[PBSS] Abyss

2010-04-22 Thread J. LaRue Thomas

All.
I have received confirmation of our trip to Abyss the 22nd of May.

Two changes from our usual:

One-we have permission to camp near the cave

Two-we need to sign and send in a release _before_ we get there. TSA has a 
release on the website and if you are coming to Abyss but not to the May 
meeting you can print one, sign it and send it to me.


Remember, you need to have vertical gear and be vertically competent before 
you get to the cave.


We will need someone's rope longer than my 100 footer unless you also want 
to pass knots.


Contact me if you're going to be there. Jacqui

5 Mouth this weekend

2010-04-22 Thread J. LaRue Thomas

All,
First, apologies for duplicates as I sent to both lists plus the folks who 
are for sure on the dig list for this weekend. Apply delete button 
liberally...


We are on for this weekend. I was out at the cave yesterday and I would 
suggest you all bring clothing that can get muddy and maybe some spare stuff 
but it is definitely diggable.


I spoke with Doctor Fields and he will make sure we have the bobcat. We are 
welcome to arrive Friday night. Any attendee who needs to be reminded of the 
gate combo let me know. The bump gates are as they were.


If you are attending and are not on the following list please contact me. 
(I have heard from only one DIRT person. We could sure use you).


Diggers:

[Texascavers] Re: debate about Mexico travel safety

2010-04-22 Thread David
The Houston Chronicle released a database of 232 murders in Mexico that they
claim were of citizens of the U.S.A.

http://www.chron.com/databases/mexicomurders

If this list is accurate, and complete ( which I doubt it is ), it
seems worth pointing out that 95 percent of
the victims were Hispanic.   One of the 10 or so Anglos, was with a
hispanic that
was murdered.And one Anglo was killed in a barfight over a woman.

I am not making a racist comment, but only to point out that these
statistics show
an Anglo is relatively safe in Mexico.   I guess you could say the
same statement
about Asians, or Blacks or others.

It only goes back 7 years, but that may be to emphasize the recent
violence.

The only American caver I have ever heard of having been robbed, was by a taxi
driver or the transit police ( los pinches transitos ) in Mexico City
back in the 80's.

Hi Bill,

 

For those who might wish to look into this a little further, they might want to 
check out the following links:

 

http://www.nullapoena.de/stud/explorers.html
Lon Fuller’s original article.
 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Case_of_the_Speluncean_Explorers

I was fascinated just reading part of Fuller's original, so I think I'll run it

 Subject: [Texascavers] speluncean
 
 One of the less seen words derived from speleo, spelunk, etc. is 
 speluncean. The OED says it is rare and quotes one instance from 1803. 
 It is perhaps known best (if at all) for the famous article The Case 
 of the Speluncean Explorers in the Harvard Law Review in 1949, a 
 ficticious set of Supreme Court decisions. It was reprinted in 1998 as 
 part of a book by Peter Suber containing nine new opinions on the same 
 imaginary case. It is still in print. Not exactly a caving book, but 
 interesting insights into legal theories. Probably a student of the 
 Supreme Court in 1949 or 1998 would be able to identify which real 
 justices are parodied in each opinion in the book.--Mixon
