Tres -- You said:

I used to laugh at that bumper sticker that says "He who dies with the most
toys wins."

But when I thought it through, I decided that that guy wasn't the true
winner at all. The true winner is the *boyfriend of the widow* of the guy
who dies. The boyfriend gets to play with everything (if you know what I
mean) -- and didn't have to pay for any of it! Cool.

Actually, you haven't lost anything. WKPP's work has a firm, honored place
in the history books. And will certainly continue to write history. So will
others.

Besides, cave diving is not ice-hockey. I consider every cave diver who
keeps his/her entry-&-exit ratio at one-to-one a winner.

Best of all, everyone wins when more is discovered about our aquifers.

Get those cremasters to relax a bit, Tres -- you'll enjoy life more.

Life is short -- this is not a rehearsal.
