[Texascavers] Thanks for the hot tub
I'd like to say a BIG thanks to Pete for the hot tub and sauna. I helped a little this year and realize just how much work it is to set up and tear down the whole thing And where the cooks have a base group with others coming and going over the years, Pete does the whole thing year after year! Again, Thanks Pete John

Re: [Texascavers] A warning from the future
I believe you are right that it is the Mayan calendar that ends Dec 21, 2012. It DOES NOT however predict the end of the world, but simply the end of a time or era. That calendar has 13,000 year cycle or times and the above date is simply the end of the most recent era. Since this was either cycle 4 or 5 there is nothing in the calendar that excludes that 22 Dec 2012 is just being the beginning of a new era.

I spent 2 years in South Korea while in the army and there routine things on the menu were dogs, cats and field rats.

When we were caving in rural China in 1993 and living off local rations, the cook finally came up with some really good meat. Consistantly the best we had all month. Turned out to be dog. Then we noticed in the vilages that kids and puppies were frolicking around, as do kids and puppies everywhere. There was a lack of full-grown dogs, except that most families kept a well-cared bitch as a family friend and breeding stock. That observation is non-judgemental. To keep the record straight, I love dogs and have had them most of my adult life. You more mature cavers certainly remember Crooked Thumb and Woola.
