About Me My wife and I live on the outskirts of Washington DC. Yes I do think about atom bombs on a daily basis. When we are not toiling away at our day jobs we're hiking all 500 miles in SNP. We are planing to write a guide on trails and backcountry camping in the park (I won't tell where we work but I'll give you a hint triple venti 2 pump rasberry, one half splenda, no whip, extra thick foam white mocha)

The Tao, cool old school philosophy from our bro's in the east. "In the emptiness of the bucket we find it's usefulness." Yes, I do like the grateful dead, but I gotta job!

Sorry, can't help you, I have giant monkey toes. But for some reason I will still watch this thread. Injinjis rock, by the way.
