What strikes me most significantly is how people who've never been poor,
disabled or otherwise challenged can make such broad, sweeping,
self-satisfying judgment calls about such things they know nothing about.
It seems that so many people that call themselves Christian have no

Probably the greater District of Columbia area, which is in fact one solid
mass of humanity, very densely caver-packed. You did say Austin area,
so DC should be comparable... ;^D
You get points for rooting for the home team, though.

The one I designed has a vapor barrier (ref thick plastic) so that no

Hey guys -- SFA is my alma mater. Over the 17 years from 1971 to 1988,
migrating from Forestry to Geology to Spanish to English, I managed to get
myself a degree there, along with lots of other adventures. I'll be trying
to get in touch with them.

Dick Blenz once entertained the idea of building a house in the
Volcano Room in Buckners Cave, near Bloomington, Indiana. Up there is
makes some sense. While the cave humidity is the usual very high, the
cave temperature is about 56 F, so that when the modest amount of
heating is applied,
In addition to Mixon's criticisms, there is always the issue of alpha
radiation. All earth material tends to have some alpha radiation
emitters (often more simply and misleadingly called radon). The more
surfaces one has that are earth material (dirt, limestone, concrete), the
more fresh air
When I worked at Carlsbad Caverns NP, we were constantly monitored for our
radon exposure. Each crew worked in a progressively deeper part of the caverns,
then had to work on the surface for a period of time. Also our cave tech, Kay
Rohde, came through several times a day with her little air
