Pyramid adventure

Yesterday Steph, Melissa, Jenn and I headed out to a Forest Service cabin by the Little Brooklyn Lake. We skied in, with backpacks full of gear and food. Way more food than we all needed, but since we had it, we figured, you know, mighswell eat it since it was just gonna be more weight in the packs on the trip back out today. Here's a picture of the route, which http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/ tells me was about 1.8 miles. After getting there, Melissa and I went out for another ski, up to Brooklyn Lake and then through the woods back.

This is my first real backpacking adventure (if you consider a one-day trip "real" backpacking), but I liked it a lot. After getting back earlier today and getting a quick shower, I feel more relaxed than I have in a long, long time. I had intended to get a bit of schoolwork done tonight, but instead I'm giving myself the rest of the day off, and I'm just gonna take it easy. Eeee. Zeee.

It's sort of exciting (and relatively rare) for me to find three different frames that I like. Now the hard part is narrowing it down to one. After having asked a couple of the staff at the eye doctor's, my roommate, and Stephanie, an early leader is emerging. But I'm open to other feedback..... Option 1 Option 2 Option 3 Comments?

citizens arrest

What are the rules for citizens arrest? Specifically, if there's a girl talking on her cell phone, with half her car windows frosted over, who doesn't wait her turn at the four-way, would I get in trouble if I pulled her out of her car and slapped her with her phone a couple of times? I suppose that doesn't quite count as citizens arrest. Vigilante justice, maybe. Whack, whack! In less aggravating news, tomorrow is the last day of classes for the semester. Finally. It's been a long time comin' this fall. I really should start thinking about the trip to WV and AZ and start planning some Christmas gifty-gifts.

So I'm now going to post a bit about the DEMOLITION DERBY, which actually happened the weekend before my trip out here to CA. Backing up even further: in the few days leading up to the DEMOLITION DERBY, it rained pretty heavily, even producing a bit of flooding. This was bad news for the derby: the cars had a tough, tough time getting much traction in 10 inches of mud. The result: a not very demolishing derby. Slo-mo derby. Cars that were disqualified not because they were intentionally trying to stay out of the action but because they were axle-deep in mud and couldn't make a hit. Lame-oh: nowhere near the fun of DEMOLITION DERBY 2005. I had promised several people that DERBY '07 would be barrels of fun. Instead, we left early. Here's a pic that Kaijsa took of the contestants, though: Annalee said she didn't make it to the derby because of the big rains in the days leading up to the derby. The current of run-off was strong enough, as she was driving home, to rip of
