Last Climb to the Top

|

Finally made it !! Actually, despite being a steep scramble up many parts, it's only 1.4 miles from the parking lot, and only 1,300 feet. It's a real nice hike.

var hoisting

|

Been educating me self about modern Javascript. It has some werid shit like var hoisting. Pretty sure that’s a bug that somehow became a quote unquote feature, lol.

In Javascript you can legally define a function scoped variable anywhere in the function including in an if statement or after using a variable.

Is homosexuality unnatural? 👨🏻‍❤️‍💋‍👨🏼

|

Ask that question to a hunter or a farm kid and you’re bound to get some giggles. Bulling – cows mounting cows is hardly an unknown thing or even a buck in rut mounting another buck is hardly an unknown behavior.

Clearly in the animal kingdom sexual activity – often rooted in rituals about dominance is hardly an unknown behavior. But it’s also clearly sexual in nature involving testosterone and estrogen – and the sex organs, even if it’s not about bearing off-spring.

Sex can be problematic, especially if it’s casual and with multiple partners due to the close contact and exchange of bodily fluids it involves. There are good reasons besides accidental reproduction of life to be concerned with sex outside of the desire to create children. Sexually transmitted diseases are real and can have life long consequences. But I don’t think the evidence points to homosexuality as being unnatural.

Parking Area

For those who want to walk all the way to Remsen Falls, Bear Lake, or the 5.2 miles to Woodhull Lake. Honestly though, at least in the summer, the truck trail is well surfaced and gravel covered, and most vehicles should be able to make it back there, despite DEC warnings, suggesting "High Clearance Vehicles" only.
