In things that I did not expect to actually happen…

For the first time in… ever, I’ve actually had more people from outside the United States viewing this blog than I have the alternative. I’m not quite sure what to think of that. I’ve gotten a few more spam comments which I haven’t allowed to pass through, too. They seem to be originating from the new locations to this.

I am glad that the Nutty Putty Cave was permanently closed up, though, so that no more spelunkers could access it and potentially get stuck in it in life-threatening ways like this man did (and, twenty-eight hours later, would actually die in).
