Re: [NMCAVER] [SandiaGrotto] Lava River Cave graffiti removal
Actually, the first part of the article states that it was a cave. The last sentence reads that it was the "site of a lava tube", thus implying that it isn't there anymore. If so, then the graffiti isn't real either, also implying that the author is delusional. An extrapolation of this is that he is really standing in a Wal-Mart parking lot having some sort of nervous breakdown...OR, that he really needs grammar and spell check on his computer. I'd go with the nervous breakdown. It's more interesting and sounds better. Carl. On Sep 18, 2010, at 10:42 AM, Lee H.
