13 AUG 2016 my first backpack in the Sierra resulted in a helicopter ride out...40 years ago today! And in 1976, the 13th of August was a Friday...

Of course, I've returned to the Sierra high country once or twice since

	Karl Popper's "Paradox of Tolerance". If we tolerate intolerance, intolerance will flourish. In other words: if a society is tolerant without limit, its ability to be tolerant is eventually destroyed by the intolerant. Tolerating bigotry allows bigotry to spread. Exclusion isn't always a dirty word. Tell your local Nazi to F off today.
