My cat occasionaly killed, but as far as I know overly often, my sister's cat liked to kill a lot of small animals. I think sometimes you get a real killer, something you don't.
yeah, we had two cats that were sisters ... one was fat and lazy, the other would go outside in suburban texas and kill every night.

Too many injuries, couldn't pull w/o pain, but climbing the fake matterhorn in lederhosen brought back teh joys. Will she stalk BET?
she iz on mah fasebuk, even though I've only met her once. she got into teh roller derby, which couldn't have helped with teh injuries.

She's pretty cute, and really cool. HOpe it werks out. Steve? Stocky-looking guy who climbs pretty hard? I am glad my reputation is spreading.
Durp. Stocky and strong would be the appropriate adjective.

random question: I've got grupe bookmarked in my firefox browser. For the last few weeks, whenever I click the bookmark for it, it gives me the "file 404 not found" screen. Then I click the book mark again and I go to grupe.
Is this happening with anybody else? Google grupes are weak, but my shitty browser is, too.

Otherwise, I can still make it to the dance, just not the lesson. They just started another class on Fridays, I am psyched to check it out! The annoying thing that is more of an issue for the follower is that it doesn't really help me to learn cool moves if the guys I dance with never lead those moves. I finally got couple semi-regular dance partners to learn couple cool colgadas that they know I know, and I know they know, so they actually happen in a dance. 
I've kinda tossed most of what I learned in the first year and am back to doing really simple things well. I'll rock the funky stuff from time to time though. It has really helped to have a regular partner (not the life partner) who I get together with to practice once a week.

I've only climbed at Shelf Road once; was not super impressed, although I had a tendon injury at the time, and that was the first time that I had a rattlesnake fall on my head. Still, I would climb there in a second if it meant shirtless spurt in January; that's pretty rad. Have ewe climbed at Penitente yet? From the pics on MP, and what I've heard from Manderson, it looks awesome.

Louie has bagged a couple mice. He's really into all small rodentia really. Not sure how he'd fare against a capybara.
He isn't a good dog to leave locked in a house all day though, and probably not a good cold clime dog either. THere isn't much to him, he gets cold pretty easy.

this was actually a westie, a terribly fru fru little dog. but the terriorist in him was strong. i have to think he'd try and kill mice, too. dunno how successful he'd be.
different kinds of terriers are better at diff stuff, I guess, and some are still legit hunting/killing dogs.

ugh, so fucking jealous of having a regular practice partner. that is the biggest thing that's holding me back right now in the swingity swings. I can practice some things alone, but I can't practice partnering stuff without a partner.
also, throwing out everything you learned in the first year and going back to simple stuff is kind of the definition of having actually tasted of the fruit of the tree of good and bad dancing and trying to actually become a better dancer.

If i do, I really need the killer kind, to preemptively deal with any mouse problems. How do I find a kitten who will become a nice friendly neighborhood rodent killer? Rat Terrier!!!!11 durp durp. think i've told this story before, but my older sister has a little terrier and they had a rabbit have babies under their porch. they kept getting the dog in trouble for chasing/killing them. I was like dude.... what do you think this will accomplish? How do rat terriers do against small rodents like mice? Louie has bagged a couple mice. He's really into all small rodentia really. Not sure how he'd fare against a capybara. He isn't a good dog to leave locked in a house all day though, and probably not a good cold clime dog either. THere isn't much to him, he gets cold pretty easy. Searching around for pics of Louie bundled up in his coldweather getup, but all I could find was this.
CI tried to break out a shirt for louie in the morning in barstow ... he ran away.

Anyway, the story: there's a local Columbus guy named Andy Politz, whom I've not met, but is apparently a pretty badass Himalayan nature hiker; he's one of Viesteurs's main partners, has done Everest, etc. There's a whole crew of OSU mountaineering club helmet at the gym-type gumbies who cup the balls of the ground he walks on. He makes a living by charging them all a lot of money to go hiking with him. Anyway, I guess that recently, he was guiding a charity climb for disabled vets or something on Mt. Washington, and an avalanche hit them and almost killed a bunch of the grupe. I guess that everyone lived, but Andy and his son are injured. A guy from our gym, who is a photographer, was on the trip, too, and is injured, but not sure how bad. Ugh. http://www.concordmonitor.com/...anche-climbers-gully
I had friends on the rescue. Sounds like they were warned not to go but the guy was like fuck it let's do this! and then people died.

'But I've done EVEREST!' If you read the report from the Avi center, you'll hardcore face palm.

Louie hates his Tshirt. He managed to shed it at sugarloaf last month and it was just luck that I found it.
he also has a hooded fleece that's pretty funny. The hood falls over his eyes and he doesn't see so good.
