The Cave with No Name
by Michael Sweeney 
  Of language, in Faust, Goethe said, “Words are mere sound and smoke, dimming the heavenly light.”Comprehend the meaning behind that quote, and you begin to understand the spirit behind The Cave without a name.

Asthmatics Outdoors
by Tania Larson
   For the millions of Americans with asthma the obstacles of outdoor sports can seem impossible as their bodies react adversely to the world around them. Central Texas is known for its allergy-inducing pollens and those pollens combined with the strain of exercise can cause an asthmatic's bronchioles to constrict preventing their muscles from getting the oxygen they need. Some attacks simply make the asthmatic feel mildly out of shape, while others can leave one unable to walk or even talk.

     Fortunately, even severe asthma can be just another challenge to overcome. There are many things one can do to take control of asthma and take to the hills with confidence.
