| 7:11 pm | So the other day I got some pictures developed (I found three rolls of film in my room, I thought they might prove entertaining). One was from ? (between 8 and 10 years ago) and I remember having a dream set in that picture recently. I totally forgot about the picture, heck, I forgot about most of the trip. Weird how dreams can incorporate memories you forgot. |
| 11:40 am | One more, for kicks. ( Read more... ) |
| 11:37 am | Proof texts I'm not certain how useful these are. At best they're just proof texts, and impetus for all of us to study the Founding Father's real opinions, but this is all I have for now. ( Read more... ) |

| 7:13 pm | Notes for hikes These are things needed for hikes (the farther you go, the more you'll need all of it) 1. Water 2. Whistle 3. Map and compass 4. Toilet paper 5. First Aid kit 6. Bug spray 7. Rain geer 8. Cloth poncho (serves as blanket and a coat) 9. Change of clothes (cleaner clothes and warmer clothes, at least two changes of socks) 10. Sleeping bag 11. Fire starting kit 12. Iodine tablets 13. Food 14. Soap, toothbrush, toothpaste 15. Coat 16. Pocket knife Most of the above need to be packaged seperately (double-bagging is the preferred meathod, two plastic grocery bags around one item) (as you might imagine, plastic bags would really beneficial for the toilet paper). The rain gear, the poncho and the coat may, however, be placed in the same compartment. These three should be, along with the knife and the whistle, immediately accessable. Ideally, your whistle should be on you at all times (i.e. around your neck). Your pack should be packed evenly so that it is well balanced. External frames are better for tying things to, but they are a bit heavier. If you're staying in a tent, then this type of pack may be better for you, as you will be able to tie on the sleeping bag, a mat and the tent without significant difficulty. It is advisable to take several extra bags, especially if you are bringing food. The AMC generally suggests a "pack it in, pack it out" policy so that our parks may be kept clean. Don't feed the wildlife, tames squirrels are annoying squirrels, and there's nothing worse than a racoon or a bear wanting more food when you're fresh out. The best clothing does not absorb water. In the wilderness, water is both your biggest friend and worst enemy. Your clothing should reflect this. Use as little cotton as possible: jeans are just a bad idea. Right now they make running clothes which fit under these requirements, and I have nothing but good things to say about these. I also recommend a bandana, it keeps most of the sweat out of your face. Remember, sweat is water too. To avoid bugs use good bug spray. I know that deet has gotten some bad rap, but it is the best thing there is when one wants to prevent mosquito and tick bites. Apply generously over all exposed surfaces (save your face). Of course, one should also take other preventative measures. Try not to wear shorts. If you are wearing long pants, tuck your pants into your socks, and tuck your shirt into your pants. This ensures that your arms and your neck are the only exposed surfaces. It would also be advisable to spray your clothing. Unfortunately, this will not keep all of those little annoyances away, but it will prevent coming home to find a bug attached to you or 100 mosquito bites... Ok, well, that's all for now. There's a lot more, but honestly, I don't have time for writing it all down. This is, afterall, more for me anyway. |

| 9:29 am | Rocky Racoon Now somewhere in the black mountain hills of Dakota There lived a young boy named Rocky Raccoon And one day his woman ran off with another guy Hit young Rocky in the eye Rocky didn't like that He said I'm gonna get that boy So one day he walked into town Booked himself a room in the local saloon. Rocky Raccoon checked into his room Only to find Gideon's bible Rocky had come equipped with a gun To shoot off the legs of his rival His rival it seems had broken his dreams By stealing the girl of his fancy. Her name was Magil and she called herself Lil But everyone knew her as Nancy. Now she and her man who called himself Dan Were in the next room at the hoe down Rocky burst in and grinning a grin He said Danny boy this is a showdown But Daniel was hot-he drew first and shot And Rocky collapsed in the corner. Now the doctor came in stinking of gin And proceeded to lie on the table He said Rocky you met your match And Rocky said, Doc it's only a scratch And I'll be better I'll be better doc as soon as I am able. Now Rocky Raccoon he fell back in his room Only to find Gideon's bible Gideon checked out and he left it no doubt To help with good Rocky's revival. |
