Shaggy said he was going to be dodging fires. Well, if he is hiking in Northern CA he'll get his chance. There's a big one there called the Park Fire, it started @ 3miles from my sisters house. Luckily the wind blew it away from her house.
I saw this during Men's swimming:

My guess, she's been flipping signs vertically for years. :bigyello:
Eh, it happens to the best of us.
I'm impressed by the guy doing the Lion King bit with his baby in front of her.
I mentioned earlier that my daughter was going to Greece on vacation. She left Sunday. On the flight a passenger had a stroke. My daughter and one of her friends are RN's so they helped, luckily there was also a doctor on the plan. But they had to turn the plane around and make an emergency landing in Iceland.
They finally got to Athens today. Hell of a way to start a vacation.
Dang, I'd say so.
Post Race refresh.
I tried to think of something interesting to say but came up blank. That's sad. :(
At least you didn't come up red. Because red rhymes with dead. And I'd be terrified of a dead man posting on VBForums.
I wasn't hiking in northern California, but there were forty fires burning in southern Oregon. My feet turned into bloody ruins after a few days, and rather than pounding dirt into open wounds for six hours a day, I decided to do something more constructive: Ferry hikers around the fires north of Crater Lake.
I also took a day to climb to the top of Wizard Island. I've always been curious about that island, though it is a long dormant cone. I guess I wouldn't have hiked it had it not been long dormant....
This sort of a recurring theme on your hikes. I'm sure you know the best types of footgear to use. Wonder why this is such a problem. There are professions that require walking 6hrs a day. Though probably not many on rough terrain.Quote:

Hope you enjoyed yourself anyway.
Yeah, my last three hikes all had this issue. I'm not sure what's going on. I thought my boots were a size too small last time, but this hike has dispelled that theory. One size larger, and the situation got worse.
When in doubt, I blame it on age.
I've had a lot of experience with people that get skin issues, mainly pressure sores (skin ulcers), and I've noticed that once they occur they easily reoccur. But it could be age, nothing about the body gets better with age.Quote:

I hate Boolean logic. I almost always get my operands mixed up doing && instead of || or vice-versa.
I just spent 30 minutes wasting time on that exact issue until I realized I had my operands wrong.
That's punishment for working on the weekend.
I have a contract job with a hard deadline of Monday. The requirements gathering is... well there was none. There weren't any wireframes up until last week. And the client keeps changing his mind on things. It has been an absolute nightmare.
Getting a good product definition from the customer is one of the most difficult things. I feel your pain.
Not really, I'm having a beer. lol
