Yes, that was a good day for science

I am glad to see Ötzi back in the news on the 16th anniversary of his discovery.
I would like to see this fellow - or to be hiking in the area of his discovery.
Too bad the import of this find was not realized at the time the authorities arrived.
Yes, I imprinted on the hiking in "Sound of Music" as an impressionable youth, especially after having done some easy hiking already in southwestern Germany. I want to hike or walk in the Alps again! It's been a year!!!
Must have that scenery!
P.S. I am noted for walking to > 14,000 feet in only loafers. One only has to step right. I was lucky not to have needed much ankle support yet.
