Wonderful list though, Shutterbug. I think we in Boston tend to take the Customs House for granted. Glad to see others appreciate it.

Love, love, love number 7 - but surprised orcas are still out there. I thought SeaWorld had stolen the all and decimated their northwest populations and broken up their families decades ago.

Exquisite!

1) Thank you, Greenlight.

2) Okee - I hardly think that "patriotism" (whatever that means these days) is a measure of good moral character. In my childhood "patriotism" sent impoverished young men...

ITA, Greenlight. But if someone wants to throw money at someone and it doesn't take away from, say, their own child, I'm fine with that. I won't take food out of my own child's mouth. But it makes...

All generations want this in some way. Now there's just technology to spread awareness of it.

I have no problem with fundraising sites....

Just curious - why do you have a poem about death as your sig line? (or JumpMaster Blaster)

If you do it as a fundraiser for a non-profit, it could help your job hunt. Yes, it will show up, but you explain (BRIEFLY) in your cover letter. IOW, you fund your own hike, but ask others to...

Loss of habitat and overfishing? You must be excluding the northeast.

LSU grad school mid-1980s Master's degree. Fond memories.

I can't understand why anyone would be opposed to picking up a child in distress, even if money was not an issue, even if there was a way to get home easily (bus, rail, etc.).

Some complain we...

What about the women Marines?

Didja know that the Marines accept women?

Tru story, bro - almost 100 years of service!

Wow.

And who are you to comment on his manhood?

He's really something just for even trying.

So if someone is raising money, say, for an Alzheimer's trial drug, if you're not a chemist by trade, you are willing to somehow will yourself into the disease, and become a test subject?

There are many, many older people asking for money on GFM, OJ.

Also, GFM and like sites take 8% off the top.
