"Every man is my superior, in that I may learn something from him."


I have no desire whatsoever to climb Everest.

...I never submitted the whole system of my opinions to the creed of any party of men whatever in religion, in philosophy, in politics, or in anything else where I was capable of thinking for myself. Such an addiction is the last degradation of a free and moral agent.


The kind that needs to keep his watchful eye on real estate

Mostly focused on movie gore, but in this case, real gore, albeit frozen solid and preserved for the ages.

Nor helicopters. Just checked the ceiling on an Osprey,

They already need little enough excuse to crash. No

good reason to send 'em up there. :(

There is some helicopter activity up there, but I wouldn't

Everest season is upon us. They all try to summit in early
