Hey Cavers!
Party time is upon us and here's another excuse to party!
Diana Tomchick is hosting (with the assistance of Stefan Creaser) a 65th
birthday party for Bill Steele on the evening of Friday Oct. 18th, the
location will be near the cook's area for the Saturday night dinner. The
party will start around 6 PM and we'll have a couple of BBQ grills going
with bratwurst and the fixin's, plus Shiner beer (the Beer of Texas
Cavers). There will be no charge for the food and beer, but we would like
to ask you to bring a dish to share if you can. There will also be a
birthday cake and I understand there will be entertainment (Bill can fill
you in on the details about that). Please drop by and wish Bill a happy
65th birthday!
The 2013 Texas Cavers' Reunion is October 17-20, and detailed info about
the event can be found at the following web site:

No, passes are only good when the parks are open and with the furlough, there
are no open parks open. I think they gave somebody a ticket for jogging in one
of the DC parks.

Does that pass supersede an idiotic closure of national park access?

Then you'd also have to convince them that you haven't heard any newscasts,
since that's all that's been on recently. Our local newscasts start every day
with "This is (whatever number) day of the government shutdown." Reminds me
(remember, I'm a really old person) of the News during the Iran Hostage period:
"This is day 132 of the Iran hostage crisis." Instead of calling this a
shutdown or furlough, they should call it the American public hostage crisis.

I don’t watch any American news programs, coz there’s usually not any “news” on
them.

Mark your calendars for a talk in conjunction with the the Lascaux exhibit
opening at the Houston Museum of Natural Sciences:
“Dark Cave, Bright Visions: Life & Art in Ice Age Europe”
Randall White, Ph.D., New York University
Tuesday, November 12, 6:30 p.m.
Learn about the art and interests of the people who lived in caves such as
Lascaux. Explore the social systems and the possible meanings of the symbols in
which the art was created. In what way does this magnificent art reveal the
worldview and life of the people of the Paleolithic era? This lecture is
cosponsored by the Archaeological Institute of America – Houston Society and
The Leakey Foundation.

We had a grotto outing to see this in the theater. If you missed it, especially
in 3D, here's another chance:
Film Screening: Cave of Forgotten Dreams
Tuesday, November 19, 6:30 p.m.
In 1994, scientists discovered a cave in the south of France perfectly
preserved for over 20,000 years and containing the earliest known human
paintings. Take a glimpse inside the Chauvet Cave in this spectacular 3D
documentary by Werner Herzog. Since this cave is not open to the public, the
film offers the only way to view this marvelous site.

Personally I wouldn't recommend watching it in 3D. Made it hard to watch. Also
stuff that's in the dark looks the same in 2D as it does in 3D.
