Downward bound -

I have a copy of a "vulgarian digest" from the early 70's somewhere (probably in a box up in my dads attic) - really good stuff. I recall an in-depth article about different types of cheap wine and their impact on sounds and smells one generates after consuming them.

I also have some friends who can't figure out why I don't take stuff more seriously - but every time I try to I get this mental image of Batso and Dean posing for advert pics while on the dawn wall (aka wall of the early morning light - el capitan) - drinking wine - apparently out of crystal glasses they humped up the wall just for that purpose. I mean when you're thinking about something that absurd - how can you NOT laugh at the chunk of skin that just came off in a rather nasty off-width?

Sure - some 'hard man / gym rat' could probably push the dawn wall free solo in five hours now - but reading about the "bat cart" and the rest of the stuff they tried - I have a feeling Warren and Dean had a lot more fun!

Thanks for the links - I'm gonna go check 'em out -
