"Stuff is eaten by dogs, broken by family and friends, sanded down by the wind, frozen by the mountains, lost by the prairie, burnt off by the sun, washed away by the rain. So you are left with dogs, family, friends, sun, rain, wind, prairie and mountains. What more do you want?" Federico Calboli

Footprints
Matt Mullenix sends news of some possible pre- Clovis footprints preserved in volcanic rock in Mexico. Most authorities are skeptical, but express openness to seeing the new evidence. Pre- Clovis Americans, if they existed, seem to have left little BUT footprints so far. Maybe Matt has the answer: "Hmmmmm. makes you wonder if the first large mammal species slaughtered into extinction by human immigrants from Asia was.....an earlier human immigrant from Asia".
