My original plan was to try to make it up there on October 15th.
I even made a rare purchase of clothing and for the purpose of trying to make my way up to the top of Mica Peak, Idaho.
But nope, the day of September 14th rolled around and I decided I had to go up there sooner. And that day was almost definitely, and then by the end of the day the 14th, most definitely going to be September 15th. That was going to be the day I would learn whether or not my legs could push almost 300 pounds of me, gear, and bicycle up to almost 5000 feet. So, because the cool-looking thermal cycling jacket doesn't fit me very well, or for some other reason, I had to - HAD TO - find out if I could make it up there.
Impossible for me to pedal up the steepest inclines. Choking on the dust from the dirt road that might now be a massive lake of mud after today's brief rain-showers, the first in a long time. Large crushed rock under about an inch thick or more of powdered dust and the rippled road surface made me wonder many times if my skinny hybrid tires were going to burst. But I made it back down a hell of a lot faster than my ascension.
41 miles there and back. 3000 feet elevation gain over about 9 miles. My legs telling me today: Ready willing and able to ride bicycle again 50 miles there and back to Coeur d'Alene. My mind saying: Screw that. I'm going to sit here again most all of the waking hours today at this stupid desk in front of this stupid computer.

Porno For Pyros - Pets (radio edit) lyrics
Children are innocent, yeah
Teenagers fucked up in the head
Adults are even more fucked up
And elderlies are like children
Will there be another race
To come along and take over for us?
Maybe Martians could do
Better than we've done
We'll make great pets
We'll make great pets
We'll make great pets
We'll make great pets
We'll make great pets
We'll make great pets
We'll make great pets
We'll make great pets
My friend says we're like the dinosaurs
[Lyrics from: https:/lyrics.az/porno-for-pyros/-/pets-radio-edit.html]
Only we are doing ourselves in
Much faster than they ever did
We'll make great pets
We'll make great pets
We'll make great pets
We'll make great pets
We'll make great pets
We'll make great pets
We'll make great pets
We'll make great pets
We will make great pets
We'll make great pets
We'll make great pets
We'll make great pets
We will make great pets
We'll make great pets
We'll make great pets
We'll make great pets

US Marine Corps first lieutenant Paul Wang: Get out of here. I'm trading you. Hey, Colonel, come on. I need a new guy on my team.
US Marine Corps lieutenant colonel T.C. McQueen: Guy?! What do you think, we're back on the blocks smoking and joking? Hear this loud and clear, Marine. I am not your guy. I am not your joe. I am not your damn drinking buddy. And I sure as hell am not a mark in a singles bar. You hear this, C.F.B. I am not here to make friends! When this war ends and you go back to raising money for charity and you're eating dogs at Wrigley - and you go back to Mayberry - I'm still going to be out here - waiting for the next one. That's why I'm here. That's what I'm good for.

The Nobel Prize
The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 1996
Peter C. Doherty
Rolf M. Zinkernagel
Rolf M. Zinkernagel
Born: 6 January 1944, Basel, Switzerland
Affiliation at the time of the award: University of Zurich, Institute of Experimental Immunology, Zurich, Switzerland
Prize motivation: "for their discoveries concerning the specificity of the cell mediated immune defence."
Prize share: 1/2
Work
When the body's cells are attacked by viruses, the immune system begins killing the infected cells. By studying mice, Rolf Zinkernagel and Peter Doherty proved in 1973 how the immune system recognizes virus-ridden cells. A kind of white blood cell, T-cells, kills the virus-ridden cells, but only if they recognize both the foreign substances, viruses, and certain substances from the body's own cells. The discovery has provided an important basis for vaccines and medicines for infectious diseases, but also for inflammatory diseases and cancer.

Star Trek: First Contact (1996)
Doctor Zefram COCHRANE: So, what is it you want me to do?
RIKER: Simple. Conduct your warp flight tomorrow morning just as you planned.
COCHRANE: Why tomorrow morning?
RIKER: Because at eleven o'clock an alien ship will begin passing through this solar system.
COCHRANE: Alien? You mean extra-terrestrials. More bad guys?
TROI: Good guys. They're on a survey mission. They have no interest in Earth. ...Too primitive.
COCHRANE: Oh!
RIKER: Doctor, tomorrow morning when they detect the warp signature from your ship and realise that humans have discovered how to travel faster than light, they decide to alter their course and make first contact with Earth, right here.
COCHRANE: Here?
LAFORGE: Uh, actually over there.
RIKER: It is one of the pivotal moments in human history, Doctor. You get to make first contact with an alien race, and after you do, everything begins to change.
LAFORGE: Your theories on warp drive allow fleets of starships to be built and mankind to start exploring the Galaxy.
TROI: It unites humanity in a way no one ever thought possible when they realise they're not alone in the universe. Poverty, disease, war. They'll all be gone within the next fifty years.
RIKER: But unless you make that warp flight tomorrow morning before eleven fifteen, none of it will happen.
COCHRANE: And you people, you're all astronauts, ... on some kind of star trek?
LAFORGE: Look, Doc, I know this is a lot for you to take in, but we're running out of time here.

SPOCK: Naturally, since he did not come from there.
MIRAMANEE: I saw him come, come.
CHAPEL: Does he recognise us?
MCCOY: His brain is unimpaired. Everything else is functionally normally except his memory.
SPOCK:: Can you help him?
MCCOY: It'd take time.
SPOCK: Time, Doctor McCoy, is the one thing we do not have in abundance.

[Planet surface]
(Conifers stand on the slopes down to a lake, where three figures beam down onto a trackway.)
Doctor MCCOY: Look at those pine trees.
Captain KIRK: And that lake.
MCCOY: I swear that's honeysuckle I smell.
KIRK: I swear that's a little orange blossom thrown in. It's unbelievable. Growth exactly like that of Earth on a planet half a galaxy away. What are the odds on such duplication?
SPOCK: Astronomical, Captain. The relative size, age and composition of this planet makes it highly improbable that it would evolve similarly to Earth in any way.
MCCOY: What in blazes is that?
(A bizarre structure on a dais, with steps leading up to it.)
KIRK: Analysis, Spock.
SPOCK: An alien metal of some kind. An alloy resistant to probe. Readings can't even measure its age accurately. These incised symbols are fascinating. Evidently, some form of writing.
KIRK: Any theories about what it is?
SPOCK: Negative, Captain. Structures of this complexity require extremely sophisticated building apparatus, the kind usually found in cultures surpassing or equalling our own.
MCCOY: Meadows and no meteor craters. The whole place is an enigma, biologically and culturally.
KIRK: What's the nearest concentration of life forms, Mister Spock?
SPOCK: Bearing one one seven mark four.
KIRK: And how much time did you say we have to investigate?
SPOCK: If we are to divert the asteroid which is on a collision course with this planet, we must warp out of orbit within thirty minutes. Every second we delay arriving at the deflection point compounds the problem, perhaps past solution.
KIRK: You did say thirty minutes?
SPOCK: Yes, sir.
KIRK: Then let's go. Let's find out what life forms are blessed by this environment.
(Standing on the opposite side of the lake from a collection of tipis and a lodge.)
MCCOY: Why, they look like. I'd swear they're American Indians.
SPOCK: They are, Doctor. A mixture of Navajo, Mohican, and Delaware, I believe. All among the more advanced and peaceful tribes.
KIRK: It's like discovering Atlantis or Shangri-la. Mister Spock, is it possible there's a more evolved civilisation somewhere else on this planet, one capable of building that obelisk or developing a deflector system?
SPOCK: Highly improbable, Captain. Sensor probes indicate only one type of life form here.
MCCOY: Shouldn't we contact them, Jim? Tell them?
KIRK: Tell them what? That an asteroid's coming to smash their world into atoms?
SPOCK: Too primitive to grasp the concept of space flight, Doctor. Our appearance here would only confuse and frighten them.
KIRK: We've got a job to do. Let's get back to the Enterprise.
(Along the path.)
MCCOY: What's the matter, Jim?
KIRK: What? Oh, nothing. It's just so peaceful, uncomplicated. No problems, no command decisions. Just living.
MCCOY: Typical human reaction to an idyllic natural setting. Back in the twentieth century, we referred to it as the Tahiti Syndrome. It's particularly common to over-pressured leader types, like starship captains.
