>Lake City may be the state's best-kept secret. It's off the beaten
>track, tucked away in the San Juan Mountains 55 miles southwest of
>Gunnison. Legendary cannibal Alferd Packer is an interesting part of
>the history. The courtroom where Packer was tried for murder in 1883 is
>still used today.

>The main obstacle to Colorado statehood was a dearth of people, a mere
>39,000 settlers in 1870. The railroad and the discovery of silver
>changed all that. By 1880, Colorado boasted more than 194,000 citizens.

>From: Craig A Fuller <[log in to unmask]> Military target sites in
>northwestern Arizona -- I think this will mainly be of interest to
>those of you in the Kingman area. I found it while looking around the
>USGS web site <http://geopubs.wr.usgs.gov/open-file/of00-355/>. It is
>an article on the recovery of desert vegetation in military target
>sites in the Mohave and Cerbat Mountains of northwestern Arizona. The
>target sites were cleared of vegetation during military exercises in
>1942-1943 and have not been subsequently disturbed.

>nationwide poll indicated that 76 percent of Americans believe the
>priority of the Park Service should be to protect plants, animals, and
>historical artifacts. Citizen emphasis on funding these goals runs
>counter to President Bush's plan to apply virtually all new funding to
>refurbishing park buildings and roads.

>http://www.eparks.org/media_center/analysis.asp Protection of the
>national parks requires that a substantial amount of the President's
>pledge be redirected from road building to wildlife. In short, less
>money for bricks and mortar and more for plants and animals.

>It is unconscionable for anyone to dig a grave and claim they are

>From: [A reader] <[log in to unmask]> I am firmly of the opinion that
>the Macintosh is Catholic and that DOS is Protestant. Indeed, the
>Macintosh is counterreformist and has been influenced by the methodical
>path of the Jesuits... It is catechistic: the essence of revelation is
>dealt with via simple formulae and sumptuous icons. Everyone has a
>right to salvation. DOS is Protestant, or even Calvinistic. It allows
>free interpretation of scripture, demands difficult personal decisions,
>imposes a subtle hermeneutics upon the user, and takes for granted the
>idea that all can reach salvation. [ATTRIBUTION: Umberto Eco (b. 1932),
>Italian semiologist, novelist. Excerpted from "La Busina di Minerva" in
>'Espresso (September 30, 1994); anonymously translated and posted on

>P.S.  What does that make Juno?
>
>EDITOR'S REPLY: Juno is of mixed faith -- probably born of parents one
>of whom was Jehova's Witness, and the other  Unitarian Universalist.
>Juno knocks on people's doors, but can't remember why.

>http://www.jsonline.com/news/metro/jul01/trim01073101a.asp An urban
>archaeological dig puts archaeology in close reach with amenities as
>communication and shelter, things that real archaeologists are
>sometimes forced to go without.

>http://www.charlotte.com/neighbors/meck/mcover0801.htm A group of UNC
>Charlotte anthropology students and their professor discovered the
>ruins of Robinson's old stone house, the setting for a sensational
>divorce case in the 1850s.

>33 homes -- there is but one reliable way.
