I have been in several wet squeezes. Klar's Ranch Salamander Cave ( # 1 or # 2 ?? ) Eriks River Cave in Indiana, and Lamplighter's Cave in Indiana. I have been stuck momentarily in some dry squeezes The One-Legged-Man Passage in Airman's ( long legs ), and The Corkscrew in Midnight Cave in Carta Valley ( only because I was fat ) I think any other tight spots that I encountered ( in the late 80's ) where only because I was 6 feet tall and had broad shoulders and was over-weight. D.L. I have a question for you. Imagine yourself as self-employed and all alone operating some sort of business - as your only source of income ( no other money coming in ). How much money, would you realistically expect to profit per day after subtracting expenses and taxes ? I don't see how anybody can do it. I worked my tail off today, and while I may eventually someday get paid $ 100 for that work, I had $ 50 in gas expenses, and overhead related to an office, fax machine, internet, cell-phone, car repairs, taxes. ( One can write off just about everything though, so when it is all said and done, there is not enough taxable income to even pay for social security ) But you got to figure in the dead-days, or in my case dead-weeks. I do pay my fair share of taxes, as I eat out 14 meals per week, and stay in motels, and buy lots and lots of gas. For the past 21 years, about 10 % of my income probably went to sales taxes. _______________________________________________ Texascavers mailing list | http://texascavers.com Texascavers@texascavers.com<mailto:Texascavers@texascavers.com> | Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/texascavers@texascavers.com/ http://lists.texascavers.com/listinfo/texascavers
