Spelunking vs. Caving

So a while ago, a friend of mine and I went caving, and while driving to our destination, I was informed that caving was the prefered term rather than spelunking. When I told him that caving was too monotonously regular for my taste, he said that many cavers will become offensive about the term used. Personally, you could add "ing" to almost anything and make it an action, where spelunk is not only an origional word to use, but is rather fun to say as well. So take that cavers, I'm a spelunker. What I would like to know, is why caving is the prefered word to those in which this applies. Any takers?
Yes. I'm in a cave here.

OH my GOODness!

So last night I was waiting tables when I was informed that just above the pizza make table in the kitchen, a large bird had committed suicide. They said that it had happened hours before, and someone had already disposed of the bird....but it's mark was still there. So, naturally, I retrieved my camera in order to document the experience, and here below is what I found. I couldn't get a very good photo because it had crashed into the window too far above me, but let me tell you, that was one defined bird print. You could see it's beak, eye marks, individual feather lines, claw marks from it's feet, and also it's wing expanse.
And down below is more of a close up for the feather details. I wish I could have gotten a better picture, it was wild looking. Look for its beack and eyes.

My mom and I...

...went for a ride the other day, and the weather was incredible. Fayetteville is finally starting to cool down and thank goodness. It rained last night for the first time in weeks, and even though it poured, the streams and creeks are dry as a bone this morning. Too bad, I guess floating before school starts is out of the picture...

Back roading.

I kinda like the perspective of this photo, and the way in which the railing directs your eye.
And here is mother, acting pooped. But let me tell you, she is just tickled to pieces that she got a new bike rack for her car. That's probably the only reason we even went riding, to utilize her new toy.

Yes. I live in Arkansas

Another one of the many uses of duct tape.
