I stopped by the quickie mart today to get a cup of coffee and to see how Ali was doing since his nasty allergy attack yesterday morning. I don't generally check out the newspaper rack, but something absolutely stunning caught my eye on the front page of the Globe:
 


This is the stuff that that used to feed my imagination as a kid - great discoveries of a time long past preserved by a desert climate and river salts. We're told in Archaeology 101 courses that there will never be another discovery similar to Howard Carter's. One can always dream, though.

(I think that I was a fair bit more excited about this than Ali, by the way. It might have been the antihistamines the doctor's got him taking.)
