    hiya freinds lets talk light history!?

    About 20 years ago I went on a tour of Carlsbad Caverns. At one point the guides took us into an isolated side cavern about the size of a football stadium, sat us down and put all the lights off. It was really weird; absolute total darkness just isn't something that you experience very often...
