@bootaski Christian Bible says Money is the root of all evil. Almost. Instead, it says the **want** of money is the root of all evil. It suggests once you got enough, you won't want any **more money.** It's the goal to be a future lay about that makes us pursue money.

@chilehead9 It's pretty well understood that half of the US misadventures in the middle east are centered on getting control or even just access to oil. It's a much misunderstood and terribly wrong reason. If it was the correct reason Iran would be our 51st state. We could knock over Venezuela with overwhelming firepower on any Thursday afternoon. When Venezuela seized billions in US oil platforms in their country, the political forces to invade Venezuela and get it back were on the level of fiddler's fart. Likewise, when OPEC was the oil king and drove up oil prices by selling less on the world's oil market, World War III didn't break out. Everybody went peacefully to the gas pump in lines and **paid more.**The price and availability of oil depends on the world's market from a divergent group of diverse countries. Because the ecologically destructive shade oil production in the US, we now **export** oil. We'll set fire to your tap water, but dam it, we got cheap gas now. Our military adventures are about creating puppet states that fall in line with shifting US policies. If they don't fall in line with that, we'll stomp their butts.

@AstralSmoke I started at sunrise and walked until it was too dark to see. Reasonable people wait until it's light enough to prepare a meal and pack up their gear. Same story for pitching a tent and fixing dinner before the sun goes down. It makes it simpler than trying to find tent poles in the dark. Once it starts getting dark, people start tripping and falling on things. It is possible to hike in the dark, but you'll be burning up your batteries. In real life they don't ride off in the sun set. The horse will trip and fall if it can't see where it is walking. The cowboys don't want to shoot a horse with a broken leg. >How did you like the PCT?

@AstralSmoke The longest hiking trail in Florida is the unfinished Florida Trail. It doesn't cross any state lines. It runs (sort of) from Orlando in South Florida to the western panhandle of Florida. Walking along the road with a pack is sometimes referred to as rubber tramping. According to a best selling book *A Walk Across America* motorists are prone to take pity on the hiker and offer them a lift. In retrospect, the author says "the majority of the experience teeters on the edge of terror during lonely nights beside the road." On the first half of his hike, a car hit his dog. On the second half of his hike, a car hit his wife. The wife survived. The dog did not survive.

I really thought it was going to be everywhere....

@Christiep77 You're welcome. My childhood years including hiking in a swamp, the most likely place to fall into quicksand. I quickly learned to bring a hiking staff to test out if the ground was solid. I still use a hiking staff, now for a longer list of reasons including clearing the path of spider webs and knocking rattle snakes off the trail. Live dangerously. Want to go hiking now? ?

Good morning all.

Last time I used the word "bozo" I had to explain it to a high school student. **Originally** Bozo was based on a children's book *Bozo, the Capitol Clown.*" Later it was incorporated in a cartoon show with a host (Bozo) with a live audience to fill in the gaps between the varying lengths of cartoons. Children's TV shows haven't been hosted for a very long time. Explaining it makes me feel obscenely ancient.

@AstralSmoke Everyone had trail names. I guess it's sort of like this site. On this site the reason is people discriminate both socially and for employment reasons. (They need not say truthfully **why** you were fired). People out in the middle of nowhere aren't likely to follow through for those reasons. There isn't any reason to grab 'em, shake 'em by the shoulders and announce "I'm an atheist from Ocala, Florida, you cretin!" I figure it must be for a completely different set of reasons. I was hoping for creditable reasons. > . . . she had started in FL and was going up into Canada. The AT **starts** in the mountains of north Georgia, specifically Springer Mountain. Her directions were a little off. It would be logical for her to start in the winter in Florida to keep from being hit by heat stroke and a year later in Canada wearing snow shoes and getting done in by hypothermia and frost bite. Where was she heading? Moose Jaw?

@AstralSmoke Even Mr. Ed without Wilbur can't do 40 miles a day. "The horses could go about four miles an hour for about eight hours. That makes 32 miles but the infantry could only go about 25 miles. An all mounted force could go futher of course. This is all based on decent roads and an army small enough to use one road, well equiped for travelling, well supplied."

@AstralSmoke Maryland I did close to 40 miles a day, flat and wonderful! In the military a **forced march** is considered 20 miles a day. That is as hard as the military is willing to push it. In contrast Charl5 when I asked what mile marker he started at for his 12 day hike (1069) and where it ended (1243) that works out to 10.66 miles per day. In a documentary where they gave AT hikers video cameras (most didn't survive the entire AT), they over assumed how fast they'd be doing it. What they **did** was about what Charl5 was doing. Most dropped out because of either depression or leg and foot injuries. Because I'm a fat old asthmatic **mountain** backpacker, I average seven miles a day with a fat younger woman. We **never** pass anyone on the trail. Anywhere close to 40 miles a day, ought to kill you.

@FrayedBear You'll never go to Diego Garcia. It's **supposed** to be a top secret US navy communication base owned by blabber mouth Brits. The Brits keep chickens and a couple of donkeys there. I kid you not. The Brits regularly warn the US sailors not to get the donkeys drunk. The sailors ignore them. It's a former coconut plantation with endangered coconut crabs. The crabs crack open the coconuts. The whole place is a coral atoll located eight degrees south of the equator in the Indian Ocean. The lagoon is filled with hammerhead sharks and poisonous shell fish. The atoll is surrounded by powerful ocean currents that can either sweep people out to sea or into the coral. They won't let anyone on the atoll that has a swim mask. It's a major buzz kill, unless you're an alcoholic donkey. Anyone who gets there can't wait to get away from there, partly because there is one woman for every 8,000 horny sailors. If you need to an excuse to kill yourself, it's a good place to do it.

@OldGoat43 In a previous century, I played substitute teacher for Pensacola's inner city. I was the school system's favorite substitute teacher because I could handle a brawl in the classroom. (I'd call the main office and tell them a fight is about to break out and send me some help. By the time the school resource officer and staff members showed up it was a full blown donnybrook involving half the class). After one of those things, the school staff would almost drop to their knees and say "Mr. Warthog, you've come **back**!" During lunch breaks in the teacher's lounge, I'd hear other teachers talk about moving to Montana to escape the black kids. Everyone was doing their best for the kids, but they'd add "**Dam, Bubba, Montana is starting to sound pretty good.**"
