Wow. What a day. Well... congrats on making the hike safely. That's a big deal. Always so hard to face tragedy when it's so close. Yes, life is fragile. Precious.

Good for you for putting things into perspective with the trip to the museum. I haven't seen dinasour bones in a long time. And I always loved the mineral displays. Have you been to the Denver Museum? Amazing mineral displays there (from what I remember... it's been a while. Like, two decades.)
