I've been thinking of you, Lucinda. Is school out yet? We recently
watched a program on a digital Discovery channel about early population of
parts of Brazil and the southern tip (name escapes me at the
moment). French archaeologists were claiming that descendants of
Australian aborigines settled Brazil 12 to 15,000 years ago IIRC (anyway,
it was earlier than the usual 11,000 years that I've read), having crossed
the Pacific Ocean then,not being content to be on solid ground, hiked
across the northern tip of South America to settle in the Amazon
basin. Then they migrated southward, serving as the Tierra del Fuegan
"Indians." I sat there, turned to Chuck and said "this is bullshit. I'm
changing channels." Are these French archaeologists (female) as whacko as
I think, or is it me? Margaret L
