Yes, as Lena noted, it was a joke. While not aware of her family history, I was pretty confident she had a good idea whether Poland was in eastern or western europe.

Also, to add another response to the serious cat nest, dribble informed me that "fricking awesome" is not the best descriptor for the traumas of Eastern Europe. What I meant to say was "intense," "harrowing," or "humbling that Americans have no comparable experiences from the mid-1900s."

Diskashuns certainly make the long drive better.
And on a separate note, i survived my first ever general anesthesia. I haven't had such a good sleep in a very long time, actually.
Painkillers are awesome, too... I know it won't last, but right now it feels quite good. Still two hours to go before I am allowed more, let's hope it lasts till then.
I was told that
A) I could resume normal activities tomorrow, as long as I "am being reasonable"
B) I could be taking prescription painkillers for up to 3 weeks.
Somehow the two statements seem mutually exclusive, but what do I know?

Poland had a hard time in WWII. I would argue they got the worst treatment of any allied nation in the post-war.

You, sir, are what is rong with climbing. while that's hard to argue with, I don't know that acquisition of a stick klip really changes the extent to which I am or am not whats rong with climbing.
You might have gotten a deal on a very slightly used one from Thong. His closet must be pretty full.

No it isn't. sure it is. wrong. but perfectly logical. Wrong being the operative word here.
How 'right before' was it? Didn't almost a year pass between the two events?
I took a Soviet history class from a grizzled old guy who had been a Polish tank commander very briefly during WWII. Great class. He used to get so fired up, and he was ancient.

They still do shows? Primus is a fun band, first show I ever went to. Must have been 93 or so?
Missoula is a fun town. There is some climbing just outside of it doc, I've heard it's good. Lost horse canyon maybe? There is a climbing shop in town with the guide.

I hope I can get out of here before rush hour. wrong part of california. It's all the same to me. yes, well, you did think that mountain view was in socak. For having minored in it, I suck at geography. A certain someone that I know thought that Poland was in Western Europe, since obviously Hitler invaded it right before France, so it must have been on the way from Germany. Iz logical. No it isn't. sure it is. wrong. but perfectly logical. Wrong being the operative word here. How 'right before' was it? Didn't almost a year pass between the two events? I took a Soviet history class from a grizzled old guy who had been a Polish tank commander very briefly during WWII. Great class. He used to get so fired up, and he was ancient.
April 1940 for France and the Low Countries.
That class must have fucking rocked.

You, sir, are what is rong with climbing. while that's hard to argue with, I don't know that acquisition of a stick klip really changes the extent to which I am or am not whats rong with climbing. You might have gotten a deal on a very slightly used one from Thong. His closet must be pretty full.
his stick klip is about 3 feet long, and non-extendable. It has limited functionality. It does have a bottle opener attached, though.
