Some people can develop a posterior capsular opacification (PCO, also called an after-cataract). The posterior capsular cells undergo hyperplasia and cellular migration, showing up as a thickening and clouding of the posterior lens capsule (which is left behind when the cataract was removed, for placement of the IOL). This may compromise visual acuity and the ophthalmologist uses a Yag laser to safely and painlessly make small holes in the posterior lens capsule. It is an outpatient procedure.

The words of the dying guide in the thrill-packed story of the ascent of Drooling Pink Monkey on the Monkeys Thing,
based on the actual event,
and told in the new novel by Rose Crystal,
called Monkey Woman:

The Smell of Newly Fallen Rain
Today I walk the earth at dawn
As the petrichor scent explodes in my nose
As if it's the the first day that I've lived
As though I have my first nose
I feel at one with my dogs
I am a dog
Smelling every living breathing dying dry and moist and oily f*#king blossoming defecating pungent stony liquid perspiring muddy hairy crusty splashing ruddy swimming croaking chirping feathered creeping crawling slimy whispering budding thing
I have become my nose
And see or hear the world as through it
Snuffling my way down life's path
And stopping to communicate
With every earthly entity
I happen upon along my way

I am haunted and manic today, NO APOLGGYOr appogeez. I say monkey face ,You say monkey face? I say monkey too , two one facing you, eyes might be needing an eye to seeing faces , but the clear bottom left edge of the snap looks like a chip lower lip extended a bit. & a (Looki'n right in profile, a Gorilla with the gapping crooked mouth nearly a handle bar of granite with a nob as the lower lip, Silverback) face also On the left edge . . . . i say But this picture is still under review,
this is where I got the imp I strained Bushmans "
Bold lead to try to point out missed opportunity to absorb greatness, by intelligent conversation about the importance of Mrs Obamas' speech, it fell as ever to a, " do more politics too"

You may doubt I know my stone or no but this place makes me giddy!
I've thought hard not a moment of which was spent actually sharing this
Some things need at last to be
I have been amazingly lucky in the perma ace and so
of the influence of the highest quality stone. Gunks stoneharder ,horizontal laid Quartzite
And PVG, did you know we travelers tourist interlopers called it that !
Was it some thing I picked up from Richard H ,in the desert? P.V.G was the standard all rock is judged by.
The very hart of the hart route is from 1 - 4, in a sub set, of most widely universally
Instantly as an image even grabbing.
Then just the actual grain, the matrix of that grey bone of Mother Earth. The heat it absorbed and radiates, life affirming reminded in an instant that greener pastures never were, as they were when, others cowed, you would clench jawed, blast into the next belay.
The only thing to do was compare all stone to PEFECT VALLEY GRANITE.
fools to August heat like January storm are treated to vast terrifying delights.
The first snow is Geourges but 17th is a whore, striking but vicious random callous .

O I've lost a snap from my library of snaps that I have stored in only two places here and in the thousands on a drive?! I can't find the Deer Haven Ridge line!
Like clock work I loose my shjt without
Ho no not the incoherent ranting - not that !
I am sorry to have felt the need to say anything
I'll make no friends or Camming units by posting this
That is a nice attempt to show contrition.
The truth of the paid to play - paid into - and OVER paid for , programs that
Have propped up Phoney people has resulted in the wide gulf that exists between
Very seasoned climbers and the Ten years at it crew.
I am sorry but the true history of the creation of the American guide industries was a sham
Without telling tales, slandering the very good along with the criminal is not possible.
So I won't try to be more specific.
The skills and objectives were high minded and correctly aimed at one point.
I actually have some options as to where and when things went off the rails.
( Opinion , that cannot be supported, without a full discourse, ) but
The guides went about ruining climbing for years. So as to justify their own existence.
The creative structure to deprive the climbing community of the best guides in the field
continues.
There is no way for me to come off sounding good and I'm easily dismissed or attacked.
That I'm even posting any of this opens me up to ridicule but I feel passionately enough &
Conflicted about the subject to stand up a point out the total BS.
The complexities of the standardization of practices, & then the dumbing down of and
Segregation of qualified but unable to rise to the economics
Relegating some very good people to be unable to to participate was/is a big problem.
It is complicated, Wanting to earn a living is of course a reasonable desire.
.? As I said it cuts both ways but good climbing is closed to everyone due to the structures and limits of legal issues of land use.
As I said I am conflicted and have no answers
The times have past for me which gives me the short pedestal to yell from
Your fabled founders and the awesome early participants struggled with the way, the direction to take the industry.
The creation of the circumstance is no ones fault.
Economics demand the way it is.
I just feel that the way things in American guiding have unfolded from The roots of the old boy network to The over charging of perspective participants in programs that only
Place obsticals in the way of competent folks, is an unescapeable part of the history.
The guide services have been the cause of regulation and a loss of the freedom of the Hils

Well like so many things I don't know, Stevie Wonder being one, I do know someone who knows Stevie. As far as I know, Stevie still owes him money.
Wally Gish.
He told me Stevie couldn't play frisbee as well as he could the piano and was just about as prudent with his money as Barbra Stereisand. Wally isn't the one who knows Stevie, that's another person. Ya know whatr I mean?
I won't break that name down for ya, but it would start with bar and bra.

As HUGO KALMAR, one-time editor of Anarchist periodicals, upon whom Tiny Montgomery is clearly modeled said:
"Don't be a fool! Loan me a dollar!"
HUGO--(raises his head and peers at Rocky blearily through his thick spectacles--in a guttural declamatory tone) Capitalist swine! Bourgeois stool pigeons! Have the slaves no right to sleep even? (Then he grins at Rocky and his manner changes to a giggling, wheedling playfulness, as though he were talking to a child.) Hello, leedle Rocky! Leedle monkey-face! Vere is your leedle slave girls? (with an abrupt change to a bullying tone) Don't be a fool! Loan me a dollar! Damned bourgeois Wop! The great Malatesta is my good friend! Buy me a trink! (He seems to run down, and is overcome by drowsiness. His head sinks to the table again and he is at once fast asleep.)

I don't know her personally (wish I did), but that looks suspiciously like Honolulu Lulu on the dashboard of that car.
The gal upon which the shirt brand name was based
she taught herself to surf!
by climbing on a surfer's board as he was coasting in one day when she was only a few months old... boy, was he surprised.. :)
this image was taken when she was about 4 .. as i recall there was a surfer nearby who gave her surfboard one last shove.
(its the only photograph i know of, alas, of lulu surfing

The Ridge The Blue Gus Chimney the thing I do to try to keep track of what snap is what picture?
is to have a few of the old odd ones written down.
When one I've got writ down goes away It only creeps me out,
makes me go hhmmm, ???
( paranoia strikes deep, into your heart it will creep )the top shot's number? it is 463346
I like this most new one some (actually, the only things I can still climb, pictured here) and all fours with a second place lucky seven.
Tells you of my luck , I'm a very lucky person,
Should I add a duck?
Which one ?
I'm a terrible person at big new menu restaurant;
can't decide what to choose
No shoes no shirt no p_-_s , no service, so infantile,
it made me smile, oh double hokey hockey stick
another 'P' word struck, scratched to run another day
Looks like hart-ache is the winner again today.

Middle one seems to be missing.
the other one is here. Was this guy on the jury.
http://www.supertopo.com/photos/26/31/384620_17349_L.jpg
Oh, stop that cursed jury
Cried the attendant and the nurse
The trial was bad enough
But this is ten times worse
Just then a bolt of lightning
Struck the courthouse out of shape
And while everybody knelt to pray
The drifter did escape
Mothers of Invention against Drunk Driving
What started as an annual Los Angeles-to-San Diego biker run turned into an unthinkable tragedy Saturday as a pickup swerved over a San Diego-Coronado Bridge retaining wall and plunged 60 or more feet onto vendors’ sales booths during a festival in Chicano Park.
Four people were killed almost instantly and nine others were injured, authorities said. Two of the injured victims suffered major trauma.The driver, who was later arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence, was in shock within seconds of the crash and asked witnesses who rushed to his aid to please contact his commander at a nearby military base.
