quote KevinL: "

Same portage in June!

Joy is a great teacher, but so is dispair. Wonder is a great teacher, but so is confusion. Hope is a great teacher, but so is disillusionment. And life is a great teacher, but so is death. To deny yourself any of those in any aspect is not experiencing life totally.

Yup. It was waist high in the middle in July '14. Here's a post-crossing view from the other end. (not for contest)
