The 3rd TransKarst Symposium will be held in Bohol next month where the clams 
are found. I'll see if I can find more information. Neat stuff!

Hi Penny and others!

Here’s a short (2 min) yet very informative video from the researchers at 
Northeastern Uni who discovered and are studying this limestone-eating clam.

Fun to see them split a rock and retrieve one!

[Texascavers] Houston related

2019-08-09 Thread David

Is anybody in the Houston area going to the Texas Speleological Center (
the TSC ) tomorrow, Saturday, the 10th ?

I am planning to attend the celebration of life to be held there.


Disclaimer:

My only drama going on, outside of my normal drama,  is that I met a
strange person on Craigslist yesterday, that claims they are going to let
me move into their apartment tonight.So over the next several days, I
am hoping to resolve my drama related to moving some of my stuff out of my
rental storage unit and into that person's apartment.

Other than that, I have no excuse for not attending.
