They say don't go on Wolverton Mountain
If you're looking for a wife
'Cause Clifton Clowers has a pretty young daughter
He's mighty handy with a gun and a knife
Her tender lips are sweeter than honey
And Wolverton Mountain protects her there
The bears and the birds tell Clifton Clowers
If a stranger should enter there
All of my dreams are on Wolverton Mountain
I want his daughter for my wife
I'll take my chances and climb that mountain
Though Clifton Clowers, he might take my life

Good morning, everyone! It's the start of another week, the second one of August. (This happens every year, by the way.) I have a cup of East India Company's "Assam" tea to wake me up, and a couple of Vietnamese Spring Rolls to perk up my pallet.

I never tire of this movie! In 2002 we were motorcycle touring in Switzerland, and I decided that "I" needed to climb the North face of the Eiger myself. So with my wife as witness, I, Stitchawl, did climb almost 2 meters up the face of that mountain. I felt no compulsion to try for the summit 3,968 meters further up. After all, it's the journey not the destination, right?

I commiserate with your pain! I have a severe allergy to spider bites, and they blow up like plums on me. Hurt like hell! I guess I'm lucky that they don't affect my breathing. I know that spiders eat other bugs, but as far as I'm concerned, the only good spider is a dead spider. Besides... they're ugly...
I think I need more tea...
