Should've happened a while ago, but I'm saying goodbye now to this burning train being driven headlong into oblivion by a world-destroying, wannabe-fascist little man-child. Come join me where the sky is Blue and my handle is the same as here xo.

The best thing about digging in PNG is you never do it alone. We owe just about every fossil we found to our good mates at Saksak
