The look for your site is a tad off in Epiphany. Even So I like your web site. I may need to use a normal browser just to enjoy it.

It took me a long time to figure it out, but there are four requirements for a DISCUSSION.
1. De-personalization, and I fall into that trap, too.
2. Use of statistics.
3. Statement of consequences if you are wrong.
4. Statement of what it would take to change your beliefs.

Have you given any kind of thought at all with converting your blog in to French? I know a couple of translaters here that will would help you do it for no cost if you want to get in touch with me.

Page or southeast on the plateau. This is a near sunset one, and the WNW horizon has to be flat. With a solar filter on a scope, may be able to shoot pictures through view finder. Will set up camcorder, too, although the shots from Kenya were so-so at only 19x. It wouldn’t take higher mags well.

It is sad that sooooooo many still refuse to research their propaganda. What you have said here should be posted. Maybe they really want to set up a debate. We can only hope.

What you do in the BW depends upon what you want to do–travel, fish, base camp, solitude. Your permit will determine where and when you go in. How much and how far you want to carry are major factors. How well you can paddle, especially in wind, is important. The numbered lakes (1,2,3,4) are open but have fire damage. Fall-Basswood, Moose-Knife, Moose-Basswood, Snowbank-Ima-Thomas are all good routes in the Kawishiwi District (Ely). I have traveled in the Gunflint a few times, but it has been years ago. Basswood has many nice campsites, even in the motorized areas. Mudro-Horse-Crooked is very nice, but more work with river travel. Horse is a beautiful lake, and Crooked very nice as well. As for cabins, I haven’t stayed at any in the Ely area, but only on the lakes. There are many fine resorts, all with lake access, and that is a fine way to see the country. From those places, there are often some hiking trails. The BW has hiking trails, but the lakes are what make it special. I had just 2 days, soloed in to Lake One and visited the fire area. Lake One was quiet, unlike later on this summer. It was wonderful.

My family and I are excited for our Boundary Waters trip next week, from your travelings, do you have any favorite boundary waters cabins or camp sites?

Comment on DEATH IN THE YOUNG….AND SUICIDE, NOT BY COP, BUT BY POVERTY. by denisehelmkay

Although I am no longer in the “young” category, I am a survivor of a catastrophic medical event. June 2008 I began a journey through Viral Meningitis and the sequalae still limiting my life. If it wasn’t for COBRA and President Obama’s efforts to provide continuity of care following major illness, I would not be alive. Also, “current medical practice” eliminates alternative medical interventions and the payment for such. I have significant brain damage and my sister is paying for most of my needs. That just isn’t right. I have worked all my life and paid plenty into the “system”. What efforts are keeping me alive should be included in my Medicare and Medicaid. Many of us are falling thru the holes. In MY opinion.
