3rd time in the past 12 months.....
Please use me as a walking Public Service Announcement...
Protect yourselves (and more importanly YOUR KIDS) with sunblock DAILY - and not just in the summer.
Childhood burns and a lifetime of sun exposure *WILL* catch up to you. Use me as an warning: this morning I went in for my THIRD skin cancer surgery in 12 months. :(
And all 3 are a result of a lifetime worth of sun expsore, not "I'm bald now and have no protection".... in fact, I wear a hat all the time (sunblock too -- DAILY), and I for regular skin canver screenings at my dermatologist. And I encourage you all to do the same.
So be smart - protect yourself and your kids DAILY. Hats, sunblock, facial moisturizer with a high SPF.... ALL YEAR 'ROUND.

After an unfortunate 2+ hour Kayak outing where I forgot to put sunblock on my legs, my Gustins became my Kayaking pants for the next few days.

"Got my stuff (jacket, overshirt, sunblock, cds, blanket, flashlight) and headed east at 2. Traffic was pretty heavy the whole way there, especially up to and just over the pass. I ran into an ex-coworker Chris (he got hit in the layoffs last Christmas) and his girlfriend at the rest stop near Cle Elum - they were on their way to the show as well. Said hi, and maybe I'll see you there. Stopped at DQ in Ellensburg for some lunch/dinner. Got the the place right at 5. Right before getting in line to go through the gates, I remembered I left my sunglasses in the car. So I went back and got them, which gave me a good opportunity to find my car in the lot once again. Then, in line and through the gates. Oh, and two people in front of me was an old friend from high school, Kim W. Thought I'd say hi once we got through the gates, but duh she and her companion were long gone once I got through. Oh well. The schedule indicated New Order were going on third, at 7. So, I grabbed a spot up on the hill to enjoy the scenery and the sounds of Rhinocerose, who were pretty neat. Up at that level the sound was just right, too.
Then I checked out the Focus pavillion, which wasn't terribly exciting (yay, a dance club in a tent, and I'm not that big on house/ mainstream techno). So I wandered off towards the food court, without going in since I knew I didn't want anything they had anyway. Ran into said ex-coworker again, and so we stood on the hill in the sun and wind and talked about the recent events and life etc while The Roots played.
After that they went off to check out the Focus place, and I grabbed a drink ($3.50 for a coke - water was the same price (20ozs or so)) and went down to stake out a spot near the stage for New Order. Sadly, NO are short a person on this tour since Steve and Gillian's daughter is sick, so Gillian stayed home. They have an extra keyboard player (who?), and Billy Corgan on guitar. One good side effect is that it allowed Steve to play drums on almost all the songs. Generally they were great, they really rocked, and I liked the new songs I heard. The usual NO quirks were there, out of tune guitars, one or two flubs per song by the bass player. But it was still awesome.
Unfortunately for me it ended on a down note. There were two guys in front of me, who seemed not to bad but generally buffoonish the whole time. Early in the set, one of them kept yelling for them to play songs from Movement, their first album. They didn't. They did however play two Joy Division songs (from before they were New Order), "Atmosphere" and "Love Will Tear Us Apart". So when this guy kept asking for "some early stuff", well. Anyway, by the last three songs of the set this guy, who didn't really seem terribly angry, kept flipping off Peter Hook (in both American and English). Finally Peter noticed and got pissed. Historically Hook has been easily provoked, and today I got the feeling that the level of intoxicants in his system was above average. So the end result was that he stood there giving this dork the look of death for about a song and a half, missing half of his cues. Dork didn't seem to notice, or at least avoided his gaze. Anyway at the end of the last song it was a bilingual "fuck you" gesture once more, which caused Hook to throw down his bass (the Shergold) and walk to the edge of the stage to say something nasty. I was half expecting him to jump into the crowd and kick this guy's ass. Not sure if I'm happy he didn't. Anyway, he left the stage in a very bad mood.
So, once people started leaving, I had to find out what was wrong with this guy.
me: was it something he said? Asshole: who? me: Peter! AH: Oh - yeah I was flipping him off English style me: uh, right. Why? AH: Well I wanted them to play some early stuff me: you mean like "LWTUA"? AH: No, early stuff, from Movement me: LWTUA came out a year before Movement AH's friend: (puts his hand on my shoulder) Hey, I like this guy me: ?? AH: Uh...Hey this guy did the same act last night and he'll do it again tomorrow night! me: With you, here, saying "Fuck you!"? AH: Yeah! me: ?? Whatever - why did you go out of your way to piss him off? I'd have appreciated it if you hadn't done that AH: Don't tell me you wouldn't want to be in his position!! me: What?? What does that have to do with anything? AH: Everything! me: uh... AH: [here it comes] Hey - I paid this guy $70... AH's friend: Yeah, me too! me: ... so? AH: So, I wanted to hear some early stuff! me: [I've had it at this point, walking away] Well, you can believe that if you want. But you're still fucked.
Any of this sound familiar? Anyway, earlier I wasn't sure if I'd stick around for the acts after New Order (Outkast, Moby). But after this I had to leave.
Another down note, I really should've put in the earplugs for the NO set. It was a lot louder than Nine Inch Nails were last year (go figure), and I've got three or four different tones ringing in my ears now. ugh. "
be gone, you festering ball of warmth!
no no, i'm kidding! i didn't mean it!! don't go! i was drunk... come back, iiii loooves youuuu.....
ohhhh noooees.
Mono Pass and Little Lakes Valley, Eastern Sierra, 30. Me, photo looking back towards Ruby Lake. Before I shrank this picture down to a more reasonable size, you could see just how beet-red the side of my neck was. Yeah, I was stupid and didn't wear sunblock. I was covered up otherwise, but my entire face and neck was a deep red by the end of the day.
Mono Pass Trail Hike, Little Lakes Valley, California. Located about a half an hour from Bishop, the Little Lakes Valley is one of the easiest access points to the High Sierra in California. Turning off from Highway 395 at the junction of Tom's Place, a paved road leads straight up into the mountains, terminating at a place in the John Muir Wilderness called Mosquito Flat just over 10,000 feet in elevation (one of the highest elevation paved roads in the state). From here, you can take the relatively easy hike among the glacier-carved lakes along the Little Lakes Valley and Rock Creek. Or, you can take the more challenging paths, up into the mountains.
From the trailhead at the valley floor, the trail follows along Rock Creek for the first half mile, until you reach a junction, turning left abruptly up along the flanks of Mount Starr. Climbing steadily for the next mile up to 11,000 feet, where a small spur leads off to Ruby Lake, situated at the very edge of the treeline. The trail then turns left again, heading around the southern edge of Mount Starr, climbing higher and getting more rugged with each step.
Turning northward, leaving the last of the hardy vegetation behind, it's a landscape of greys and browns, bare rock and lichens. Finally passing over the wide saddle of Mono Pass at 12,000 feet at the 3 1/4 mile mark, it's like a moonscape. Even at this extreme elevation, this is one of the more easily accessible path over the nearly-impassable Inconsolable Range of mountains, and this pass has been used for centuries by Indian tribes and (later) explorers. Yet it is only snow-free for a few short months during the late summer and early fall.
From here, the trail levels out, dropping slightly to Summit Lake half a mile to the north - a clear blue snow-fed depression at 11,900 feet. From here, the trail continues along the western slopes of the Sierra Crest, first to a little cirque called Fourth Recess, then into Pioneer Basin - far too remote for a day hike and reserved for only the dedicated backpackers. I turned around and returned back along the Mono Pass Trail, down to Ruby Lake and then back to the Little Lakes Valley. Sunburned and exhausted but satisfied to have explored this remote corner of California.
This is a popular place to hike, and there are plenty of other photographs of the region by others on the internet. For more information, here are a few websites to visit:

Somebody did the old "paint with sunblock" trick on Sue Ellen, maybe not intentional but it worked nonetheless. These stickers were attached and subsequently removed (together with rad multi-color racing stripes) some time ago. Some of them had the right kind of transclucency, leaving their mark as the paint fades in the sun. Hopefully the marks will disappear when our paint reconditioning is finished (the bum is the only place untouched, finally).
The stickers are barely recognizable by the naked eye in sunlight, but shooting individual photos and doing some contrast & sharpening worked magic! Now we can tell that the ole van has been around a few places in northern Sweden - which is where we bought it, no big reveal there. These have an old touch though (no english, just Swedish, and they're comparatively small). There were more stickers which left just outlines, but we'll presume previous owners took pride in riding their bus around the bigger and lesser sights of Sweden, adding to the collection.
