I haven't been to very many places. The most memorable was probably my trip to Yosemite with my father.
We climbed Half-Dome and Nevada and Vernal Falls, I ate his concocted camping "pizza" made out of tomato paste, string cheese and wheat bread slices, and he decided to climb a tree one night only to be trapped up there by a bear who picked up apples and started throwing them at him! Great fun. :D

What is the most risky thing you have ever done?
Put my life in danger by standing still on my bike in the middle of the road to save the long line of caterpillars which were migrating across it from being run over. :D

took a 'short cut' when hiking down yosemite falls only to find out i was inches away from the precipice and there was no trail left, just stakes that someone had hammered into the granite. couldn't go up, had to crawl backwards and sideways on my hands and knees.
visited someone clandestinely and took a train back at 5 a.m. to get back to the station, i had to walk two miles on the shoulder of a 4-lane highway in the dark, with big-rigs swooshing past me going 45 mph or so.

There were apples all over the ground, and the bear just picked them up and started chucking them at my dad. He was freaking out and telling his wife and i to go find the forest rangers, call the national guard, all that %$%#$, but I just thought it was hilarious. (In retrospect, why [b]didn't[/b[ the bear play with me?) :lol:
that's hysterical!!!! jolly good game of catch!
Moving to another country without knowing anyone there.
What will you have for dinner?
probably perogies
do you believe in fate?
I used too, I'm not so sure anymore.
What's your favorite color? (I know- very original)
Either black or dark blue.
To the person below me: on average, do you use a cell phone or a home phone more often?
Probably home phone. No, cell phone. No - I'd say home phone. Cell phone. Argh. Home phone? :D
To the person below: Do you play a musical instrument?
A few, yes. I play best with stringed instruments, guitar, bass, mandolin and a little on cello, but I also play some piano (which a few could consider a strings instrument), percussion (mostly hand-percussion), trumpet, and harmonica.

To the person below me: what weather and outdoor temperature do you enjoy most, and why?
Hot,hot, hot! Caliente', caliente', caliente'!! Desert conditions, with a fresh water source (a clean lake, river). Why hot? I once lived for 3.5 years in a place where minus 45-55 degrees CELCIUS was the rule, not the exception, during long periods in the winters. This environment fundamentally changed me. I live in a desert like valley, where the sun is a major attraction, held in reverence. Cold is bad. Hot is good. Hot is godly, hot tends to encourage people to enjoy cool beverages, and clothing becomes much less ...................................concealing..... ..
