I imagine you all do not want me posting obituaries every day. So please look at the posting of such news as a way to honor our speleo-comrades, fellow hodag-hunters, troglodytes, etc.
Dale Lofland ( Ohio/West Virginia caver ) https://www.legacy.com/obituaries/dispatch/obituary.aspx?pid=190817131 On a totally different note, while surfing this topic, a bizarre name appeared in the search. It was a name I had not seen in 38 years. I thought that I would click on it out of curiosity, and to my surprise, my best friend in the 8th grade, had just passed way. He was 4 months older than me. I spent most of the night trying to contact my classmates and his family trying to offer some form of condolences. The best I could do was get it posted on a Facebook page for my high school, and I contacted a 3rd cousin of his on Facebook who had never met him. Only one classmate responded, saying, "yah, I remember him." Not caving related, but this past week I enjoyed watching the SpaceX launch, docking, and splashdown. I also watched Alan Eustace's documentary on his space jump. It is interesting to compare the differences in his space jump and the one before his that was more publicized. I am still tinkering with my Linux desktop distros. I have about 7 different ones running at the moment, mostly all developmental versions. My install of Fedora Rawhide just "borked" on me. Trying to reinstall it. This is a relief, compared to the stress going on at work right now. Had I not had some unexpected things happen this week, I might have been able to go on a road-trip for the first time in 6 months. If anybody in Houston wants to go on a 24 hour road-trip, Saturday night, send me a message. I finally have a real off-road spare-tire ( and new ) on my Sequoia, for the very first time.
