No one really owns anything. We are not permanent and when we go,
nothing belongs to us any more. As to legacies, no one will remember us when,
five billion years from now, the earth is consumed by a dying sun.
I used to believe we’d someday become a star faring civilization.
Then I realized that no matter how sophisticated we believe we’ve become,
as evidenced by all the violence humanity still inflicts upon itself
after many thousands of years of trying to to curb our most base instincts,
we might not be capable of becoming civilized before in the name of
religious furtherance and greed we destroy the very environment
needed to nurture us.
these last few words
bastard he calls
to the idiot night
calming deriding
steadfastly chiding
the sliding adjusting
to wet greasy slime
on past the demons
of swamp footed grime
cool breezed updrafts
up from the valley
winter chilled pine scents
wafting their way
expletives blurted
till sleep has its way
a down sloping ledge
with no footing or quay
exhausting for some
poor for sleep or a perch
great for the munge
or a sapling of birch
hear the evening calling
the swallow and the hawk
with the fading of sunlight
the last woodpeckers knock

For the record if I disappear it was not voluntary I got nuked. RJ it certainly appears that you flat out lied about Tad asking to have his posts removed and leaveing of his own free will. This is from an email conversation that I just had with Tad Hocking.
Hi Nick, you don’t have to call him out or make a big scene of it.
If you want, your call, you can post this for me;
“I didn’t request my posts be removed , I was deactivated and my posts purged before I had a chance to reply to his last post directed at me which he has since deleted.”
If you lied about Tad how do we know that you did not lie about DMT? how can we trust anything you say? How does this not affect your credibility for whatever climbs that you have claimed to have done in whatever style they were reported as????

tradmanclimbs:
With all due respect, Tad's recollection is mistaken.
At 10:35pm on Tue, Apr 16 Mr. Hocking made a post that requested his posts be deleted. He made that post on the no Political topics thread. He requested that a few things, including his TRs and a few threads he had started and was particularly fond of, such as a van thread, be left in place. It is possible that those details may help Tad refresh his memory. Unfortunately, we don't have an easy way to accommodate that kind of precision strike request and so all his posts were deleted using our normal deletion tool as per his request (which removes all content).
Quite frankly, there was no delay in acting on Tad's request, because he had been rude and disparaging of Chris in his posts at that time and that did not leave me motivated to double-check whether he was really serious in his request to have his content removed.
While I did not make a screenshot of his post before accommodating his request to have his content scrubbed from the site, I wrote Chris a contemporaneous email immediately afterward briefing him of Tad's request for removal.
We ban people from the site regularly due to inappropriate or rude behavior. We're not shy about taking responsibility for banning people when we do. You may feel that I would be somehow motivated to make up a story to make it seem we were happy with Tad, and would do never consider deleting him for cause. But, that is not the case. I felt Tad was acting like an ass. Tad was walking on thin ice. When Tad started spreading false rumors about ST being in the middle of an acquisition, and saying things like his rude and baseless accusation he posted that afternoon, where he claimed that Chris "doesn't really give a sh#t about eh community he's created here," I took offense. That kind of bullshit certainly rises to the kind of thing that might justify a person being kicked off the island. But, that isn't what happened. Instead, I posted on that thread at around 6p making it clear how I felt about Tad's false and rude comments about Chris.
What happened is that four and a half hours later, at 10:35pm that evening, Tad made an angry post requesting the removal of his content from the site. It seems clear that his recollection leaves that important detail out. I can't explain why he would not recall it. But, I can clarify that his request was accommodated without hesitation.

Apparently, rust does indeed sometimes sleep. Asbestos? I do not know.
Section 12 of ASTM A 615-96a, "Standard Specification for Deformed and Plain Billet Steel Bars for Concrete Reinforcement," says that rust shall not be cause for rejection provided the weight, dimensions, cross-sectional area, and tensile properties of a hand-wire-brushed test specimen aren't less than the ASTM specification requires.
Section 7.4.2 of ACI 318-95, "Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete," has a similar statement indicating that reinforcement with rust shall be considered satisfactory, provided the minimum dimensions (including height of deformations) and weight of a hand-wire-brushed test specimen aren't less than applicable ASTM specification requirements

https://youtu.be/7u0UNnilXcQ
The Easter Bunny is dead
After 17 years of hiding baskets at the end of a trail
spreading eggs across the acre at dawn
Then waking the kidlets:
some times seeing to it that they were bundled up
& well booted for the task,
French Toast & pancakes scrambled eggs, maybe bacon
Then off to be welcomed as attendees in the first wave of the faithful(Now the disgraceful)
Spit-polished yawning, but there for the day-break mass
All that in the past
My children slept in.
ln quiet reflection, I took a walk alone at dawn
Not even the dog came along.
What a Dog, K9, trained but with weak senses of sight & smell
So perfect black was abused, ruined by a puppy mill
We rescued her from all that.
Still, suffering from one lasting training flaw;
The velcro-like attachment from service training
will only go out if my wife orders her to.
The whole family, having stayed up late
to take part in a rough & frank conversation
after watching the Spike Lee Joint "Black Klansman"
All Slept in.
I cried
After all I have given & given up(living here in tic infested/)
to try to add to...
to raise up good faithful believers
to be a part in making a better world
my Church is in league with an undeniable evil
Its showplace burned down
It is no small irony that at the same time as that real-world configuration,
there was an inferno in this no-place.
A place I had pointed to as representational of the other thing
that I have held out as to be at least aspiring to be of a greater good.
The fact is that,
that religion too is equally be-frett with obvious hypocrisy.
I do not see the good in religions like climbing anymore

Hey Gnome, my heart hears you. jesus is.....not religion. He is alive and there for each of us as soon as our eyes blink open each morning.
I need to explain, the sun has set here now.
An Easter like no other in my memory,
and one that coincided with Passover
A holiday that was also once of great importance
The stores here used to switch the rows of groceries.
Multi-faith services were held in local Churches & Temples
We were invited to join in the ritual meal, my children drawn out, included ...
it was a beautiful spiritual weekend that I deeply loved being a part of.
Yes, but now one must preface that what stands as the representation of the teachings
is the artifice bearing no resemblance to the true meanings of the teachings of love & humility
Of providing help & love to the needy
of always raising up
never lying with evil to achieve perceived gains/.
They gloat, they are satisfied, they see it that they are winning
not seeing or in a total disingenuous way have sold out completely in hopes of achieving a wrong-minded goal

Where There's No You (Green Room Session)

Lyrics:
I’m going to get some air
and I don’t need a train to take me there
I’m going where the water’s blue
I’m going where there’s no you
I’m walking through a canyon range
these legs can take me miles and miles
away from your sweet face
Appalachia and the Rockies too
I’m going where there’s no you
Where there’s no you
Hello to the Great Divide
Hello to Caroline
Won’t stop till the borderline
California, here I come
I’m heading to the Garden State
wanna take the whole Atlantic in my arms and float away
I am swimming where the birds sing a different tune
I’m going where there’s no you
Where there’s no you
Hello to Mammoth Cave
Hello to the Everglades
Bring on the better days
Arkansas, how do you do?
And are you lonely too?
My darling, how’d I get this far?
See I’m halfway around the world
and I’m still wondering where you are
Well I can’t see what there is to do
so I keep going where there’s no you
where there’s no you
where there’s no you
I’m getting nowhere
and that’s the truth
‘cause I keep going
where there’s no you

In the end of October 2016, 11 individuals came together for a climbing and cultural immersion experience in Joshua Tree, CA.
The event was hosted by Cliffhanger Guides at the world famous Sethspool.
For the 3 days we climbed, feasted, hung out with legends, did Yoga, got massages, and just basically had a blast!
A huge thank you to the amazing Lynn Hill and everyone who played a role in this awesome experience!

what Jim said...
twenty nineteen to do’s
weed the front flower bed
dig up and pot the cedar
demo the old workbench
pick up a load of gravel
level out the area
place cinderblock supports
mount the new workbench
mark calendar for travel
dig holes and plant new pine trees
survive with sizable bumps
plan to earn more money
plan to stay alive
continue with highs and lows
put new tires the bicycle
manage to stay upright
peddle instead of drive
never plan to finish
whatever requires completion
size up every stranger
find silence between the words
practice the kazoo
spend more time on useless talents
devote another year to saving
squander it on the birds
mow the bottom field
think about new fencing
remember how the kids played
replace the garden gate
hook up the irrigation
water the plants and flowers
don’t forget the trees
and hope it’s not too late
-all the bushman can muster
Stay tuned for next week’s poem titled;
“I didn’t mean to get stoned!”

Well, the neighborhood bully, he's just one man
His enemies say he's on the lam
They got him outnumbered about a million to one
He got no place to escape to, no place to run
He's the neighborhood bully.
The neighborhood bully he just lives to survive
He's criticized and condemned for being alive
He's not supposed to fight back, he's supposed to have thick skin
He's supposed to lay down and die when his door is kicked in
He's the neighborhood bully.
