Well, how about the rest of the story?I know where I heard of LaVene--not LA Venetio, that's another story.
He was a pole-sittin' Pole named MoosePole when I knew him.
He worked for Stackpole as a transit. Lator, MusliGater.
Musligate: The Cereal Box Mystery Revealed. At a later date.
He has since lost his mind and come to his senses and still, he's dumb.
MooseDrool, pull my thumb, old BustierBooster!
Today got off to a start. I worked out some with the scanner yesterday. I got serious with some old school, no, make that stone age tech.It's Saturday, and the farmers' market crowd is going to be here soon. So is Mr. Sun. Every day is his day to shine. He gets in today at 7:15.
I went to greet him, viewing some of the building, undergoing RENOVATION, top floors first;
but the office downstairs is all done, too, of course, seeing as how they're all so special there.
This is the fifth floor on the north side, nearly completed.Some more of the floor on the main landing.

[Click to View YouTube Video]Mer-ced, too close to home.
I'm not cryin', but I am sittin' at home.
Play the hand.
What in the world?
Sittin' and starin' out of the hotel window.
Sometimes I can barely see.

Momellows. Nice roasti, MusDrool.
Cam fire boys.
Andrzej, MooseFroth, I pray hard that the gifts of the Holy Heeler from Queensland
waft up from your shoes on up to unplug your nose;
and I hope like crazy your sinus infection goes away.
Believe me, I suffer from mucous overload and they call it asthma,
but it's just plain crap.
No wonder you picked the name you did!

Are you sure you're taking all these photos? If so I guess you're quite a Truckee or Trucker. I forget which goes where.
C(arlos). C(astaneda) LaVene. Don't be venial now.
What keeps God and, for that matter people, from a separate reality?

Yes, you dumbass. I took all these vintage photos. I took them OUT OF the NG and put them HERE. I take all the credit.$2.40 seems steep, even for '57, when this all came to light.
Ah, yes, there is Bootjack! Eureka! And Crescent!

We need to bridge that gap when we come to it. I never shop at the Gap. I'm totally screwed, aren't I?Did he take the photo, or did he not?

More gratuitous climbing stuff - for all the nose-to-the-stone people
Some are saints, and some are jerks.

hey there say, mouse... sorry for not being able to share thank yous to all the neat old photos and merced stuff and climbing stuff... just stepped in really fast, to see how the flames are doing...
dial up, you know, but say, many pics are showing very nice and fast...
i just have to get off line... i did get a call from the youngest brother and today, my daddy is allowed to be awake...
felt a bit better, so i stepped in over here... for some 'photo' diversion for the ol' brain...
will peek into the rest of taco, when i 'get my barings' better... been really sad... and am 'climbing up the hill' better today...
happy supertopo eve to you all!
*odd, when i see your flame posts, with NO pics showing, i have NO clue what in the 'vast wild blue yonder' you are talking about:
once the pics show, the 'word plays' work--just goes to show, in this fast example:
when we work with kids, sharing from our 'high adult' perspective, we sure CAN use pics... and simple illustrative or action gestures, it helps
immensly... the ol' brain likes 'puzzles' when all the pieces are on the ol' table, ;))
happy puzzle fun to you all...
miss the taco, so this is a nice spot to 'alight' for a moment of 'lightness' ...
god bless to all...
hoping for more news of my daddy and 'what next' by monday...
after your 'boomer' expisode in life, i know you will understand...

Your mission is to find Half Dome. It is in here somewhere. What a cool site today. . . well, always. I've never been disappointed.

I thought dynamite was from Sweden. How noble of those Swedes.
This does have me a bit puzzled though, because I thought Sweden and Scotland were two different places.
I think it was Lembert Dome, do I get a prize.
Go Chargers
or Broncos.

zBrown, there has been "commerce" between Scotland and Sweden since Pictish times. They would stop over in the Orkneys to cut a few more trees. Lots of sliding over the ice-mined waves between those two places, not to mention the open water routes.
But that image Mouse found, ^^ ^ well, there might be some new climbing challenges out there, and maybe some new patches of ground for those of us who are content with a patch. I have never understood greed very well. It is a curious affliction. I think Alfred endowed the Peace Prize because he was aghast at the uses of his discovery. Like Einstein felt.
