Yeah, I'm signing up for the walking trail. I'm a walking trail kind of man, you could say.

Yep. I was reading about folks that do that "freesolo" type of rock climbing. Some do it for the thrill - one guy stated, "how can you know what safety feels like if you don't know fear?" And some do it to be, as another person said, "free of encumbering ropes and other things, to be one with the rock and experience the rock as nature intended."

And yeah, they do fall sometimes. One woman fell from what everyone said was an easy climb that was way beneath her abilities. Fell 500 feet to her death. The next day, at the same place, another guy fell about 100 feet but landed on a ledge of some kind. Paralyzed from the neck down now.

I guess they became one with the rock...

I know what safety feels like when I click my seatbelt.

Hey Z - or anyone for that matter - have you ever done any programming with Lisp? Specifically the SBCL version?

[Zzzptm]

I have not done programming.

Gotcha, thanks!

I haven't done any in many years, but even when I did I never touched Lisp. And now we're trying to be sold some software, written in Lisp.
