They give it a lift, put in some skid plates, a big bumper with

My sister works in HR for NASA, at Marshall Space Flight Center in
Huntsville, AL. Debbie said NASA, as an agency, is looking for

Now that's the real center of the caving universe. Home to the NSS,
strong grotto, 10,000 caves within a few hours of the place, and you can
actually be a real rocket scientist. How cool is that.

Here is a $ 370 LED flashlight:

I think its greatest feature is durability.
It does not look waterproof or even water resistant.
I am certain this would not be a good caving light, as mud or grit
can get into it.
However it is small,
Most of us have now seen the flying humans on the internet

That feat is going to happen very soon. One of the top flying

It is my opinion that there is just a ton of stuff to talk about.
I would like to see people post interesting things.
For example,
the 2008 Toyota Landcruiser has a feature that no other car has.
It is called Electronic Crawl Control.
When going off-roading, you can drive 3 very slow
Thanks, Katie.
That confirms the story that I heard when we visited the cave in October 2005.
It is pertinent because we are taking a group back there in September.
Thanks for tracking this down.

David, it's just as well you didn't! This appears to be a Swingers' club with
cave-motif interior decoration.

I don't know about that Roger -
I think it could provide information far more interesting than flashlights
and LEDs.

a little tedious - this could be a fair reprieve!

For centuries or longer, consumers purchased goods made by
slavery. Even here in the states, our economy benefited from
this for over 300 years.
Now we by our goods from China. These goods are made in
sweat shops by young and old people with little concern for their
safety or well-being.
Agreed David, but it can't be helped, I'm guessing here, but at least
98% of everything you consume comes from that labor somehow. Maybe
indirectly, but it does. Maybe the car you drive was made here in the
US, but was all parts of it? And the machines to make those parts,
were they made here

Although you signed me up for the OT site I'm not sure that I understand
