backpacking

1) i wanted to hear about the 3 wk hike on the John Muir trail

2) just back from 3 days of backpacking in WV mountains.

WV is really pretty. it may not have really tall mountains, but there is an amazing beauty of seeing many miles of shorter ones as far as the eye can see.

we hiked to the state high point, Spruce Knob (3800 ft).

My rebuttal to an Inside Higher Education op-ed in favor of allowing racist students to be admitted to college and universities.

Dana Stubblefield finally convicted of rape, five years after the woman first reported it. Faces 15 to life in prison.

"A Santa Clara County jury on Monday found former 49ers player Dana Stubblefield guilty of rape, after prosecutors said he he lured a developmentally disabled woman to his Morgan Hill home on the promise of a babysitting job.

Stubblefield, 49, faces 15-years to life in prison. He played for the San Francisco 49ers, Washington, and the Oakland Raiders.

The verdict comes after a nine-month trial, and five years after the victim initially reported the April 2015 sexual assault to police. The jury ultimately found Stubblefield guilty of rape by force, oral copulation by force and false imprisonment, and not guilty of the rape of a person incapable of giving consent.

The jury also found that Stubblefield used a gun during the assault, prosecutors said."
