Not really a poetic quote, but something I'll remember for a very long time. A bit of history to this "Quote". I used to spend time climbing with Ron Olevsky in the desert southwest. One day Ron brought a postcard he had just recieved to the store that I work. He had recieved it 2 weeks after the fateful day. It reads as follows:

Hey Ron- Greetings from Mount Everest. All is going well. Pete and Klev are doing great. We expect to summit on May 7 or so. This Mt. Everest is a big hill. Don't let anybody tell you different.

Stay in touch
Scott

The postcard has a picture taken by Scott Fischer in 1994

I recently got done reading Mountain Madness by Robert Birkby. Scott was one crazy awesome dude. Great quote Bo.

"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream.

Things changed after 09/11 of that year

[hank moon]

Things changed after 09/11 of that year

Again, this is all a POV. Some like to say "the world changed" but since the world is a POV, all that changed is a POV. This is not to ignore the fact that people died and buildings crumbled, but this happens every day all over the world. That it happened in the U.S. was unusual, but not unprecedented ('93 WTC, Oklahoma City).
