Actually, I'm not an archaeologist; my wife is.  Often when she's               
working on a site and I go out and visit, I worry about                         
accidentaly trampling an artifact.  So far I haven't, but there's               
always next time.

Waiting for my daughter to come back from the piano lesson,                     
a big woodpecker came in front of me.  Checking and peckeing                    
a tree with dry rough sound, I could not start the engine                       
even after she came back into the car.  We simply watched                       
him for a long time quietly.

After a week of very hot days, very chilly days and nights                      
came back.  All the plants and pots have to be placed inside                    
of the house, quickly.
