A closer look at the Mesa Verde dwellings



2024-05-13 - Mesa Verde National Park - Photo by Robert Ellis, Robert Ellis Woodworking.
A closer look at the Mesa Verde cliff dwellings. For more than 700 years, a civilization lived and flourished here, eventually building elaborate stone communities in the sheltered alcoves of the canyon walls. Then, in the late A.D. 1200s, in the span of a generation or two, they left their homes and moved away. Mesa Verde National Park preserves a spectacular reminder of this ancient culture.

The Whitehurst Diaries: April Retrospective

By Sharon Whitehurst

Whan that April with his showres soote
The droughte of March hath perced to the root


The first phrase of the Prologue to The Canterbury Tales has stuck in my ragbag mind, though I recall little more of that English 12 assignment.

I've marveled through the years at the phrases that have taken up lodging in my mind, words that swirl and surface when least expected: disconnected bits from English literature; a verse from an old hymn; the annoying repetition of a song blaring from a radio; sonorous phrases from the King James Bible.

Keep that water handy for replacing fluids

During a day of normal activity, the body needs about two quarts of liquid to replace lost body fluids. About 48 ounces should come from drinking water and other hydrating beverages. The remainder, about two cups, comes from solid foods.

When exercising, 1/2 to 1 quart of fluids per hour is required to replace fluid lost from sweat during moderate physical activity. In addition, it's important to drink water before starting non-exercise outdoor activities, such as gardening.
