A modest proposal to slightly decrease rescues on Skyline ..

General Palm Springs area.

Hello Cynthia ~ there was no insult intended. Point is, when one adult wants to regulate the choices of another, it can fairly be view as parental. Since you are a female, maternalistic seemed appropriate (vs. paternalistic). Being somebody who cares about the well-being of others is a great quality; I just disagree with what you did with the thread. (ie. Skyline Closed, come back in October) Conversely, I take no offence at all at being described as a "live free or die type," since that is probably pretty accurate. Just a difference of opinion is all, and I appreciated the exchange that resulted from the thread. Disagreements, even pointed ones, should not be construed as a personal attack.

Red or Blue? How many grams does that add? At least it could provide some shade.

Yes, bluerail, Materno-Cynthia is distributing capes to all the GOOD boys. The bad ones (you know who you are) will be getting littleburninglumpsof coal. :o

Now, I must get back to regulating the tobacco industry, enforcing motorcycle helmet laws, and putting fluoride in the water system.

Wash, Rinse, Repeat: summer Skylines are not worth the risk, to oneself or OTHERS.

... and btw, since we're on the subject of multiple Skylines--has anyone ever kept track of "most in a row, over multiple days?" I sometimes wonder what it would be like to do one every day, for say, two weeks straight. But wondering is all I'M going to do about it ...

If I did a Whitney triple, I'd definitely need a double afterwards. Or maybe a double double. And I ain't talkin' In-N-Out here.

I'll buy you a Superman shirt with a big S, and hand deliver it on Skyline if you can complete that Whitney triple.

If you give it to him beforehand, then he can wear the cape during the triple......
