coming to the Americas

I think it's really amazing that they're able to use DNA and archaeology to work out the history of ancient peoples with fair confidence these days. The 10,000 year civilization that lived in Berengia during the last glacial period and then colonized the Americas in a relative twinkling is just amazing.

I'm pleased and happy to repeat the news that we have, in fact, caught and killed a large predator that supposedly injured some bathers. But, as you see, it's a beautiful day, the beaches are open and people are having a wonderful time.
