With all due respect CC, please educate us on what that "more" is. I'm curious to know what I meant.

I'm not going to continue this. Like I said before this is HST not some other forem

Dave, Your deep, well-reasoned observation leaves me .................... shivering cold.

Jim, I have to admit I feel kind of cheated. How come I never heard any good campground philosophy? Dang, Lisa is lucky in more ways than one ... (well, actually the two of you are).

However, however, I should add that perhaps the most important aspect of your tale is whether or not it actually includes metaphors:

I agree it's a clever allegorical tale, but are there actually metaphors contained within? Where are the comparisons to actual political-economy in which to draw inferences? Is the forum the heart of HST, or is it 'like' the heart of HST?

I think outdoor enthusiasts deserve to know the answers to these and other pressing matters with respect to English grammar & composition.

Now I'm rolling off my chair! These are the best posts since markskor's description of the biker wedding he worked one summer!

Well Hobbes, I'm flattered, but I think you give me too much credit. Ya see, I was just talking about my car.
I have this car ya see. It comes in three models……..oh, wait……...I already said that. Anyway, it kind of reminds my of my HVAC system at work (heating, ventilation and air conditioning). I call it the sippy hole. I have other terms of endearment for it, but this is family programming. So every week, it seems, I have to call in the keepers of the knowledge for these types of thing to adjust this and tweak that and replace this other thing for all to be well. You know, those guys charge an arm and a leg to apply their special knowledge. Heck, it cost at least an arm for them to show up.

What I have come to realize is that no matter how much money I throw at this thing, it's still too hot in the summer and too cold in the winter. During spring and fall, it's a crap shoot. These day, I just go to work with a tank top, jacket, some vaseline and a check book, then I just bend over and…… oh yeah, it's a family show. I just grease up my pocket, pull out the old check book and write a blank check and have them fill in whatever number they need to make the darn thing work. One time, I got a check returned by the bank as non-negotiable. When I looked at it, the guy who filled in the dollar amount just wrote “MORE”. I guess that's the price you pay to be conditioned.

sounds like a chevy vega with a warped head. Happy B'day as well, Jimr..

I'm so glad that Hobbs said what I was getting at so I didn't need to.
I like Kings Canyon camping for among other things because of thier showers. I imagine that trump will effectively shut down the showers and one of my favorite places will be less favorite. He may effectively shut down the store and restaurante there too. Cutting funding has a real, negative effect on our lives that one side ignores.
