Gogo Gave Gogo Inflight a try (free for first-timers) and didn't recognize half the names in the seatback Us Magazine. Use Tor over in-flight wifi, people; someone like me is watching. Also, Delta let me keep the wine bottle.
Technicolor A meadow along the Pine Creek trail in the San Isabella Wilderness, heavily worked over in Photoshop. When I'm not burning time in the Denver airport, I want to do better by the trees and the creek.
All Done A week in the Collegiate Wilderness with Corey: no sleep, relentless wind, grass-knot ground, crampons over a pass, and snow that wouldn't quit. We bailed down Pine Creek and caught a ride from some kind old hunters.
Summit Feaver The plan: camp at the trailhead, then run up Huron, Missouri, Belford, Oxford, Harvard, Columbia, and Yale, weather and appetite for pain permitting. If Corey remembers his Spot Locator, whereiscurtis.com might even track it.
Canyons, Cars, Camps, Cooking and ... Squirells The rental site promised a Caliber and gave us a PT Cruiser. But the real story is this year's Grand Canyon Death March: a rim-to-rim-to-rim in 19:57, nearly four hours faster than last year. The taped toes held. I might be done with these.
D St. George, Utah, and its underwhelming sign on the hill. Did they lose interest mid-construction, run out of white rocks, or is it the grade the Health Department gave the local restaurants?
Fred: Before and After Meet Fred. He doesn't do much these days beyond serving as a warning to others, but he once roamed my office. I present Fred: before and after. I'd have swept up the hairs if I'd known, and if I owned a broom.
Protocol If you walk into a restaurant and order to-go, does protocol dictate even a small tip on the check?
Two Minutes Two minutes to thirty, in my birth time zone anyway. And in base-16, I'm still a teenager.
Here we go again Off to the Grand Canyon for Death March, Part 2. Last time was 23:41; armed with better water intel and properly taped heels, we're chasing sub-twenty. Update: 19:57, three minutes to spare. Glad I skipped the baby rattlesnake trophy.
