This was 1962(CE, not BCE) and I was short of money, this being my first permanent job. My first check would not arrive for a month after I had started work. So I read up on the archaeology, natural history etc. of the area (Wupatki Nat'l Mon), spending many quiet evenings in my quarters, gaining a reputation as a devoted scholar, a reputation that was in question as soon as the first paycheck arrived. I set sail for Flagstaff, in search of dates! I was making $4,000 a year, my VW beetle was paid for, and I was rich beyond belief. I am pretty sure you can still find dates in Flagstaff....
