Not at all, though people there did know about it, I would say definitely more than people here know about world history in general. But November 7th was an official holiday, and now it is not a holiday anymore. So it would be like US evolving into a situation where 4th of July is not a holiday anymore. What I was saying is that 25 years ago, I couldn't imagine that November 7th would not be a holiday for Soviets in the future, just like it seems impossible to imagine that 4th of July will stop being an American holiday. Got it now? I don't know how many people would care if the 4th of July was no longer a holiday as long as they still got that day off sometime in the summer. Oh yeah, I forgot. As long as you have a day off, it doesn't actually matter that the country you were born in no longer exists. Good point.
just so long as the PTFTW exists.

ahh, I think the confusion came from I thought you were saying that you never thought 25 years ago that you'd live in a place where nobody ascribed any meaning to november 7th.
though I am guessing that 25 years ago you did not think you'd be living in cleveland.

no climbings this weke end; more werkz = lame.
on the plus side, heading out to RR next weke end to climb more sandstones.
probibly jtree over thanksgivingz.
I assume that both kamhed and lena are werking their respective projekts at teh gnu and red, and both complaining that it's too warm. well, kamhed has already thrown out the warmth as a pre-emptive excuse on a minimum of two internetz forums, and I'm just guessing that it'll be a bit smarmy at the solar collector.

I usually like gritty reboots, but have not been able to get into the gnu bond Flix. I wanna watch evil villains with color coded minions living in a volcano, dammit!
We watched cloud atlas the other night. Th one by the matrix directors. Was super good, complex parallel story lines, same actors showing up in them all.

Got outside for the first time since Labor Day. But seriously, dremel is one of the best off-the-couchers that I know.
On the drive down, for some reason we wound up having to explain [oldskool]m34tb0mbz[/oldskool] to our friends who were riding with us. Pulled up some old BET on the iyup, relived our old gloriez. Pretty rad.

Seems like the kind of movie I would really dig so it's nice to hear you liked it. Also, was the "yellow face" as bad as Yahoo News was making it out?
they had all the actors playing several different races and genders, including white actors playing asians and at least one asian playing a white woman and hugo weaving playing a woman and halle berry playing a man. it was all mixed up all over the place; i thought it was cool.
