A Brief Respite

This is so exciting. So momentous. Huge.

More important then the brief fling of one candidate or another as he stops in at the White House, hopefully to leave a positive image in the history books, but more than likely to just sit as another pawn of the political puppeteers.

What is more important? A new species has been discovered.

A new species of homo erectus.

Humans that would have been shaped like Hobbits but with little tiny brains to match their little tiny bodies. They lived in little tiny caves on little tiny islands just north west of Australia. They made little tiny tools and even hunted little tiny elephants. They were maybe three feet tall–fully grown.

The discovering archeologists are excited because these little hominins lived along side modern humans a relatively short 12,000 years ago. The juxtaposition of two species of human ancestors living side by side is a great new image. But even better . . .

What if next year, while searching the caves for more remains of these little H Floresiensis, the archeologists find evidence of one being alive today.

Could the Littles be a true story. Are there really Leprechauns? All I know is, I want one!
