[No, friends, for right now we’re going to resist writing about the apparent genuine or artificial “genius” who figured out how to beat the cyber-system and register for Umstead early. That one’s too obvious. Today’s contribution to the betterment of humankind is, uh, fictional?] Ingelhook Wineries present… REAL WOMEN OF GENIUS {Re-al gals of geeeeeene-yuss}...
Middle Income Richard’s Third Millennium Almanack, No. 32 Addenda: Klas Eklof’s Hardrock 2006 Photo Journal
Photographs of the course of the Hardrock 100 Mile Endurance Run, 2006. As a first-timer this year, I obviously tried to study the course as much as I possibly could, from my arm chair in California. Reading the detailed course description and studying the maps was extremely helpful, but inadequate. The online photo reports I...

[First of all, I’d just like to say “thanks”–reelly and troubly–to all the many folks who’ve–so far–responded so positively to all this negativity… ( O_O ) …and who have even sent me e-mails which I hope they’ll forgive me for not always answering… …and to my good buddy Bill Thom for even offering to upchuck...

The plain fact is: THIS particular issue is our first “retro anniversary issue” which has been done up on purpose to look kind of like that very first black- and-white issue did way back in late May of 2001. But the even plainer fact is: Our entire computer “system” crashed (see why below), and this is about the best we can do right now. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Limacher’s Law: The only things that actually happen in life can never be imagined in advance. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Chair of Contents: r e...
