Re: [Texascavers] a new cave rescue story
interesting read. My only experiences with people panicking at tight spots that they had previously negotiated, was that the very fear seemed to make them swell up and ‘not believe’ they could go forward. It seemed that all my energy went toward getting them to relax enough to go thru. Laughter helped. Its interesting to watch someone who clearly is physically capable become large/clumsy/paralyzed with fear. And the obverse - the ‘oversized’ caver who slithers through a tight spot easily because they know they can.

[Texascavers] Flying to NSS Convention ??
I procrastinated and the airline ticket prices jumped $ 60. I doubt I will be flying.

[Texascavers] a funny story
My estranged-wife hired a day-laborer today to clean out "our" garage and did not tell me. She threw away my very first real caving pack that had a TSA patch sewn to it. She threw away what may be the only know copies of A.S.S. Newsletters from 1987. My old Wheat-lamp from the 1987 era. Several NSS magazines. The worse damage was my rare family photos which should have never ended up in the garage to begin with, and my old hard-drives that have all my old digital personal memories and probably caving memories. Plus, two electric twinkle-headlamps from the 90s. And my toolbox with $ 100 of tools. And lots of stuff that some really poor person might want, like my LP album of "The Rubberband Man." But Oztotl came to the rescue. And I managed to dig those items out of the garbage on the street curb. I ran out of time and energy and may not have got everything. I thought I had moved everything to my rental storage unit, except for my 2006 Suzuki Bergman 650 scooter and my 1999 Camry. Someday when I am in a better frame of mind, I will put the details of the entire story in a blog but it won't be a pretty story. You can not imagine the peace of mind I get living in a motel. I can offer anyone a wonderful hot-shower if they are passing by, and a nice spot on the floor to sleep.
