I've taken a few avalanche awareness courses over the years and still had to google "heuristic traps," but I also had to google "Strunk & White" and definitely "sesquipedalian."

It was a gift from my professors, one of which at the time was the senate majority leader for the state of colorado. For an engineering only college, it was quite the oddball gift to give students who generally hated writing. Fortunately, it never got tossed and I picked it up many years later. Of course, the book is titled The elements of style. I'm sure grammar is somehow intertwined in there, but never really my interest. I always remembered the dollar word/penny word thing. Less so for style, more as I don't like coming off as a sesquipedalian. How's that for "comedic genius?" Can I get another +10?
*I also had to google the plural of thesis

Re: Avy concerns: Unusually dangerous conditions
Oh ok, I guess trying to save a few lives by making sure everyone saw an announcement that the typical unstable Colorado snowpack is even more unstable than usual this year (the most unstable since 2012) isn't really a point worth making.
Oh well, my bad - on with the drift. Shall we talk about proper peeing techniques now? No wait, that's on one of the other drifting threads...

Does anyone have a copy of that new forum thread CaptCO developed in which he gravely asked to be removed from 14'ers.com? That was the Best of 2020!
Rudy can't fail.

We watched sections of John Wick during a recent CQB recert and it's pretty legit pistolwork. The one-handed brass checks, various reloads, it's a masterpiece.
