May 2024 Pacific Northwest Weather
Been waiting for it to start snowing at paradise so we can start going up but it's still raining, but it seems like it'll change to snow very soon, and it'll be quite the dump of snow tonight up on the Mountain, we will not be happy campers. But that's just the conditions we wanted so there are no complaints! 35 at home which is very cold for a may afternoon, .65" rain today. According to the wife, some flakes are starting to mix in with the rain, I'll bet on a few inches of snow tonight. -

Middle East Conflict of 2023-2024
Nice people at UW I have passed the encampment several times and have never seen even a single member of the UW Police force in the area. This encampment interfered with instruction in the many classrooms facing the quad due to the blaring noise from their bullhorns and loud music. Some of the student bouncers were physically blocking individuals taking pictures. The Hamas activists called for the destruction of the State of Israel (from the river to sea, Palestine will be free chants) and global violence (Global Intifada). But they had particular hate for President Biden and the Democratic Party, with frequent screams of "Biden, Biden You Can't Hide, You are Guilty of Genocide". The Democratic party was considered far right for many folks in this group. Some wore Communist Party shirts while others held signs for the Revolutionary Workers Party (see below). Some of the signs called for violence against police, which I suspect is illegal (see below). But it was the stunning ignorance and lack of historical knowledge that really was shocking. I calmly asked one the the folks in the yellow jackets why he was against Israel. He told me that the Jews were colonialists. I calmly told him that he was incorrect. That the Jews were in the land for at least 3000 years and that the Arabs were the recent conquerors. He told me that I was wrong, that there were no Jews in the region until the 1900s. I noted that Jews were noted in both versions of the bible. He countered that the bible was mythology. I noted that Roman literature talked about Israel and there was definitive archeological proof. He then walked away.- 1

Not an accurate image, Jessie has too short of a barrel for that... stuff.... to gain enough momentum to travel that far. There's also no lotion in the photo, and considering he has a religious name, he likely needs lotion. Other than that, spot on! -

There'll be some Avalanche danger but it shouldn't be that bad, and we always turn back if it gets too dangerous. Thank you for well wishes. Im still in shock about what happened to Rocky Shorey last month, he was a very well experienced and accomplished Mountaineer, but he made 1 simple mistake by stepping onto the cornice and it ended the poor guys life. I've spent a day with rocky a few years back, my buddy was good friends with him and it worked out for us to all go up Jefferson together, and although I didn't get to know him that well in 1 day, it seemed like he was a good and respectful guy and not the type to mess around and make stupid mistakes, and he had a VERY good sense of humor. It was a tragic incident that could've happened to anyone. Deep condolences to his family.- 1
