Might I make a suggestion to all participants: No planning or discussion of planning for a few days, either on the board or off. All pending questions and issues are easily resolved and can be dealt with when we all have cooler heads.

There is nothing that needs to be taken care of today (or tomorrow) and certainly not with this level of contention.

T: I'll not mess with the status quo. K&S can team up with whoever they wish to. I had just expressed a willingness if they chose to follow your suggestion.

Kevy's right, none of this is worth getting our shorts in a knot over

There are still a few "maybes" so I'm sure things are going to shift around a bit anyway. No need to stress about anything yet.

If we can't discuss things we may not see precisely eye-to-eye on without calling it contention, we shouldn't be in the same forest together.

I don't see what's wrong with suggesting things, having those suggestions disagreed with, counter-points made, tangent issues raised, etc. ... all without calling it an argument, or making personal attitude assumptions about the people discussing stuff.

Speaking of discussing stuff, I wonder why my team decided on Saturday breakfast without discussing it with me, particularly since we saw each other day before yesterday and discussed potential meals.

So, I unilaterally moved it to Friday breakfast ... because the breakfast plan we discussed involved things best prepared earlier in the schedule.

There ... I'm talking about meals. It's happy pappy fun. FOOD! Yay!

That was me. I understood since both of you don't cook and I might/ might not be there on Thurs and Friday is up in the air that Saturday would be the day. I understood that no one really cared what we did. We can do Friday but there is a slim chance I might not be there to cook it.

There's nothing to discuss. We've got dates, a place, and a wiki to plan teams and meals. Beyond that, you're on your own to enjoy the experience however you'd like. I will share what I know about things to do in the area and you can plan to do these things or not and that doesn't need to be decided until we get there - or, at least I'm not deciding on that until I get there.

Well, I'm going to have fun no matter who goes, where we are or who makes what for any meal.

And, as god as my witness, I will not be eaten by a mountain lion.

No, you won't. But, I can't guarantee you won't be mauled by a bear.

I think I should take this picture, cut it out and project the shadow in the side of GC's tent in the middle of the night. Thurston can probably muster some good grumbles for sound effects.

This could be fun!
