Jesus and Martian men

I read a news story today abut Jesus and will he also save aliens as well as humans. I scoffed at first, my atheist mind saying there is no Jesus, but then I got to thinking. What if the aliens coming is actually the "Second Coming"? I would love to see the day when thousands of space ships touch down across the world and out steps thousands of Jesus look-alikes. What would that do to society? The religious fanatics would say that they were right all along. Science would say that the alien species actually were here back in biblical times, and that there was not one "real" Jesus. This would invariably raise the question if humanity is just one petri dish in a galactic science experiment. The species of Jesus planted us here and has watched us evolve over the centuries, fighting with each other, creating beautiful pieces of Art and Music "Thunderstruck and Stairway to Heaven". They then decided it was the right time to come down and show their true intentions. I think they want to eat us and steal our water but that idea has already been taken by the visitors. Maybe the visitors got smart and copied Jesus? We'll never know till we have no water and all followers of western religion were taken to "Heaven"

Exercise and skiing

So since the snow has come the bike has been disassembled and put away. With the bike gone I was out of my main exercise method. I tried to ride a stationary bike bit after 15 or 20 minutes I get bored and realize that I could be half-way up ester dome or somewhere else. I've been putting off exercise, maybe walking home from school once or twice a week and not really climbing outside of my class. That was until today. In my outdoor leadership class we learned how to classic cross country ski. It really kicks your ass. I worked muscles I haven't used since i skied as a little kid and man they are screaming. Th class was 1 hr 30 mins long and then my austrian counterpart and I decided to do the 6 mile loop. I cant remember the last time I worked so hard. So now I have a new way to get in shape and have a fun time dong it.

Winter 2010 Plans

So I decided to take all online classes next semester with the hopes to revitalize my college interest. The idea is that if I can take classes on my own schedule wherever I am I might actually do the class. This has opened up my winter/early spring next year to do several things. The first is to finish my car and get it up to AK. The second is to take Avy I and II classes to help find a guiding job. Third is to teach my dad enough mountaineering skills so he can do our proposed Denali climb. A plus side to all of this is I get to road trip back to Alaska. I've always wanted to drive this route and now I get the chance. So here is my proposed destinations. If anyone along the way has a backyard big enough to pitch a tent or a couch where I can crash it would be very welcome.
