(CNN) -- A series of about 5,200 holes stretching nearly a mile (1.5 kilometers) across the Pisco Valley in the southern Peruvian Andes has baffled researchers for nearly a century. But a fresh look at the site, called Monte Sierpe, or "serpent mountain," may help archaeologists to decipher why ancient people constructed it hundreds of years ago.

And, Eberly, aren't you horrified at what's happened to the Republican brand? It's shot to hell. When will you abdicate? The national party isn't returning to your middle ground in your lifetime. And more of the local Rs are likely toting the national water than you know.
I've found that's the case in my rural county in Virginia. You write them about a purple issue (dementia) and get a somewhat cynical response (do you need us to vote for certain legislation?).
