Playing oboe in a symphony orchestra and surfing...complementary pursuits?
Or wearing a wet-suit while playing oboe in a symphony orchestra...too punk?

It could be Blind Topic, the new game introduced by Gnome today.
Pretty cute idea.
This should take a few minutes of your time. I found several grains of truth in this supplement to an article in a publicaton by an organization of agronomists.
History of Dryland Wheat Farming/Inland Pacific NW, WITH IMAGES!!
http://www.agronomy.org/publications/aj/articles/100/Supplement_3/S-166
Skip to the Conclusion for the nutshell.
Merced went through some of the changes that the NW farmers experienced, except here the farmers relied on mules for the most part, not on horses.Here's to Sal.[Click to View YouTube Video]

Petra's cool.
So's Choss Creek, Idontno.
Maybe I know more than you might think that I know, but I don't, I'm pretty certain.
Never been to Petra, but I've been to Soledad.
It happens to be near Pinnacles but not like RIGHT THERE!
I've been BY San Quentin but didn't bother to stop...not much of a view and I didn't know anyone there.
Albert A. Bennett (1825-1890)
Albert A. Bennett was born in Schoharie, New York, on July 26, 1825. At sixteen he apprenticed as a carpenter and joiner under his brother William in Stamford, Connecticut. After working in the trades for two years, he returned home to study architecture under his brother-in-law, Orson Phelps. In 1846 Bennett moved to Montgomery, Alabama, where he was involved in building the Alabama State Capitol.
He came to San Francisco in 1849 to practice architecture and building. Within a year he relocated to Sacramento.
From 1850 to 1876 Bennett resided in Sacramento, where he built the Odd Fellows's Temple, the Golden Eagle Hotel, and the Arcade County Hospital. He served as State Architect from 1876 to 1883, working on the State Capitol Building and prison projects at San Quentin and Folsom.
Returning to private practive in San Francisco in 1883, Bennett and his partner, John M. Curtis, prepared plans for courthouses in Santa Rosa and Eureka.
Bennett designed many other early California buildings, including the Mechanic's Art College at Berkeley and courthouses in Yolo, Stanislaus, Merced, Tulare, Kern and Fresno counties. Bennett's Fresno County Courthouse (1874), albeit much expanded and altered over the ensuring century, remained in use until 1966, when it was torn down despite vigorous public outcry. His Merced County Courthouse stands to this day in the city of Merced, and is open to the general public as a regional history museum.
While en route to Europe in 1890, Bennett became ill in New York and retreated to the Catskill Mountains to recuperate. After his health improved, Bennett started to return to California but died in Philadelphia in December 1890. Written by John Edward Powell

In the mythical town of Dirt, off the beaten track, is a restaurant called DirtBagger's.
Their menu is mostly solid food.
I stopped, but you know these out-of-the-way food joints...
I had these from the a la wheelbarrow menu.
main course - xeric hyplocalsquid - rubber chicken
soup course - gaspacho petroargid - needed less salt, more water
salad course - typic aquisalad - not very fresh, wilted, in fact
lots of crackers - Waverlys, Wheat Thins, and pinon nuts
dessert course - duripan flambe - made with substitute laterite
I had to buy bottled water, no biggie, but it was tepid.
The place had a "vibe" all its own, though; and I found donini's name was etched into the men's room mirror.
I got back in the Vee and got the hell out of Dirt.
The so-called "lonliest road," Hwy. 50.

If it makes both Leary and Burroughs smile, I'm on board (aren't all surfers in some fashion on board though?). However, my internet utilization has come under scrutiny lately. Is there an abridged version of the rules of the game?
Either Hunter Thompson or Robert Hunter, it's all the same to me, but nothing happens when I click.

An observant viewer will notice that Linda did not turn her back on the audience. She did get a little sideways. Everybody knows that Tennessee is different from California, no? Ain't no place I'd rather be.

The thing that seemed important to say escapes when I check in first,
A picture credited to ?? Babyramdass?. Never looked but never saw that before!
That is neither Thompson or Hunter but that Hunter is not the other three are dead,
Back to add have you seen what is left of the girl named heights posts on the
Obscure rock in Nevada thread it was sweet pathos till she hit the delete key.
It included peek a bo butt shot in black tie on lace,
among other straight pics of the kid and herself, always in shilloette ,
she showed some climbing knowledge or at least some JTree pics,
When some one said to put a taco on the panty shot
she lost it, as she misunderstood what was being said.
that is what caught her she thought that a Taco was the female body part,
I was and still am laughing.....
IT is not that sweet a spot..
. I must not get started, but I just can't . . .
Stop . . . . . .it smells like twa.....taco. . . . . bad pork taco,
NO FISH!
Still never had a fish taco?. . . .'(100%4 letter) Khuntt remember!
ALL STOP
My apologies that is not okay is it fun or funny should it go away?, I hate to delete. But that
puberty thing is coming on strange
What is strange is second was dropped from the first time that second puberty thing is. . . .

iMany of us have climbed by ourselves for years ,decades,
(TOP ROPE SOLO,'closed loop' ,Pulley to clamp,second cord backup)
No Fatal Phukups that I can thinkof ever hearing about.
Then in just a few short years really top flight long toothed climbers getting' the chop?
so sad to hear it and I wish I had said this Last week, Last month, In 2011!!
The ability to climb by one self does not indicate that one should climb by oneself!
There was just a st00pid thread that was scary in a way that,
No One said Boo about how Unforgiving a screw up,
alone , solo, by one's self, third class,
any others, oh yeah,
'Stupid Unroped, Dead Humane tricks, SUDHT,
or the sound of your body landing in the talus, raptor food.
IS.
(Where Was I going with this? I better check it. Check in, and have another Stelazine, any of the 'zines) ,
oh that was it,
' have to rant about what was written in the Climbing Magazine Climbing,
It said out right ( I siht you not) that Bob "Cats' the guy with the gym in Boulder, was the first to drill pockets in wood to make a hang board!!
Please,
Well before the 1890s, 'Health&Fitness' trend that brought us the first athletics for health,
there was Fell walking and Climbing.
Indoors, that was then exampled by the infamous Peg Board.
The first time that Stan beat Larry with th the pegs in the gym was the day
that Brian, Peter and Jimmy stuck two fingers in the holes and pulled up!!
Candaleria my azz!
I choked on a lasty when i read that!
not that I am gonna do anything to challenge the stencher statement,

Hunter S. Thompson chose the Thompson for hunting buffalo.
He got more bull for the buck.
He never killed cows, just bulls.
He was a dear hunter at heart.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thompson_submachine_gun
.45s pack a wallop...known as man-stoppers, the cartridge was developed for the pistol used in fighting the Moros in the Philippines, from what I've been told.
The Moros would charge the US troops and THEY KEPT ON COMING after they'd been plugged several times by bullets from smaller caliber handguns. And so the Army handed out the .45s and the cartridge was plentiful, so why not make a faster delivery system?
On Saturday nights you can't find a deal on .45s, but you can find specials on compact smaller-caliber weapons.
I want you to know that this is the closest I've come to the Gun Debate Sandbox, or any other general discussion of firearms. I'm a peace guy, not a piece guy, but almost all, or a great majority of, American males have been indoctrinated in gun lore simply by being Americans.
There's a line one needs to draw in this case.
Personal use or not?
Gun ownership or not?
I have nothing to do with them, unlike my two brothers.
I'm too Berkeley, huh? Never, when it comes to human life.
I'm one of those sheep who will be slaughtered when the Chinese come for us.
I really like war movies, westerns, gangster films, and even got hooked into watching ESPN's Starshot several times.
And just last night I watched an excellent shoot-out in Kevin Costner's Open Range, with our old pard from To Kill a Mockingbird, Robert Duvall.
If happiness is a warm gun, and if happiness runs in a circular motion as Donovan insists, then who wouldn't be happy owning a Tommy Gun, a French Sweeper, a French Broom, a Chicago Typewrtiter, a Chicago Piano, a Chicago Style, a Chopper, just like George Francis Kelly?
I mean one of the old models with the classic cylindrical magazine, or drum. All I ever got was one of these seven-dollar Saturday Morning Specials, so I guess I was never TRULY HAPPY.
Of course, nineteen out of twenty will take an AK over a Tommy. But will they be happy? Seriously happy?

To me it would be like marrying a brunette after years of lusting after the idea of blondes being more sexy.
Or settling for a fish taco instead of the real thing.
Gnome, I always get around to the topic, sooner or later.
Don't delete a f*#king thing, bud.
What's in your ammo box?
And Is it half-full or is it half-empty?

Following the Carnage of man iz becoming routine It is easier than trying to grasp my feelings as toward Ram Dass, - [Click to View YouTube Video] -
The best of the most wasted and wasted time That I have spent Repeatedly I wonder who
Pete is (well not) but i digress,
I would wake up in parking lots, Lots of times I states Of distress,
from dehydration etc., to much of this or that,
and if it was at 'Shows' then the girls and boyz from Seva might and would help,
If it was in the dust, of the dirty road, then often there was no one to give counsel,
just the stars and my own breath, the memories of climbing, and soreness.
I know a little about the hokum too though so
HHmm Ram Dass In the Pure, Or the tortured truth of Parking lot death?
[Click to View YouTube Video] Nothing makes up for pollution, but these are Gems, Jewels that should be Polished Now, look over them and see for thine own self some of it drools but most rules, our tribe...
can we schedule in a stroke, or going broke?
well then it would be no fun,
Mr Spock died in? ventura? Vain? Spain?
no thats Sharma,
back on the iippE with one less Eye, you know i want to say
some thing bumb son ...
