Wow, you guys are serious! I'm gonna join up. We have to do something
about Mother Nature abusing the wilderness! Do you think we should
picket, or just lock the old Babe up?

Y'know, I'm thinking of those wildly massive avalanche fences that
festoon the mountain faces above so many villages in the Alps. Maybe
