From the O:<br /><br />The document accused Minnis of subjecting a female employee to sexual advances that began in October 2008 during a work-related trip to Bend and ended in November 2009, when the two attended a professional conference in San Diego. She says he frequently touched her and made inappropriate comments, including telling her his goal was to be "the best lover."<br /><br />Oregon labor officials also say Minnis violated disability protections when he plied the employee with vodka to weaken her resistance even though Minnis knew she was an alcoholic and had alcohol-related blackouts. The woman told state officials that she passed out on more than one occasion with Minnis, and later woke up in bed wearing only her underpants and not remembering what had happened.<br /><br />http://www.blueoregon.com/2010/05/john-minnis-cited-sexual-harrassment-faces-2-million-judgment/anonynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7594366310437242857.post-67521107059739642112010-05-12T22:41:05.846-04:002010-05-12T22:41:05.846-04:00Oh those photos were back before the dinosaurs,.. ...Oh those photos were back before the dinosaurs,.. how the hell old are you guys anyways ?<br /><br />http://images.clipartof.com/small/19390-Clipart-Illustration-Of-A-Goofy-Yellow-Smiley-Face-Teasing-And-Sticking-Its-Tongue-Out.jpganonynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7594366310437242857.post-7440025635539786142010-05-12T22:36:45.779-04:002010-05-12T22:36:45.779-04:00No wait,..

http://www.youtube.com/w...My "backyard":<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CqHWbvRO3zw<br /><br />Not me in the video...<br /><br />In the late 1970's I could go to Carr lake - the first one in the video - and camp every weekend during the summer. Some friends of mine worked in restaurants and had mid week off, we'd leave the campsite set up and trade off camping times. At that time I could be there on a holiday weekend, yet be the only person there. <br />Over time people started coming in, but it was still possible to find a campsite that was private yet near the lake. But in the early 80's it started getting more crowded. They "improved" the road which had been 12 miles of rough dirt, paving all but the last 4 miles, and the hoards began coming in.<br /> That's when we began backpacking to the other lakes where we once again found solitude. There is a shot in the video where he takes a picture of his shadow on the ground - the lake which is shown just before and after that shot is Crooked Lake - 3.5 miles from the trailhead at about 7,000 feet. My wife and I spent our honeymoon there. We were married in the forest nearby.<br />Over the years the place has become totally overrun with people, they now charge to camp at Carr lake and also to park at the trailhead. The cars parked for the trailhead, which used to number less than a dozen, now stretch several miles down the road on both sides of the road. <br />Years ago we reverted to car camping, but instead find places in the area away from the lakes and other people.BB2http://bluebear2.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7594366310437242857.post-91157484073743342010-05-12T15:08:47.407-04:002010-05-12T15:08:47.407-04:00No, I see it's the NYT on crack.<a href="http://www.racewire.org/archives/2010/05/32_black_republicans_running_for_congress_this_year.html" rel="nofollow">No, I see it's the NYT on crack</a>.99http://neufneuf.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7594366310437242857.post-15660944886710292552010-05-12T15:04:22.570-04:002010-05-12T15:04:22.570-04:00Actually, it doesn't seem to be in there anymo...Actually, it doesn't seem to be in there anymore...????<br /><br />At any rate, it's probably the right count.
