May your feet always be swift, May you have a strong foundation,When the winds of changes shift.
(metaphor alert)
I had the movie function turned on by accident. Before deleting the two - four second snippets, I decided to drag them all into Movie Maker. Act One--flying there. Act Two--what's next? Act Three--death marching up hills, passing one of thousands of rocks with Om Mani Padni Om carved into it--take a good long look at those fucking rocks; they define life. . . fade to black.

Very cool. the rock painting is cool looking.
I'm gettin' a kick out of your travel log MP..I get to enjoy the trip without all that painful pinky-toe stuff.
Sage--yeah some lamas-the shaved monks, not the furry beasts of burden, have carved Om Mani Padni Om over and over again into the sides of boulders then painted the script black and the boulders white. They're ubiquitious.
Sling, glad you're enjoying the read. I had considered Jenny Craig, but opted to shed a few pounds this way.
Still "10 fingers, 10 toes?"
Cresap Watson (UNO) always preached punctuation inside the quote. Got in trouble with a Brit attorney working as a legal secretary in NYC in the part of the last decade who believed otherwise. Hell, I don't know - as long as one is consistent.
But Olivay, seriously, as much as I know you would secretely like to sacrifice a toe to the BIG HIll - did you?
When I was working at Wild Pair back in the day I had a custoer who issued a disclaimer: "By the way, I don't have a toe." "Say what?" I replied. "I don't have a toe." "That's fine." I have a vague recollection of having sold him a sandal.
Jeff Scott is hovering near 60 now. And we're not far behind.
Please forgive typos in my last post. Should have previewed the effing thing.
Liz--typos in Emails and discussion threads may one day (if they haven't already) lead to one of the world's greatest accidental misquotes.
"Our truest life is when we are in hour dreams." Could have been Thoreau tripping on the value of the power nap.
Reported speech that ends in a question, needs a question mark inside the quotes. Cited speech where you beg a question regarding someone else's comment needs the full stop inside the quotes and your question mark outside the quotes.
Citing a question posited by another then begging a question about the cited question actually would require two question marks.
A. "Is that all there is?" asked Peggy Lee in her classic torch song.
B. Was Peggy Lee simply parodying 20's Germany cabaret life and nihilism when she asked, "Is that all there is?"?
Cresap was one of five on my orals committee, doncha know?
(Back in the day trivia--who used to say "Doncha know?"? A lot.
That piggy toe shed a lot of black skin and what remains is still kinda purply. It is my own personal science fair project. It'll still be able to kvetch all the way home.
Jeff Scott looked 60 when he was 29. I used to spend a lot of dead hours in the store wondering whether or not he went down on his fiance and vise versa. Couldn't see it. Didn't want to see it. I was 21 then, and thought those kinda thoughts a lot.
Matter'fac', I still do. I don't think Sherpas give head. Just a hunch. (They don't bathe but a couple times a month) Sherpa women aren't on the game. You can't rent a Sherpa surrogate by the hour, so I'll never know for sure.
Are you still among the sherpai? Those internet cafes really confuse a gal.
The first time I watched the flight, I was jaw-dropped. This time? It was surprisingly - well, not exactly scary but neither was it confidence inspiring.
Apparently, I'm trying to say that the whole thang takes some kinda balls. Glad you have them. And piggy toes, too. Of course.
