Re: [Texascavers] Labor Day at CCNP

Barbe, I haven't heard anything about this, do you still have openings? I helped with a rock haul this weekend at Carlsbad and it was a lot of fun. Looking forward to more Carlsbad :) Charles On Tue, Aug 25, 2009 at 10:28 PM, Charles Goldsmith wrote: > Yes, please keep me on your list, even as

Re: [Texascavers] the ant cave

I've seen statistics provided by "them" that say pound for pound, humans vs. ants, they outweigh us. As always, what "they" say is subject to further verification, but it's certainly thought provoking if true. That's quite a few ants. On Nov 15, 2009, at 1:21 PM, Mixon Bill wrote: Those a

[Texascavers] archiving your cave data

Don't spend extra money on "archival" CD-Rs or DVD-Rs. As I've pointed out before, _any_ such media, properly stored (which doesn't mean in sealed in dry nitrogen, just in a case, upright, like a book on a shelf, in normal indoor environment) will "outlast the technology," which means that

Re: [Texascavers] The ant cave

I'm not particularly concerned about the precariousness of the world ant population suffering on account of one interesting science experiment. That thing could be written off as a piece of natural art. There's no shortage of ants. --Ediger On Sat, Nov 14, 2009 at 10:37 PM, Denise P wrote: > To
