I picked up a Tony Hawk's Helmet Cam about a year ago with the idea
that it was cheap enough to risk breaking it in a cave or dropping it
in a pool of water. It has survived a handful of caving trips,
including a thorough beating against the sides of Robber Baron cave.
Here's one for $25:
I will have the following things at the Stricklands' pond party

Yes, Gill. Time to visit Austin school bus again and find a good used diesel

Your 20MPG Exploder is very good. Compare that to a certain caver's 13MPG Jeep!

The fact that the most recent hyper-spike in price has only curbed

No, the balance of time to be spent on family/work/caving is the

Many like to place the blame for the decrease in CAFE on the new big
SUV's, however one other reason is that as we increase the regulations
on emissions we decrease the efficiency of the engines. Compare the same
