridge.

It was bracing weather, and the clouds came and then some big drops and the temp went really chill and it hailed a bit and stopped.

Filled a big water bottle from the wheelbarrow, tonight.

I'm very lucky, then to it gave me pause.I did say a prayer to the Goddess, so there is religion in Alpinism.

My ability to have made it through the gate of the private community came at the behest of the ultra-right wing, all white property owner. A person who, while I have never asked, nor will I, probably considers the word 'diversity' to be akin to a four-letter word, & I'm not talking about the word 'free'.

The Gated community was originally founded as an exclusive residential island of wealthy white Anti- Semites, non-Semites (anti-semantics)Those that dislike diversity, yanawattamean?

Well give it 50 years & the place has full flipped, the homes, now all worth well over a million bucks each to the banks & owners are set up on this mountain top. All above small ponds and the main lake.

The gatehouse is now robotically controlled to avoid having to have any minimum wage employees. The bi-monthly board meetings are sought after social affairs, again by invitation only, & how I was able to get in. I was the driver. Taking advantage of the chance regardless of the polar vortex that had just passed, I headed to the summit of the small mountain. There I cut around behind the 180-foot blue painted water tower and down the other side headed for the cliffs & boulders.

I lost my footing - wet leaves over ice. At the last possible second, understanding that if I didn't self-arrest the slide the 80-foot drop off the cliff below, would end my ride. I had to turn into the icy hillside digging with my fingernails, kicking the heels of my soft hikers into the ice.

As I write this I think Yeah Hiking in the woods in the winter, That is stuff only stupid wealthy white jewish people do, what was I thinking.

HoJo gnomo a species of the Runamuccae known for its innate ability to confuse its predators with a blast of some very weird sh#t.

"Hang in there" seems appropriate.
