For 2019 my climbing partner and I decided to commit to a full five days in the Adirondacks (vs the two trips we did in 2018). I put together an ambitious 15 peak plan starting with hiking out to the John’s Brook Lodge on Monday then summiting Big Slide Mountain. Tuesday’s plan was to traverse the entire Great Range. Wednesday we would hike out and go do Cas […]
"Don't Rape" training
“Don’t Rape” trainingMarc MacYoung has an interesting post on his blog from back in 2012: http://macyoungsmusings.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html …as usual, its blunt and controversial but contains a core of truth. The current climate surrounding “rape education” does seem to focus on trying to “train men” not to rape vs teaching women risk reduction be […]
To Protect and Serve
To Protect and Serve“Protect and Serve” was a motto devised by the LAPD in the 50’s, it was never really intended to be used as THE definition for the role of police in society. While I would like to protect everyone and everything from harm that’s simply not possible and while I do provide a public “service” I’m no individual persons “servant” I am a Public […]

martial art or art form? I find Kyudo an interesting art and an interesting subject for discussion of the term “martial art”.
than to remove all doubt: entrapment
than to remove all doubt: entrapmentI hear this all the time. That’s entrapment! You cant to that..that’s entrapment. I’ll have your job, that’s entrapment. I’ll be on the street tomorrow, that’s entrapment. While the last one may be true, it probably wont be because you were entrapped by the Police. Every State has different definitions and Laws, but in gen […]
than to speak and remove all doubt: would I lie to you?
than to speak and remove all doubt: would I lie to you?Yup. Specifically I am talking about the fairly common Myth that if you ask an undercover cop if he/she is a cop that he/she HAS to tell you. I don’t know where this myth originated but I see it all the time, almost ALWAYS in prostitution investigations. I wonder if it’s just “talismanic thinking”? In re […]
than to speak and to remove all doubt: Miranda Warnings
than to speak and to remove all doubt: Miranda WarningsYou didn’t read me my rights!=I’m clueless about criminal procedure and really think that this means my arrest is invalid and you have to let me go. If I had a dime for every time I heard it…..you need custody AND interrogation to require Miranda. That means Miranda only matters if I have arrested or det […]
The state of affairs
The state of affairsWell. After a little hiatus I’ve decided to start writing again. We will see how long it lasts. One of the last drafts I typed as over two years ago and you can read it below. Sadly, much of what I was trying to express in 2016 is still in play in early 2019. Alright. This may be long and I don’t know if anyone is going to bother reading […]

I just came back from the Dacks after a weekend of hiking and climbing with some friends and family. I had planned this “last hurrah” of the season for a while and went with my fellow “46 aspirant” Brian, my nephew Garrett, my good friend Paul and his son Matthew. The main outline of my plan was to get up at the crack of dawn on Friday so that we could arriv […]

In July of 2018 my co-worker and climbing partner were sent to Quebec City Canada for a work conference. We made plans to stop in the Adk Park and hike Giant Mt and Rocky Peak Ridge (RPR) along the way home so we packed our gear and took it with us. On July 26th we arrived at the Chapel Pond trail-head at the crack of dawn and got to it. The forecast was for […]
