On the rare occasions when I have alcohol on hand, I find it very conducive to blog commenting. I can’t speak for the quality of any comments so generated, though.

M-L, I’m especially glad this met with your approval – I know how much thought you’ve given to the subject over the years. Natalie, yes, I should’ve worked in some economic angle there at the end! Pat – you bet. Suzanne, thanks for the book tip. I’ll keep an eye out for that.

A possible footnote to your story:
And then an art dealer stumbled into the cave and made them an offer they couldn’t refuse and lo, posters were printed and t-shirts were made and the tourist hordes descended.

As you know, Dave, the subject of rock art and the hands featured in so much of it, is of great interest to me. Being more visual, I’ve even made prints with my own hand. For a while now I’ve been trying to write a post about it and with this you’ve inspired me to try it again.
