On Mountains, Socks with Butter, and Getting XP for Killing XP

I’m running busy again, but not because of Minecraft addiction. Alas, my computer is currently on the fritz.

At least I can borrow a computer to post this.

It’s a lovely mountain in the dense cluster of mountains in the Olympic range in western Washington. It’s an interesting mountain range, much higher than most of the coastal mountains that are common along the west coast, high enough to have year-round snow and a rainforest on its flanks.

I’m not entirely certain why this particular range is so much higher than normal, but if it doesn’t have something to do with the two small tectonic plates just off shore (the Juan de Fuca and Gorda plates), I’d eat my socks. And I like my socks, but not with butter!

Ah well, time to wrap this up. I’ve got some corrupt system files to deal with in that most final of ways. We’ll see how fast I adjust going from Windows XP to Windows 8, but there’s no more thorough way to deal with bad files then wipe them from existence and replace them with new ones.
