Bush has earned this

Impeach Bush!

I signed previous petitions that got the articles of impeachment before a congressional panel, now it's time for the next step!

El Diablo

Got in a training hike today, this time on Mt. Diablo. That is definitely the devil to you and me. Training for a mountaineering expedition to Mt. Ritter in mid-September. Michael, Tony, Sienna, and I met at 6 am at the Mitchell Canyon entrance and took off from there.

We gained 3,000' + of elevation which meant it was steep going up and steep going down. We covered about 14.5 miles start to finish. Hot. Dry. More poison oak than I've ever, ever seen in one place. Like a freaking forest of poison oak everywhere you looked - on the ground and 10 feet overhead. I think I avoided it all. Man am I going to sleep tonight.
