Hey y’all from the great Southwest. Yesterday we attacked the Summit Trail of Camelback. Here are some of the camel’s humps:

I wish I could say I got that dinosaur egg on my shin from some really cool climbing stunt. Nope, I bashed it against a rock and broke a blood vessel or bruised my bone, not sure. Either way, it scared the heck out of my climbing partners. It’s sure to be a gnarly bruise.

On the drive to our hike, our carload was listening to the radio again, and a George Harrison song which shall remain nameless came on. I happen to not be a fan. It’s a particular post-Beatles tune that just bores me.

However, it sparked quite the rage in another passenger who shall not be named. It appears that sometimes people think that the Beatles (or any member of the band) can do no wrong, and that it is some sort of musical sacrilege to mock them.

I say hooey. John, Paul, Ringo and George made many incredible songs. And some just aren’t special. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but it’s true.

Soooo… I’m going to stick my neck out and offer up “the good, the bad, and the ugly,” Liverpudlian style. 

With a little help from my friends
