Wedding Bells

Had a great four days away from work.

My wife and I went down to Athens, Georgia in order to see my old friend, Cash Morris, get married to the love of his life, Jacki Macker.

I've known Cash since 7th grade. Fifteen years.

I was away from Athens for 7 years. It's hard not to love that town.

But now I'm back and decompressing. Long drive. I'll put pictures up at some point.

Polynesia and the Spread of Humanity


"
Polynesians made contact with the west coast of South America as much as a century before any Spanish conquistadors, her findings imply."

This could alter (yet again) the currently understood paradigm of human settlement.

What I find particularly awesome is that this new evidence lends some credence to Buckminster Fuller's notion in GRUNCH OF GIANTS:

"Landed at many North and South American coastal points from Alaska to Chile, these raft-landed Polynesians separated into many groups as they moved eastward over many routes to both North and South America, to become known as the American Indians."
