Reminds me of this place:

http://www.theflumetrail.com/cabins/wildcatphoto.html

We spent a 3 day weekend there a few years back. You have to hike in, the parking lot is near the shore of Lake Tahoe which is in the distance in the first picture. About an hour to hike in - uphill all the way.

Sat on the deck watching the Leonid Meteor shower.

The day after we left the season's first big snowstorm rolled in.

Put me in charge of cyberspace!

You should try to watch this documentary tonight, BB2... if you can take all the bear killing... it's something we all need to think about.

So here's my day so far...

Headed out to work early as I always do on Fridays so I can restock my lunch stuff at work.

Nasty wreck on the freeway tied me up for nearly an hour - had to skip the store stop.

As I exist the freeway near work, my clutch goes out - can't shift gears. Drive the last two miles to the shop in second gear, having to slow to a creep to time the one stoplight I have to get through.

Didn't make the light, but I managed to get it into first gear.

Suddenly the clutch worked again - once!

After I got to the office my wife calls to tell me she forgot to put my ATM card back in my wallet.

Stuck and broke at work!

As I exist the freeway

Is that like a zen thing or something?

I was JUST going to mention that Freudian slip. Very Zen indeed.

Your wife is going to come rescue you, isn't she? I mean, it seems to me she got you into this mess, so the least she can do is help you out!

Yes, she's coming to get me.

I bless the Buddhas of the two directions that at least I travel in the opposite direction of the rush hour herds.

But then that is also my philosophy on life.

I've never in my life lowered myself to competing in circumlocution with a woman.
—Viktor Yanukovych

Women really are the other half of the sky.
—John Lennon

Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.
—John F. Kennedy

The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they are ignorant, it's just that they know so much that isn't so.
—Ronald Reagan

Some of us who have already begun to break the silence of the night have found that the calling to speak is often a vocation of agony, but we must speak. We must speak with all the humility that is appropriate to our limited vision, but we must speak.
—Martin Luther King

We're all fucked. I'm fucked. You're fucked. The whole department is fucked. It's the biggest cock-up ever. We're all completely fucked.
—not uttered by anyone in charge lately

Anyone calling Obama a leftist, liberal, or progressive needs to have the stupid beat out of them.
—Old Uncle Dave

As for the Taliban ... their stated grievance is the same as Gen. Washington’s in our war with the British: If you want this war to end, get out of our country.
—Pat Buchanan

Obama-era drone warfare ... in general looks like Bush-era drone warfare on steroids.
—Scott Horton

There has to be altruism in the universe.
—Frank Drake

The morons in Washington are pushing the envelope of nuclear war. The insane drive for American hegemony threatens life on earth. The American people, by accepting the lies and deceptions of “their” government, are facilitating this outcome.
—Paul Craig Roberts

I am a child of the South. Janet Napolitano tells me I need to be afraid of people who are labeled white supremacists but I was raised around white supremacists. I am not afraid of white supremacists. I am concerned about my own government. The Patriot Act did not come from the white supremacists, it came from the White House and Congress. Citizens United did not come from white supremacists, it came from the Supreme Court.
—Cynthia McKinney

No one has to "marry" anyone else politically; no one has to embrace every tenet or belief that an anti-imperialist ally might hold. You simply have to say: "All of us, regardless of our other views, believe this truth to be self-evident: dismantling the empire will bring immediate and enormous benefits to our nation and to the world."
—Chris Floyd

The power of the people on top depends on the obedience of the people below.
—Howard Zinn

...the government only starts listening to its voters once the more corrupt option turns out to be untenable.
—Matt Taibbi

· One out of seven American homeowners will probably lose their homes by the end of 2010.

· Only 4.7 percent of distressed homeowners who enrolled in the modification plan have gotten any help.

· Out of Obama's $75 billion program, only $2.3 million has been spent—or 0.03 percent.

Obama's performance on the foreclosure crisis—along with unemployment, the biggest problem America faces—makes Bush's laissez faire approach to Hurricane Katrina look caring and loving in comparison. If ever there were a cause for impeachment, look no further.
—Ted Rall

As self-appointed champions of civilisation against barbarism, they fail to see that a certain barbarism is the flipside of civilisation itself, inseparable from its smooth operation. For every cathedral, a pit of bones; for every artistic masterpiece, human wretchedness and back-breaking toil.
—Terry Eagleton

commenting kaos, sidebar krap, quotes

Here at home and throughout the world people are fighting back against the forces of wealth, privilege, and militarism — some because they have no choice, others because they would choose no other course but the one that leads to peace and justice.
—Michael Parenti
