| Gosh... to Carolyn and the ladies at TSG, and hewee too... THANKS!!! B'day, errr... the New Year's Eve celebration was good! [FYI: I quit observing my b'day when I turned 32, just, ummm... three years ago, yea, that's it! so that I could focus on the greater party, and let the rest of the world raise a toast in my honor... unfortunately, the toast has been for the most part burnt when it comes out, but oh well... ] Seriously, thanks VERY much for the thread and posts within... way too cool!!! Make a fella feel special... We had a good dinner, saw some bands, had a few drinks, danced a bit, and saw some fireworks.  PS: Moonmist, not nice to tease a geologist about making beds rock...  cause I would then have to warn you to watch out for cleavage on your bedding...  And, no no no, that last sentence is not what you may have thought! Read below. However, as you said tho', unless you are a rock-hound, well, then I guess that "igneous is bliss"... And to bore yas w/ what its like to be of such a persuation, and I swear that none of these, well, ok, maybe just a couple of 'em may just fit me... maybe: You Might Be a Geologist If... 1. You own more pieces of quartz than underwear. hobbes has MANY pieces of quarts, gypsum, chalcopyrite, galena, etc... 2. Your rock collection weighs more than you do. ummm... yea. duh. what a silly statement! 3. Your rock garden is located inside your house ummm... one of 'em is... 4. You can pronounce the word "molybdenite" correctly on the first try. yeap, even when in a drunken stupor. 5. You don't think of "cleavage" the same way everyone else does. well, sometimes...  6. You have ever uttered the phrase "have you tried licking it" with no sexual connotations involved well, sometimes... I am also male... 7. You will try to claw through the water flowing in a stream to get a better look at the bedrock at the base of the channel. Well, it is one way to get a geologist to take a bath! 8. You think the primary function of road cuts is tourist attractions. uh... what else could they be for???  9. You find yourself compelled to examine individual rocks in driveway gravel. why not??? 10. You're planning on using a pick and shovel while you're on vacation. never leave home w/o 'em, and a rock hammer too. Indespensible! 11. Your internet home page has pictures of your rocks. well, not yet. 12. You will walk across eight lanes of freeway traffic to see if the outcrop on the other side of the highway is the same type of rock as the side you're parked on. And, let me tell you, that's not always true - there is many times a difference! 13. You have more pictures of rocks than you do of people (and the people are only in the pictures for scale!). Why else own a camera? 14. You can point out where Tsumeb is on a world globe. Cain't everyone??? 15. The baggage handlers at the airport know you by name and refuse to help with your luggage. Well,,, there has been times... but, FedEx, UPS, etc. make it much easier to ship the finds back directly. Or, have work pick up the tab when such is possible... 16. You have ever found yourself trying to explain to airport security that a rock hammer isn't really a weapon. Nope, maybe some strange looks, but never questioned. 17. You judge a restaurant by the type of decorative building stone they use rather than their food. This is too true... 18. You never throw away anything. For the most part, quite guilty. Pack rat I [and the woman!] be. Try two, yes two, tractor trailers, plus a van, blazer, and couple cars to move all "shtuff" from IN to AL...  19. You have ever taken a 22-passenger van over "roads" that were really intended only for cattle. Ummm, how about me borrowing mom's fairly new van for my vacation to the hills and hollers of KY to check out old mines and tailing piles [where the "waste" of a mine/mill is placed in piles], and then come back wondering why the steering is feeling tad loose, until realize that there is more than just a slight elevation difference between the front and the now saggin back of the van... must have been those mediocre factory shocks. I'm sure that there was a recall on those shocks. Wasn't there??? 20. You have a "Reunite Gondwanaland" bumper sticker on your vehicle. Yea? So? 21. You consider a "recent event" to be anything that has happened in the last hundred thousand years. Yeap. This is so. Geological [and cosmological] time rules all. 22. You refuse to let nightfall stop your field excursions and continue looking at the outcrops using the headlights of your field vehicle. Well, like there is some other reason why these luminescent devices are installed on these contraptions? 23. You have ever had to respond "yes" to the question, "What have you got in here, rocks?" Yeap, this is also so. Of course, I may then have to ask the lady to meet me behind the outcrop, since I'm a little boulder there.

NEVER ever would have imagined such... was gonna PM/email ya to thank ya, but instead will settle for a public thanking! Yes, thanking... not spanking... Seriously, thanks. Yea, was in such a place this past Thursday - three of us surveyed a newly found cave, was "virgin" until this past year when discovered via digging ~100' into the main passage. Look at your monitor. Now imagine squeezing ~25' sections through that, and then the balance through passage maybe 18"x36" [HxW]. Surveyed the middle section, I found a baby salamander, and a very small "fish" - or salamander w/o legs, ~3/4" long; won't be sure until contact the bio experts. Surveyed ~250' total, 6 hours underground. Was wonderful way to end the year! Thanks for the photo - yea, is that dark,,, and then some!
