Who knew there were once rhinos, elephants and alligators roaming the plains of Nebraska? What about saber-toothed deer? (I didn't even know there was such a thing.) Ten million years ago anyway. Here's what happened: A volcano erupted, covered the ground with ash, and the animals basically suffocated. Sort of a mini Pompeii. However, most of it still remains in place, and it's actively being excavated. Very interesting!
I was not as impressed with the Corn Palace. I didn't realize they "rebuilt" it every year so this year's hadn't been completed yet. Not sure when they take it apart or how long it takes (forgot to ask too).
This is my third attempt to publish a comment....and I'm sure it has nothing to do with my computer savvy-ness! I was wondering about the logic of corn as a construction material...does it work better in compression or in tension?
