10. When my family was cleaning out my Grandmother's home

we found a very old version of an intro geology text that had the old theory that the earth was hollow and full of wind. As a Hydrogeologist, I just had to have that for my library, unfortunately it has become lost among the boxes that we still have from cleaning out the place. One of these days I will find it again, I'm sure of it.

It is fun to see how these things have changed over time. My dad took a geology for non-geologists course when he was at UT Austin back in his day and still has his text from the class. I looked and found that I used the same text, just a much newer and revised version. It was fun to go through that as well, just to see what they taught him versus what I learned.

Science is a wondrous thing and just keeps getting better.
