By way of explanation, I had three stents placed in my right aorta Monday following a series of heart attacks which apparently began Memorial Day weekend when I was down in the Sulphur River attempting to document a blade cache site. I will likely not be around much for a little while until I recover some stamina.

Wow David. Sorry to hear that. I know you were complaining about nearly

passing out one day on the Sulphur, when it was really hot.

I'll hit a knee for you Bro.

God bless, and get better soon!

Good luck, Dave.

I know doctors are a pain in the ass but you have to listen to them!

Take it easy for a while David. We'll be rooting for you. Pay attention to the Doc.

Thanks to everyone for all the well wishes. I am gradually able to stay up and about for longer periods of time but I get exhausted and light headed quickly in this Texas heat. It doesn't look as if I will be doing any serious digging this summer but I am determined to recover to better than my former capacity. I had a 90% blockage in three places on the right and a couple of 40-60% blockages on the left which were not addressed though they did blow out a lot of gunk during the procedure. It's a miracle the buzzards aren't picking my bones down in the creek bottoms now judging from the condition I was in. Obviously, I was spared for another fate. Reflecting back, I had been involved in meddling with the ancient dead just prior to the worst of the attacks, first with the blade cache on the Sulphur and then digging in the mound just behind the house the Friday before the medevac Monday. Being a nonaligned mystic and somewhat of a superstitious bent, it did occur to me that maybe I'd been ignoring some serious signposts on several levels.

Definitely an interesting take on your incident, David.

Studying the dead and their ways, and at the same time almost dead

yourself...unknowingly.

I'm just glad you caught it in time bro.

You probably will feel better than before, with alot of the cloggage

removed. Should have a lot more energy before long.

I've met several people that have had heart incidents, that never worked

out before, who went on to run marathons regularly.


Bob and several others from the Dirt Brother's bunch have been out for

the last two weeks, and are coming back next week. I think their liking

what their seeing. We backed off the creek a couple hundred yards,

where I showed them an midden, with the geological elements apparently

very secure. They've been probing a bit at the 1.5'- 2' depth and running

into a bunch of Pedernales, Travis, Gower, Bulverde, and Nolans. The last

three are typed as Early Archaic: 6000-2500 B.C. Not bad for 1.5'- 2'

under the surface. Hopefully some Late Paleo pieces will pop up this

upcoming week.

Bob himself found 8 full points and a couple of full knifes yesterday,

consisting of Pedernales, Bulverde and Nolan technology. And then a

number of broken points and knifes of the same technology.

He had a big ol' smile on his face as we walked back to his truck.

Me too Very Happy .

Thanks for hooking me up with these guys David. Their well aquainted

with much of the TARL staff.

I appreciate all your help. Also with Virginia.

We've been e-mailing quite a bit (daily). She's taken a real interest in the

site, and thinks it may be possible to date many of the artifacts via diatom

dating.

Good to see you back up Bro.

I bet the hardest part is behind you. And like you said, it very possible to

turn out being in the best shape you've ever been in.

Peace Cool
