Society of the Snow is a movie a lot of folks here would enjoy. On Netflix.

About the 1970's crash in the Andes by a rugby team and having to survive without rescue.

Great snowy day movie. Tough to watch and sad at times, but well worth the adventure.

I am in west Knox….mid week next week before they go back. Temperatures are going down. Everything will now freeze for several days.

Should be enough sun on Wednesday that most of the snow and ice go away, but you're right it'll stay below freezing for a while so we may not go back this week

They can’t stand if even ONE THING doesn’t work in their favor.

You think they’ve shed any tears over any of the dozens of roster liquidations that all these teams across the country have suffered (including us)? They were more than happy to take Henry T off our hands when Pruitt got canned.

I'll never understand that dink and dunk strategy.

You're down 2 scores with 2 mins left. Go deep and high variance or else just wave the white flag and don't even play it out.

Just curious, what are his theories?


Not aimed at you, but not sure why it needs theories though. The whole civilzation debate seems arbitrary and full of semantics. We know human remains date back, whether a part of "civilized" society or not, hundreds of thousands of years. The rest is just archaeology...a lack thereof...and definitions.

Did hunter-gatherers lack meaningful societies or culture? Is civilization only legitimate when it's a part of an agragarian or urban/centralized society? These are very modern concepts and biased towards agrarianism, as preferrable over hunter-gatherers. One group moved and lived off and within the land. The other stayed in one spot, grew stores of food, and molded the land to its needs rather than living within the land's constraints.

These are value differences, but surely not parameters for when a human culture or society existed or not.

A few of his theories that I’ve heard
-we may not be the most advanced humans that have been on the earth.
-there was a possible cataclysmic event that occurred and caused mass death and destruction. Almost and extinction event. Possible meteor shower that hit the ice caps
-the pyramids are older than we believe and were possibly built by the ancient societies not the Egyptians. Not sure why they were built but could be an advanced reasoning behind them. Since there are pyramids on multiple continents.
-interesting things he’s seen at Gobekli Tepe, can’t remember exactly why he found them interesting.

These are a few of his beliefs.

Anything is possible, I suppose. However, Graham Hancock makes a lot of assumptions and even assumptions on top of assumptions in an attempt to try and make his theories work.

I agree but that’s what theories start as. Assumptions on top of assumptions on top of assumptions, they try to work things out in conversation and in their minds.

Every great thing started with assumptions about what they would be able to do and those people were often ridiculed as being wackos when they were trying to work through the beginnings of their beliefs. He may be wrong, he may be right, he may very well be somewhere in the middle but we don’t know. My guess is the middle.

Johnson City. The helicopters in charge hit the cancel button last week, when weather channel reported that it may, possibly get wind gusts up to 50 mph. The singular, limb in my yard was hell to pick up.

All 3 inches of snow today, (not on the road) makes city streets virtually impassable. Both of my awd vehicles would never traverse the .5 miles to school. Er, we could walk.

I recall being in school, watching snow fall. And just wishing, once. That we'd get out of school. Outside of the 93 blizzard, I cannot recall a time where we got more than a half day off.

There was a time in college soph year it snowed so much transformers were popping. Our first move was to beer store. The rest I will leave to imagination. Suffice to say campus was nuts that day.

I was at UT the blizzard of 93, what happened during the blizzard stayed in the blizzard, it’s like Vegas
