I reflect on this site and the community of climbers that it nucleates. Thanks Ray and Michele; you guys are crucial and super solid. There are so many others like the Webers, Tacketts, Dr. Bob, and those crazy guys going around and routing bolts up interesting walls who give time and money. This whole social phenomenon is love-powered. The RRG climbing scene is more like Haight/ Ashbury than, well Haight/ Ashbury was like . . . well, Haight/ Ashbury.

Well, if the exchange rate for euros to dollars was say, 1:1.50, Miguel could charge 20.00euros for a pie, and make a lot of dough... heh heh...

Just a lot of trips to lex to convert the money to dollars...

The rates for
Thursday, 10th May 2007

16 USD (one pizza) = 11.8144 EUR
One EUR = 1.3543 USD

he would sure make a killing charging 20 euro... but who would pay that much?
