Steve, I have to wonder, every time I see the young folks climbing them, if it doesn't miss the point a bit. In Dallas, there isn't much point to miss (ha- a joke!)-- which is probably why there are so many indoor gyms. We do have some large fire ant mounds that could possibly provide a challenge. I think for learning the basic skills and developing strength and technique, the indoor gyms are fine. But surely the true experience would have to be so different-just like learning to scuba in a pool is meaningless after your first ocean dive. I would think the enormity of what you were doing--taking on a mountain--would be thrilling. And you need that added element of danger to make it really fun. As a teen, I had a great boyfriend-instead of movies and parties, his idea of a fun date was spelunking, rappelling, white water tubing, hiking in the mountains, snowshowing...I always wondered why my mother let me risk my life like that-now, as the mother of teens, I understand. She was grateful we were working off all the hormones that way rather than at the drive-in. It must have seemed the lesser of two evils. You made a curious statement. It's a standing joke at our house that my husband has no sense of smell, while I can tell when he walks in the door where he's been and what kind of day he's had, whether he smoked his pipe, what he had for lunch. I can tell which boys and what friends have been in the house. My nose is unbelievably sensitive while his sensors are atrophied, I swear. Now here you are saying yours are deficient. DO you think that's a male-female thing? Have there been studies? (Off to the Internet.) If anyone is rolling his eyes at me, I'm merely trying to help Steve get off the topic of religion. Let's face it, most of us know each other so well, we could write each other's posts. To make the cedilla, hit ALT 135 ‡‡‡‡‡ You might enjoy this site techstocks.com
