The Mammoth Site
On our South Dakota trip, we spent a pleasant afternoon at the Mammoth Site, near the town of Hot Springs. For some reason, we thought that there were probably few people at the Hot Springs that day. Here's why. That's what WeatherBug told me. We were very pleasantly surprised to find that the site of …

In my graduate studies in Psychology, one unit we studied was "interpersonal attractiveness". The professors at my university had done numerous studies of what makes a person attractive.
