  1. Seems like I remember somebody telling me you can't really go more than about 20 miles per day on horseback without killing your horse. (Horse people correct me if I'm wrong). So 850 miles at lets be generous and say 25 miles per day = 34 days of travel. Add in extra days getting over the Cascades, foraging, whatever. 25 miles a day, for 34 days straight, even on horseback for most of it, will ruin a person.
  2. New Orleans is a comfortable metropolis which has a certain apathy and stagnation which I find inoffensive. -I.J. Riley
  3. Yes, I hiked the Washington portion of the PCT north to south. Ended in Cascade Locks.
  4. many years ago I took a supershuttle from cascade locks oregon to the portland airport. This is a perfect description of that journey. But it was only like 15 dollars for the ride. I don't remember the pitmaster thing. Cliff notes?
  5. Assuming there is no surprise, truly no weapons (can't pick up rocks, etc), I'm going with the gorilla. But in the "real" world, the gorilla would retreat faced with those numbers and humans would claim victory. If its some sort of make believe fight to the death, then gorilla.
  6. Not sure it was all vehicles. If it applies to the slate, then it will have one. When it says "no screen" they aren't referring to the little camera screen. And it definitively isn't a touch screen, which has got to be the most regarded, unsafe thing you can put in a car.
  7. Other than that whole threatening note taped to your office door with a picture of you walking your dog taken from a drone thing. Or the magats breaking into your house with hammer thing. Or...
  8. Member the meltdown on this board (or the scat board, whichever it was), when Austin voted NO to Uber? I member.
  9. The stupid, it burns. and the only war he's fought, and lost, is the war against fat.
  10. If billionaires gave two shits about democracy, they wouldn't be billionaires.
  11. Definitely try the polar plunge, at least once. Just have towels and warm clothes ready as soon as you get out. But stay in that "warm" feeling water for any length of time, you quickly realize, yeah, its still pretty fricking cold.
  12. Probably both. Oh well, leopards gotta eat too.
  13. Its a song as old as time this country. Outgroups stop being outgroups by becoming "white". Happened to the Irish, then the Italians, now its happening to Hispanics/Mexicans. Unfortunately right now, being "white" means voting R. Not sure what the blacks are going to do.
  14. These morons are going to keep on voting R. They'll just do it in a huff because they are pissed at doTARd.
  15. Maybe he can hang it in his cell in his El Salvadoran prison?
  16. I used to lifeguard at BSP. I'd have to open up a few times at 5 am, even in the winter. If I was 5 minutes late, there would be a line at the entrance of pissed off olds. If I was 15 minutes late, the olds would start climbing the fence. The thought of one of them falling a breaking a hip because I was late was pretty good motivation to get there on time. Anyway, I did a lot of polar plunges during the winter at 5:05 am. Nothing wakes you up and kills that hangover better. When its really cold outside, the water is warmer than the air, and you don't feel the cold until you get out of the water. But yes, I miss BSP more than anything else about not living in Austin any longer. Except perhaps Hamilton's Pool.
  17. The "chief adult" wore a blue suit, chewed gum, looked at his phone, and fell asleep during Francis' funeral.
  18. i say we ship his ass to El Salvador
  19. perfect avatar- post alignment
  20. In post apocalypse, cordyceps change you.
  21. Yeah, same same for me. Bald, white, oldish, live in rural Texas, drive a pick up, wear cowboy boots fairly often, talk with a Texan drawl. Cowboy hat if out in the sun for extended periods of time (which is fairly frequently because of my job). I generally keep my politics to myself (irl at least), unless the other guy brings it up first. I'm old school in the sense that you don't talk politics or religion except to close friends/family. That's getting harder and harder to live by as shit keeps getting worse and worse. Cuts both ways, both conservatives and liberals mistake me for a conservative. Sometimes its funny, sometimes its annoying. Most times, whatever.
