::pats his FireFox:: I'm telling ya, folks, you gotta get off the MSIE bandwagon and embrace the fox. : )

well, I wouldn't mind, so long as the bear went for the right body parts, so that I wouldn't feel anything. and for the record, a heart attack in my sleep is my preferred method of entering the...

wow, that'd be an awesome idea... just hope it outlasts the people in the area. :-\

I still watch Forrest time and again. I should get it for DVD soon. Rock, you should take a look at one of the other book Winston Groom wrote... ugh. the name escapes me right now.

I'd be all for it! :p

Hahaha... if I ever find a bear in Elizabeth, I'll let you know. I have a friend there. Trust me, a bear sighting in that city would be a guiness record moment... "Most unlikely place to find a bear...

I'm pretty sure they weren't scouts. I was with an Eagle Scout when I was up there and we both concluded they couldn't be scouts. Seems like a bunch of kids who thought pitching tents and burning...

might just be 'cause we have a bigger food selection? : )

I wouldn't know it,but that's an awesome shelter. it's got a fireplace??? Niiiice. : )

Sounds good -- be careful out there! :)

Hahaha... That's awesome. That bear should be caught and sent here to teach our bears how to do that. Just don't let him come to NJ... : P

NJ just draws a lot of stupid anythings, really... and I live in NJ. : P

...near the end of your trip, you reach a high point, look back, and see how far you've come, and the moments of reflection that just wash over you. That's a great feeling.

heh... you and rock make me think that joining the air force was a good idea, after all. : )

I was an EMT for 4 years... the course work on that was two days a week for about a quarter of a year. Granted, it's a bit more than a FR would ever need to know, but I'll tell ya, if you're up for a...

I'd plan to complete it in 5 months. Granted I've never completed a thru-hike, but I would figure that's plenty of time to go at a nice steady pace and enjoy what's out there. Now, the trick is,...

... you plan a 24-hour movie-thon, and the day of, you get so sick to your stomach, you spend 3 hours on the crapper?

Yes, that's right, my friend and I planned to sit down and watch all 10...

that.... that's mildly disturbing.... I'm not sure if I should thank you or smack you for scaring me. : )
