Off Topic, Rock Climbing

Rock Climbing Resources: YouTube, Web Sites, Books

There is so much information publicly available today about rock climbing these days it’s hard to know where to start. It certainly wasn’t that way “BITD”… back then, you usually latched on to a mentor and learned by following and watching someone more experienced… or you found a local climbing club who offered lessons… or both!

A number of friends have asked about where to go for reliable climbing info, thus this post.

Trump Follower? Here Is What You Support…

Many of our friends are (or were) Trump supporters.

Many thought that perhaps this New York billionaire could be the answer, so they took a chance and ticked the box for Trump-Pence.

Unfortunately, this particular Emperor turned out to have no clothes and it’s time Trumpsters get humble and recognize that fact. We definitely need a strong conservative party to balance out the Democratic party in our politics–a healthy friction, in my opinion. But what we definitely DO NOT need, is a corrupt, autocratic, and incompetent “Trump Party”.

It’s time for him and his enablers to go.

It’s time for all of us to embrace Truth.
