Yeah, there is tons of climbing around it. I'm considering it for future schooling. PG goes up there for her herbalism course once a month, but I haven't spent any time there.
the bozone has better ice climbing, however.

[tawkin bout mah generation]
Primus was one of the first shows I saw too, 94 or 95. Saw them at this venue called Saltair, that's an old refurbished 1910s amusement park on the Salt Lake. Incubus and this solo guitar shredder named Buckethead opened for them. Fun times.

Makes sense! I didn't actually feel "high"-- remember, I am still not sure what the high thing is all about? -- It was more like I woke up from the general anesthesia feeling really rested, and sort-of sleepy and relaxed in a good way.
The only annoying thing was the monitor. Apparently if your heart rate goes below 45, it starts beeping and everyone starts running.
They kept getting confused, because they were like: your oxygen is at 100%, and your color looks good, and blood pressure is fine, you are not in distress, so why the heck is your heart rate so low?
Eventually a doctor came running in, looked at me, looked at my chart, and said: Oh, you are an athlete of some kind, are you? Looks like your resting heart rate is really low in general, and with you lying down and not moving it goes down even more. Well, just keep wiggling your feet and moving around some, so the heart rate goes just a little bit up, and the monitor shuts up.

It sounds like the kind of stick clip I need to hang my jacket on the hook at work. I don't know who put that hook at 7 feet high.
Other than that, maybe I could use that 3ft stick clip as a draw extender midclimb?

More of a klowncation... but you should be used to that sort of thing by now, the Bozone definitely has more mountain yuppies than Missoula.

That's pretty funny. Out of curiosity I just tried to figure out what my resting heart rate was (sitting at my desk). Hard time counting my pulse, but I'm pretty sure it's nicely below 60bpm.....which is a little surprising, but I have been doing running on my lunch breaks here at work.
I do have a hard time calling myself an athlete though. Athletic? Sure, but athlete seems to imply something more serious.

Gneiss! I never saw the Melvins, but they're awesome.
I was kicking some 90s Alt punk last night at the gym (Pixies, Breeders, Butthole Surfers, Melvins), and this one hipster kid was way into it, knew all the bands, record labels, that kind of stuff. I asked him how old he was, and he said "25." I totally pulled the, "I LIVED this music, man!" card.

The only annoying thing was the monitor. Apparently if your heart rate goes below 45, it starts beeping and everyone starts running.

Eventually a doctor came running in, looked at me, looked at my chart, and said: Oh, you are an athlete of some kind, are you? Looks like your resting heart rate is really low in general, and with you lying down and not moving it goes down even more. Well, just keep wiggling your feet and moving around some, so the heart rate goes just a little bit up, and the monitor shuts up. That's pretty funny. Out of curiosity I just tried to figure out what my resting heart rate was (sitting at my desk). Hard time counting my pulse, but I'm pretty sure it's nicely below 60bpm.....which is a little surprising, but I have been doing running on my lunch breaks here at work. I do have a hard time calling myself an athlete though. Athletic? Sure, but athlete seems to imply something more serious.
I agree, athlete implies something more serious to me, too. But I wasn't going to go into a semantics debate with a doctor in the post-surgery room. I am sure it would have elevated my pulse rate a bit though. I do love myself some lovely arguments.

That is all good stuff. Love teh pixies. Never really got on board with the butthole surfers though.

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. Lena? I couldn't let this stand, even as a joke. No, not Lena. Lena's grandmother happens to be from Poland, so the knowledge of Poland invasion was actually rather personal. If you look at this map here: http://en.wikipedia.org/...bbentrop-Molotov.svg See the little region highlighted on the left, called "Vilnus Region", the part that was supposed to be occupied by Germans, but ended up in Soviet hands? There was a town called Vilna there, first the Germans came in, then the Russians kicked them out. If not for this little twist of history, jewish grandmother probably would not have survived, and Lena might not have been born. in all seriouscatness, I am a more educated person in world history and geography because we are friends. Kamhat is second fiddle? Dribble is more educated on non-science stuff from listening to me and Lena discuss teh historiez on road trips. Fixied. camhat got to me first, trying to learn me some american historiez.

As a guy who has always been pretty average in terms of athletics and athletic talent, and who hangs around with a bunch of fairly fit rock climbers I also never really thought of myself as an athlete. As I get older that changes though. I mean, take a look around.
I was telling a coworker about the MoleStar yesterday, and how I've gotten so soft on camping and never tent it. He laffed his ass off. You! Soft! He said. I think we are just out of touch with what really goes on.

Yeah, Butthole Surfers, like Sonic Youth, are one of those rare bands whose "commercialized sellout" material is the most listenable. Who Was in My Room Last Night is a fricking classic.
