Oh, never mind. I thought this was about Mick Jagger.

You beat me to it, I was going to suggest that some of the ancient Rock Art was promoting Jerry Garcia and the Grateful Dead.

Hee hee, Jerry Rocks!

“We’re going up the cliff face to do some lake monster spotting.” “Dress warm.”

I thought it would be more like, “We’re going up the cliff to watch the rock grunion running.” *Wear a smile and a fur*

Blam, that's the lowball age ~ 5000 years ~ I've seen 5000 BC (7000 years ago) as being the date of the newest stuff there, and the Russians give 7500 years for the contemporary art work over in Nikel Oblast.

It's not "contemporary" with the Egyptian work ~ which is much younger.

Thanks, blam! As you probably know, there is a very active rock art archeology community here in Texas — but the rock art is mostly in west Texas — a l-o-n-g way from where I live...

I'm reminded of a conversation I had with a Brit the other day. He was explaining to me that from the southern most tip to the most northern point that Britain was 610 miles long. I immediately thought of the milege sign at the Sabine River (Texas/Louisiana border) that says WELCOME TO TEXAS...El Paso, Texas 837 miles. I told him that it (The mileage across Britain) was about 3/4's of the way across Texas. LOL. I haven't hear any more from him.

Have to wonder: Which symbol was “Women’s” and which was “Men’s”?
