Saturday, July 12, 2003Well, let's see. I went to a couple of places yesterday, one being the Meadowcroft rock shelter. My beloved friends B&J are (graduated but continuing) students of anthropology, so it was particularly important for them to get to go. It was actually fascinating...it's the oldest continually lived in spot in North America, and some of the artifacts discovered there are old enough to disprove the Clovis first people theory. (You know, the theory that during the ice age 12,000 years ago people crossed over an ice and land bridge into N. America.) So, usually you can't go into the dig itself...you get to stand beghind a sheet of plexi glass and look at a monitor, but since the camera broke we were able to actually go on a platform above the dig. I was quite content, looking at the small round dig tags. Then we went to see Pirates of the Carrabean. I thought it was an awful lot of fun. The effects were fabulous, and Johnny Depp made a really fun and interesting Captain Jack Sparrow. Since this is the second movie I've gone out to see in many years, it's a definate life event. (the other was Matrix Reloaded.) Oh, it's thundering out. This means my connection will soon be failing. Permalink Cindy scribed this at 2:15 PM 0 comments |
