[at-l] A few things at the end of a long week ...................

[spiriteagle99 at hotmail.com (Jim and/or Ginny Owen)]

First - for anyone who cares - my project Concept Review this morning 
managed to sell both local management and NASA HQ on the project.  That's 
trail-related cause now I won't be on the trail this year - or next - unless 
something drastic happens.  Should I be happy about this?

Second - a hearty welcome back to Pittsia.  We've missed you here.  Also 
missed you at the PA Ruck.  Have you heard anything from Kahley?

Third - for David O, who emailed me off-line - find an email address were we 
can actually talk cause there won't be any more of those kind of answers on 
this list.  But I'll be happy to talk to you about it off-line after I read 
the article.  Haven't gotten there yet.

Fourth - some time ago Saunterer thought some people were fighting about 
who's the smartest person on the list.  Since I'm not a candidate, I'd like 
to nominate Felix.  <G>

Seriously.

Sometimes it might be Shane - but this month, Felix is Da Man.  <G>

Fifth - something not really trail related, but interesting - and pretty:  
http://ciclops.lpl.arizona.edu/

Sixth - for Chainsaw - sorry - I didn't respond to the MIOX thing cause this 
has been "a week" - and because, having looked at it before, we didn't have 
a lot of interest in it so I don't remember the details.  How's the leg 
doing?  And how are you doing?

Seventh - for Shelly - your water management scheme is too heavy and too 
complicated for a long hike.  Next time you go hiking carry a gallon of 
water and you'll see what I mean about the "heavy" part.  I've carried as 
much as 2 gallons in the desert but I do that only out of necessity - never 
by choice.

Eighth - for Bryan - it was an interesting link, but I'm gonna make a 
personal request - that you join me in not feeding the trolls from now on, 
that you not put any more posts, information or answers of that sort on the 
list.  I'll try to send you some of the stuff I promised, but it'll be 
off-list and it'll take some time to find it.  Work and the eye problem have 
held that process up.

Ninth - for Roks - I'll take pity on you and give you one final (and I mean 
FINAL) hint - dirty snow.  Or - a rock on the ice.  OK - so I can't count.  
<G>

Tenth - for anyone who actually cares about the global warming stuff - email 
me off-liine and if there's any real interest, we'll set up an off-list 
group.  But IMO this has never been a  legitimate subject for at-l.  This is 
a hiking list and the subject has nothing whatever to do with hiking the AT 
anytime in the forseeable future.  For me, "forseeable future" generally 
means the next 30 seconds, but in this application it can be extended  to 
the Classes of '04 and '05 -- and '06. <G>

Eleventh - seems to me the Shenandoah murder suspect was cleared over a 
month ago.  Thank you, Roks, for putting it out here.  He never did fit the 
profile.

And a final (and I mean FINAL) comment -

Score -
Weary - 0
Amber - 100, 10-X

Y'all have a good weekend - I'm outta here for a while <VBG>

Walk softly,
Jim
