Frontier baby's grave may lie in tollway path
[...]

Hmmm...even sticky situations are big in Texas.

I'm suspecting some scientist will get hold of the remains and "prove"
the individual to have been dead 15,000 years.

Mr. Van: Just a friendly suggestion... When responding to a post with
a huge amount of text, you may want to "snip" out that text which does
not need to be included with your post. Note how one has to scroll all
the way down to the bottom to read your two sentence response. Some
folks wouldn't even bother, even if your response was a well thought-
out reply!

Note how I essentially clipped out all but the article's title and
URL. You can use the "[...]" notation, as I did, to indicate there
has been some snippage. There are other ways, such as "[snip]", to
show there was additional text in the original message. Readers can
always go back to the original post to see that text, if they so
desire.

Later,
Chris
