A concept of entropy is that nature tends from order to disorder in isolated systems (1).

I usually run a tighter ship than this but I thought I'd run a little experiment and see what would happen if I didn't say anything. I recieved the results I expected. My next post will demonstrate a solution to this problem.

Stay organized and I'll see you in the field.

Kurgan (from an Old-Turkic term for a fortress) a term which was primarily used for any hill, including big burial mounds, but is now used in Russian archaeology as a term for any barrow, burial mound or tumulus. The best known, due to their enormouse size, are the so-called 'royal' kurgans of the Scythian period.
