Interview the person beneath you

125 - 145 (I have a hyperactive metabolism, so my weight swings)

What do you do when your car is blocked in by a foot and a half of snow?
 
Wonder what happened to global warming, since I live in a place that shouldn't have 45 cm of snow.

What do you consider ideal winter weather?
 
Anywhere but here. :) Sure it sounds funny, but I live in Miami, and I am tired after over 10 years of living here. I would love actually to live in the part of New Jersey where my cousin lives. Beautiful rolling hills, change of seasons.....something not found here in Miami. Plus, I would be next to my state of birth, NY, which would make it nice to visit the old area. :)

Where was your place where you spent your childhood years?
 
Along the banks of the Hudson river in the heart of apple country. I really understand the rolling hills and season change. The ride up the Taconic Parkway in late May is one of the most breathtaking panoramas of greens I have ever seen, and that includes lots of scenes.

How many countries have you lived in?
 
[Wow, both nixgeek and pds chose about the same location. I have a summer place up in Columbia County so come visit.:)]

I grew up in da Bronx and have only lived in the US of A.

Got snow?
 
Only the kind that you would assume to find in Miami. :p

What is the current temperature where you live?
 
do these rocks count?


If you had a choice between love and money, which would you choose?

I am a graphic designer specialising in the outdoors industry and a designer of mountaineering books and several of my clients arrange expeditions to Everest. Did you know that the man himself did not pronounce his name "Ever-est" but "Eve-rest", so just about everyone thereafter has mis-pronounced the name of the mountain. Moreover, the arrogance of the British colonials in India is staggering – what was wrong with the Nepalese name for the mountain – Sagarmatha –*or the Tibetan name – Chomolungma? HELL YES! I wanna climb Everest!

Other than in an aircraft, what is the highest altitude you have ever attained?
 
I think it was the Eiffel tower. Quite poor, huh?

Where do you feel more safe: in a flat house or a skyscraper?
 
I guess it depends on where it's located. A flat house in the mountains is one thing - something else on the beach in Banda Aceh. A skyscraper in Chicago is one thing - lower Manhattan is another. ;) (but then, lightning doesn't strike twice in the same place, does it?)

Is feeling safe the same as being safe?
 
depends what unsafe looks like... ;)


what do you consider "unsafe"? (I think anyplace could be deemed unsafe in this day/age)
 
Johannesburg, for example.

Was the ANC naïve, after raising a generation of youngsters to protest against authority, to expect them all to settle down and be law-abiding citizens after the end of apartheid in South Africa?
 
My guess, and it's purely a guess, is: No, they were not naïve to expect rebellious youngsters to settle down. They didn't expect them to, but they have to try, don't they?

What's the most dangerous job you've ever done?
