The top of the world was my goal.

This was an offer I couldn’t refuse. Nearly killed me.

I ain’t dead, yet, folks.

Please see my NEWS with the same title for a little more.

As far as my pic, it’s partly fat, and partly a lot of very high tech government issue ‘suit’. But, I lost all of that. Remember – walk like a penguin so you don’t bust your ass. Nothing there but a BUNCH of tunnels and missile silos. There is so much gold in the downhill run-off, you can see it in little specs dripping until is cuts a hole in the ice and runs downhill in rivulets slowly dripping a cutting stream and collecting in a little pool. Then it freezes again and eventually warms up enough to snow and the little pools of golddust are covered over. Unless you mark them and have the means to go back and get them.
