Son of Death ride cancelled ? Postponed ?

Because they double their registrations, the park service wouldn't issue a
park permit for the event. It didn't have time to make an environmental
study, on what effect that many cyclists would have on the park. These mass
rides must end, it's destroying the environment

Don't tell me you're working on creating wildlife habitat that is
off-limits to humans.

Think of the poor endangered snakes. Someone saw one once, somewhere, with a
tire track over it.

Environmental impact study:

- More people to potentially urinate on the side of the road. Compell
organizers to order more porta potties (2x the number of last year)

- More trash thrown onto side of road. Compell organizers to remove all
trash. Double trash removal efforts.

- Forbid cyclists from using endangered spotted owls as chain cleaners.

Impact study complete.

Whats wrong with a bit of urine anyway ? Don't bears and stuff pee ?
Admittedly this doesn't apply to LiveDrunk(tm) members whose urine would
constitute a grave environmental risk.

Oh, no! I just rode this route, east to west (not out-and-back),
during a ride from Bishop to Kernville 3 weeks ago, and I urinated
on the side of the road in the park.

I feel terrible.....

If it's any comfort to you, my digital camera also has a fault which
causes a fuzzy grey area in the centre of shots. It annoys the hell out
of me, to the extent that I'm going to scrap the camera.... but other
people just don't see it. It's in the pic on this page:

do you see it?

I wouldn't have noticed the flaw on your pictures if you hadn't pointed
it out. Glorious scenery, great pictures. Thanks.

That picture has been res'ed down so far and has so many pixellated
artifacts all around, it's hard to tell ...

Nope. Is it shadow-shaped or boy-shaped?

Try cleaning your lens a few times. I had a soft focus Vaseline zone on
mine, but now it's all better.
