A sad day for adventure seekers....

Edmund Hillary died yesterday. To commemorate his passing I propose that everyone find the tallest point within your town, go to the top, and reflect upon living life to the fullest and the great outdoors ;)

Noooooooooo. Hillary was a great man as well as adventurer. He set up a trust fund for the sherpas that helped him. Also, I don't know how many people know this, but he had a great idea for an adventurer occupation--beekeeper. You get half the year off to do what you want, climbing for example. I want to climb Everest! You should watch Everest on the Discovery channel. It kicks ass and shows just how tough it is. It requires a huge amount of physical stamina, mental stamina, experience, and Lady Luck.

BTW, Lincoln's capital building is HELLA TALL. I should climb it. I hear you can see the four states that border the city: Ohio, Nevada, Maine and Kentucky.
