In the news this week: A Canadian woman died on Mount Everest.

As far as deaths go, I am less upset about this than most. It is at the very low end of the death-angst continuum for me.

One reason it stayed in the news all week was because her body is still up there. Apparently, it is not a simple thing to get a body down from Mount Everest. I don't know why. I would think you could just give it a little push and let gravity do the rest but that does not seem to be how the powers-that-be want to proceed. They want to have people transport it down carefully.

Fine. Whatever.

So they are sending people up now. The interesting thing - to me anyway - is that the report I saw described Mount Everest as crowded. Apparently there are hundreds of people climbing Mount Everest all the time.



The world is a kooky place and humans are a kooky race.
 
Drinking a large glass of water right when I wake up is a part of my routine.

Today was no different except that after finishing my glass of water I looked at my phone and there was a text from my brother.

There is a boil water alert for the city I live in (E-Coli)

Can't win boyzzzzzzzzz
 
We instant message all city and county police, fire and rescue employees as well as all city official anytime we issue a boiled water notice. Surprisingly mall cops aren't on the list.


Most boiled water notices are precautionary due to a waterline break. Rarely are there any real dangers because as soon as the line is repaired ample flushing is required.

Did you know that if someone wanted to infect large populations that the water supply is ridiculously easy to contaminate? All one would have to do is hook to a tap and overcome the system pressure which is generally 60psi. Sad but scarily true.

I was asked to be the best man in a wedding for a guy that I seriously hated. Like, he called the cops on me when I had a warrant for missing a court date years ago type shit. He asked me to be his best man. I spent $150 I never had on a tux to sit in on this shit affair, gave a fantastic speech, even though I'm the worst public speaker ever....and he and his family always thought fondly of it.

Man that guy is a dick.

Shit good call...but no. My dad had the decency to not even ask me to be in his wedding. I was quite grateful.

This was an old high school guy. Complete goober. Reconnected a few years ago. Still sucked.

But man Roguey....I gave a great fucking speech. I shocked myself.
 
I bet if you did, you'd kill it. I just have a feeling.

But I've been wrong before.

Dead. Wrong.

Is it typical for a boil water notice to be a minimum of 3 days?

That's how long mine is.
 
Like seriously, if they dealt with dead bodies on Everest by just giving them a shove and letting them roll to the bottom, how great would that be? Now that I am aware of how crowded it is there, it is even better. A climber sees a body coming and they have to either dodge it or get taken out. It's all about the risk anyway right? Well the rules just changed bitches!

I bet it's not always easy to dodge things on the face of Mount Everest. Those dead bodies would be coming fast.

So you end up with a cascade effect with more and more climbers being taken out like bowling pins. I envision a whack of them ending up in a pile at the bottom with people grumbling and cursing and dusting themselves off.

Haha suckers! Start again.

:rofl:

From what I read that lady died in part because the place is crowded. She had to stand there like an idiot and wait for other egomaniacs to go on and not die stupidly in the cold, while she did.

For some reason the water at my office tastes funny to me and makes me feel bad when I drink it.

So I bring many bottle from home from the tap. My home is 2 blocks from my office and within 5 blocks of 3 different places I've lived the last 5 years all of which had perfectly fine water. But not here. I don't get it.
 
Sometimes my friend Deathnelope talks in an aggressively crude manner. She tries to create an effect and fly in the face of expectations.

Like she will talk about her poops. Except she calls them popes.

Sometimes I wonder if she is doing it on purpose. It might just be her accent that makes poop = pope, or she might be simultaneously giving a finger to the traditional idea of ladylike, while also taking a shot at the church.


The pope that came out my ass.

The pope was in my toilet where the pope belongs.



Hard to say. I wouldn't put anything past Deathnelope.
