Yosemite Sam Swearing

When I was a kid (and probably even now), nothing was quite as funny as Yosemite Sam swearing. Probably because although the actual words were unintelligible, even as kids we knew that what he was saying was pretty bad. But words like "rackafrassen" were somehow far far funnier than if Yosemite Sam had been saying the same words we had heard grandpa use!

Unfortunately these days, all one has to do is listen to someone using "ghetto language" at high volume on their cellphone in a public place, and it will put Yosemite Sam, grandpa, the Soprano's and a fleet of sailors to shame. How unfortunate if this is to become the "norm."

Definitely off the "beaten path," in a spruce bog in Northern Minnesota, this site boasts an incredible array of scientific equipment that is supported by an amazing technological infrastructure! There are control sites and some of the chambers have added heat, carbon dioxide, or both. A lot of equipment and experimental testing goes on 24/7, 365 days per year. These guys know their stuff. The 10 chambers are connected ...
