Bedrock & Paradox

Courtesy of Dan Ransom. Just padding the post count on a slow day…….. Addendum: Check this out and sent a letter! I haven’t had a chance to look myself, thoughts next week.

Glacier surfing. Interesting. I’ve had several conversations, with friends and family as well as students (tangentially), about the peculiar extent of leisure activities in our modern lives. For most of us, with so much time and income beyond the basic, we have to find something to keep us from spending it all on cheese and…

This will mean the beginning of the end on Saturday. Yea.

Very interesting, impressive stuff.
