The strangest thing to me is the fact that the stone age in this particular neck of the woods was only eclipsed about 150 years ago. Imagine that. On June 25–26, 1876, Custer's 7th Cavalry was wiped out by people firmly grasping stone age weaponry very near here.
That's pretty weird. As I lounge in my recliner, gonculator in lap, only One Hundred and Fifty years ago, there was a Stone Age Civilization thriving on our ranch 10 miles west of here. The tee-pee rings are still there.
There is a comfortable rock less than 100 yards up the hill from the tee-pee rings where people were knapping arrowheads.... 150 years ago.
Last week I was forging a blade and milling platens only several hundred yards from that rock. I can see the rock from my shop. I was listening to Pandora on my cell phone...
