- Carlsbad Caverns National Park rangers call out ‘world changing’ impact of dropped Cheetos bag

“At the scale of human perspective, a spilled snack bag may seem trivial, but to the life of the cave it can be world changing,” the park said in its post about the garbage found off-trail in the Big Room. “The processed corn, softened by the humidity of the cave, formed the perfect environment to host microbial life and fungi. Cave crickets, mites, spiders and flies soon organize into a temporary food web, dispersing the nutrients to the surrounding cave and formations. Molds spread higher up the nearby surfaces, fruit, die and stink. And the cycle continues.”

- Part of my morning ritual is to visit Woot.com. When they first started, they had a great gimmick of only selling one item a day, and if they sold out, too bad. They have now expanded that to one item per day per several categories and then some. Yesterday, I saw a tire lock and had two thoughts. One, they are much less expensive than I would have thought. And two, while I don’t need one, surely I can find a need to justify a purchase.
