    Two thousand years from now, an archaeologist digs up a fat guy in sandals wearing shorts and a "KISS THE COOK" T-shirt.

    I believe I once read somewhere (John McPhee's Control of Nature?) that if the mid-tectonic-plate volcano ever lets loose in Yellowstone that it would be roughly the equivalent of detonating all the American nuclear weapons there at the same time.

    Happy New Year, all!

    This guy says what's happened is normal. (yes, it's Kos, but it's not political and he too doesn't blame W, and the guy has a PHD in geochemistry, whatever that is).

    So was the last eruption 70,000 years ago or 640,000 years ago?

    A bear placidly taking a dump...a solitary cross-country skier...a tour bus from Salt Lake City...people milling around in the lobby of the Inn...young park service staffers fornicating...a Texas church group on a guided hike...the possibilities for tableau are endless. I wonder if archaeologists of the future would conclude from Yellowstone that we were a socialist society based on outdoor recreation. Boy, would they ever be wrong.
