Well for what it's not worth. I can see all the photos. My only question is who owns the copyrights, right?
On another front, I once encountered Tommy James (not Jesse or Frank) on the steps of the Student Union Building at UC Merced.
I offered to buy this camera if she would sign it. waiting to hear back.

And to answer the persistent rumor that RA has taken his self off to die in the boonies like some wounded coyote: it is totally bogus.
He said so in an email some time back around New Years.
He's just disgusted.
Happy Trails, Ron!!!!

Correction. Since there are no steps at The Lourve, it must have been on a cold dark night on the Spanish Stairs.

Hoots for steps ascended by millions of boots of Spanish leather.
Ole for the fog which never rises.Ding-a-ling for the bell which tolls for thee.

"Connaissez-vous les saints des derniers jours, woo-woo?"
"Que diriez-vous votre sœur ? At-elle entendu parler des saints des derniers jours, ooh-la-la?"
The late Mr. A. Bay Butler, it turned out later, was my brother-in-law Oly's cousin.
He died at an early age, despite his latter-day-ness.

"Who else could stretch a three minute song into a 12 minute masterpiece and rock it with this much conviction the whole way through, without ever letting things get boring? The reprise (9:09) is epic."
Indeed.

It’s estimated roughly 100 trillion microorganisms reside within our intestines, about 10 times more than the total number of human cells comprising our bodies.
So the buzz in SD is how UCSD has just landed the premier microbiome researcher, Rob Knight (not Bob Knight the chair chucker). He comes from Boulder CO. to UCSD because
"... UC San Diego really has a unique combination of high-perfomance computing, immunology, excellent clinical researchers and biobanks, natural products chemistry, metabolomics, and, recently, a gnotobiotic mouse facility (which allows tests of hypotheses about which microbes are important).
I bet they don't_got_ona_doz in Merced, or do they.

Vapor lines are cool, in the air or on the ground.
Yes, Ron, enjoy them dirty hippies!
You can probably smell 'em almost as well as Sally could, depending.

Seems to be some unusual stuff floating around on the Internet today.
New Delhi: The Aghoris are a Shaivite Hindu sect, mostly composed of ascetic sadhus.
They are, for instance, known to engage in post-mortem ritual.
They also often dwell in cremation grounds, have been witnessed smearing cremation ashes on their bodies, and have been known to use bones from human corpses for crafting skull bowls (which Shiva and other Hindu deities are often iconically depicted holding or using) and jewellery.
Aghoris have have their own style of worshipping which is very secretive.
They are very simple and intuitive.
They have fair expressions for everything and don’t have any feeling of discrimination in their minds.
Strangely they like eating rotten flesh of any being just like they enjoy any other cooked meal.
When they like someone, get happy with someone, they give them everything.

Super Dave Oz-born.
He does the Bandaloop routines free-solo and New Dawn is just a yawn.

neebee, I doubt that in the Caldecott's construction that there were problems of an atmospheric nature, such as "the bends." This malady involves increased nitrogen gas levels in the blood which need to be adjusted slowly back to surface pressure after the body has been at prolonged depths before "re-entry" into normal pressures.
Scuba divers need to "decompress" in a chamber which reduces pressure gradually when or if they cannot do it as they rise to the surface.
Sierra Ledge Rat, who is an experienced diver and a physician, would know most all there is about the procedure. I know of it only by having read two of Clive Cussler's books just this past couple of weeks.
The Caldecott's bores are probably a few hundred feet ABOVE sea level, you see.
"Sand hogs" are the tunnel workers who must go for most of their shift down below sea level in places like NYC and Boston. Although these don't seem like such great depths, the human body doesn't react at all well when exposed for nearly eight hours to depth pressures.
There are "sand hogs" on every golf course, too. Boomer, my dad, played a regular game of golf with three other fellows for decades on Wednesday, and he always cringed when paired with one of the three, because he just could not manage his game in sand traps and his scores showed this pattern. On the plus side, he could putt well, probably better than Boomer, truth be told.
