Peak Oil

**Happy Holidays Weekend Hikers!** 🎄 We've got one last hike for you on the weekend before the year ends to finish 2025 strong! This is not just a walk; it’s an adventure. We are taking on one of Hong Kong’s most dramatic ridge lines, the Middle Dog’s Teeth (Middle Kau Nga Ling). **\*\*Expect breathtaking open vistas, thrilling scrambles, and the satisfaction of standing on Hong Kong's second-highest summit before descending for a celebratory meal at Tung Chung. 🎉🍜🍱** **📊 Hike Stats & Rating** \* Route: Shek Pik Reservoir → Central Dog’s Teeth → Lantau Peak → Pak Kung Au \* Total Distance: \~8.5 km \* Elevation Gain: \~850m+ (Significant climbing) \* Hiking Duration: \~4.5 hours of moving time. \* Total Event Duration: \~6 to 6.5 hours (Factoring in rest, water breaks, photo stops, and the steep scrambling pace). \* Difficulty Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ (4/5 - Hard/Strenuous) \* Why? This trail involves scrambling with hands, exposure to heights, and steep stone steps. It requires a good fitness level. *Detailed Itinerary will be provided once you confirmed by joining the hosts whatsapp group.* 🛡️ **Safety & Gear Guidelines** This is an advanced trail. To keep the vibes positive, we must prioritize safety. **🥾 Essential Gear:** **\*\*Footwear: Strictly Hiking Boots/Shoes with good grip. Running shoes are slippery on the gravel/sand of the Dog’s Teeth.** **\*\*Gloves: Highly recommended. You will be using your hands to scramble over rocks on the ridge.** **\*Water: Minimum 2.0L - 2.5L per person. There are no refill points until the end.** **Clothing: Layers. It will be windy and cold at the peak (934m) in December, but you will sweat on the way up. Bring a windbreaker.** **Sun Protection: Hat and sunscreen (The ridge is 100% exposed with zero shade).** **⚠️ Safety Rules:** **\*\*No Solo Wandering: We stick together, especially on the ridge.** **\*Pass with Care: If someone is faster, let them pass at a safe, flat spot.** **\*Know Your Limits: If you have a fear of heights (acrophobia), this route may be overwhelming.** **\*Leave No Trace: We take our trash (and positive vibes) with us; we leave only footprints.** 🙋‍♂️ About our host: *Raj is a Hong Kong hiking enthusiast with deep local trail experience.*

The topic for January is "Chemistry" Speak Easy: true stories, told live. The idea is simple: an audience, an open microphone, and great stories. Hilarious, gripping, poignant- it's up to you. Audiences are invited to come to listen or come to tell as folks from all corners of Columbus offer their stories live on stage! Held at Wild Goose Creative's warm, intimate space, this night of tales occurs on the 3rd Thursday of every month. Doors open at 7:00 pm, show starts at 7:30 pm. Please arrive early if you want to tell, as we generally only have room for a limited number of tellers, and the sign-up sheet has a tendency to fill up fast. Formed around the idea that people need stories--they're what hold and draw us together--SpeakEasy celebrates the strangeness and commonness of being human. And in a world of smartphones, Facebook, Twitter, and more . . . it gives people a real, breathing, in-person way to connect. The night is geared for true stories of all kinds, taking the best tales told around kitchen tables, in darkened pubs, on the street corner, and at late-night parties and giving them an audience. Speak Easy is also a great outlet for performers, writers, and artists looking to share their favorite stories and perfect their skills. We strongly encourage tellers to please tell the story rather than read it so we keep within the spirit of good storytelling and stay engaged with the audience. All are welcome. Hang around after the show for a drink and build community!

Our January program is privileged to have Kristen Tregar as our speaker. Ms. Tregar is the co-author with John de Lancie (the actor who portrayed the character Q on Star Trek next generation) of a radio play depicting the events surrounding the Kitzmiller v. Dover Area School District trial. The trial decided the issue of some of the Dover school district board members attempting to insert creationism disguised as "intelligent design" into the 9th grade biology curriculum. She will discuss the trial and the process of writing the play. (Bob Leonhard has seen the play and it is riveting and tense). Ms. Tregar's bio is below: Kristen Tregar is a dramaturg, director, playwright, and theatre teacher. She earned her Ph.D. in Drama and Theatre from the UC San Diego and UC Irvine joint program. In addition, she has a MS in Forensic Science from City University of New York- John Jay College of Criminal Justice and a MA in Educational Theatre from New York University- Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development. In 2013, in collaboration with Irish colleagues, she founded *The Ireland Project*, an intercontinental devised theatre work with high school students in New York and Tallaght, Ireland. Her original short story "Far From Here" was recently published in *Stay Awhile Longer: More Scenes From Temecula Valley*. She has two rescued dogs (Kira and Harry) and she rides, competes, and foxhunts with her horses, Andromache and Baker Street Irregular. Food and drinks will be provided at the event. Feel free to show up a little bit early to hang out and talk. Going forward our meetings will be hybrid. You can meet us in-person or attend online Join Zoom Meeting [https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87836564953?pwd=4Mi57ElZkDIFlb1fnlNwOJ0NiOK4tP.1](https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87836564953?pwd=4Mi57ElZkDIFlb1fnlNwOJ0NiOK4tP.1) Meeting ID: 878 3656 4953 Passcode: 760812 One tap mobile +19292056099,,87836564953#,,,,\*760812# US (New York) +13017158592,,87836564953#,,,,\*760812# US (Washington DC) The formal presentation will start at noon

Let's grab some coffee/food and share a morning chat! The East Market has an ample parking lot and outdoor and indoor seating.

If the weather cooperates we will be meeting in the patio. Per what this group is about: "Everyone is welcome!

Join us as we kick the New Year with a fun Happy Hour and your choice of two fun, new films! Option 1 is the biographical-musical-docu-drama, SONG SUNG BLUE, which stars Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson in the story about a real-life couple and Neil Diamond Tribute Duo. Option 2 is the comedy-action-adventure ACACONDA, which stars Jack Black and Paul Rudd as part of a group of friends remaking a favorite movie from their youth. Here’s a complete description, trailer and our plan for this event: SONG SUNG BLUE: The film follows Lightning and Thunder, a Milwaukee husband and wife Neil Diamond tribute act, who experience success and heartbreak in their musical journey together. Not a tribute to Neil Diamond, but a tribute to a Neil Diamond Tribute Band! The film is based on the 2008 documentary of the same name and is directed by Craig Brewer. It stars Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson, along with Michael Imperioli, Ella Anderson, King Princess, Mustafa Shakir, Hudson Hensley, Fisher Stevens and Jim Belushi. Critics call the film, “a crowd-pleaser with a ton of heart!” TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GCM0Ztp3o1o ANACONDA: In this action-thriller-comedy-adventure, a group of friends going through a mid-life crisis head to the jungle to remake a favorite movie from their youth but encounter “unexpected events.” The film is directed by Tom Gormican and stars Jack Black, Paul Rudd, Selton Mello, Daniela Melchior, Thandiwe Newton and Steve Zahn. The film is a reimagining of the 1997 original. TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TMsFsfrPNaw PLAN: We’ll kick off the event with a pre-show Happy Hour at nearby Bravo! We’ll confirm the details and exact meeting time once we get the showtimes, but planning for 5 to 5:30pm for the Happy Hour and a 7pm-ish showing of both films. For the movies, we’ll meet inside the lobby area about 20 minutes before showtimes! Once showtimes are announced, advance ticket purchase is advised. Once you have yours, please list your Movie of Choice and seat number in the Comments below. Complete details will be confirmed and announced as the date gets closer. Look forward to seeing you there, Dan
