Dinosaur ponders the theory of everything, ignoring his immediate need for oxygen.
Joel and I went cave spelunking today! Not really, that's an exaggeration. We actually took a guided tour of Colossal Cave in the Catalina Mountains. Apparently, making the cave accessible as a tourist attraction was one of the projects of the Civilian Conservation Corps. 350 men got paid $1 a day to carve steps, install hand rails, and set up a lighting system. The cave itself was pretty cool, but I was most struck by the CCC itself, which was a remarkably wonderful idea. So, kudos to Roosevelt.

I enjoyed your comment regarding Colossal Cave and the CCC - the CCC truly was a unique endeavor and it had an impact all over the U.S. It seems like an awfully hot time of year to visit the Tucson area - you're very brave. Me, I'm stuck here in Arizona!
