Socialism results from the spectre of blood in the streets. Back then, they didn't even *have* streets.

Doesn’t God say in Genesis, “Let us take this matter unorganized...”? I haven’t read the Old Testament in a year, and I’ve slept since then, so I forget.

That tells me that not everything was put together in its pristine form at the same time.

“Not to complicate things, but there are at least five massive meteor strikes which play major roles in floods (plural). The last that we can be fairly sure of....was around 12,900 years ago.”

Out towards the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay it was a meteor strike that started the process of the Bay. I know this because I have been to several museums locally that have exhibits about it plus the contouring of the land around where I live in not too far from the strike is the area called the ejecta from the strike. Sandy Hills that were built up because of the meteor that created these large furrows and hillocks not too far away from the bay itself.

On Dinosaur Ridge just outside Denver, you can see parts of the ancient seashore. Apparently, when Mr. Dino asked Mrs. Dino where to go on vacay, she often chose the beach.

I thinking what if there were two bright lights? The Mexican and the Indian, Shiva, one.

It would explain many things.

No terrestrial animal larger than a house cat survived the K-T event. I believe that all the survivors either lived in burrows, or buried their eggs.

This is a habitat largely insulated them from the heat of surface fires, and accustomed them to depleted oxygen environments. Both would be expected results from a global flash fire.

My daughter lives in Longmont, so I’ll ask her to go take pics. When they dig out from under this latest blizzard.

If your daughter has kids, Dinosaur Ridge is very kid friendly.

Not the really short-person kids. She just became a grandma to her 5th. The boys are outnumbered. ;o] I’ll let her know, though, in case the kids want to come and visit and bring their own kids. Thanks!
