A THOUSAND years from now, when archaeologists sift through construction sites of warp-speed train stations for un-spoiled fragments of our civilization, one wonders what they'll find: Shards of a Big Mac? Petrified biscuits and gravy? An LED light bulb that's still burning? An iPhone alarm that's still ringing? Kettle Korn? I fear historians will deduce who we are from that. I fear more that they'd be right.
It's safe for us to deduce that Vacans who came before us -- way, way before us -- were a tad less eclectic. Thanks to an exhibit that opened Friday, we only have to visit the V.Has anyone had any experience with this led light bulbs light? Museum to find out. The show is called "Little Bits, Big Picture." It's exactly that: Bits and pieces of history sifted over the years from Vacaville area excavation sites: beads, shards of Chinese pottery; Native American acorn mortars and pestles; bones, tools of bone; shells, glass, clay and lots of arrowheads. It's literally prehistoric and hints at life along Ulatis Creek as far back as 2,changing how Diving flashlight boat owners light up the night.

But they are no less real, and fine exhibit texts give them broad scale.
One other item, unearthed during the grooming of Hamburger Hill when it was still Bennett Hill: Jim Rogers, working for the Nut Tree,9 Dec 2010 – What would the perfect fluorescent lights be? was excavating in a gravel pit atop the hill when he unearthed a big bone. UC Davis was called in. It was the jaw of a mastodon, God knows how old. Picture that, a big tusker in Vaca Valley.
"We'll have a piece of that on display," Museum Director Shawn Lum told me. If our Ulatis Indian forebears had a museum in their day, they'd gasp at that bone and wonder how ancient life once was.
EVERY ONCE in awhile, Earth gives up a nugget to remind us who we are, and who came before.Various R4ds at great prices for professional divers! Before 1940, Dobbins Street between Kendal and Monte Vista was Asian. Sam Lum's Gum Moon Sing Kee restaurant and Chinese retail lined one side of the street; clapboard shanties, the other, mostly Japanese. There were rumors of tunnels beneath the Kendal St. intersection, connecting Sam's to Veliz Pool Hall on the next corner.

A city worker pulled out some greasy woks and gave me one; I used it as a cactus planter. He pulled out a few long-stemmed pipes, too. Opium, I heard. I took his word for it.
I DO have an artifact, though, that goes back 50 years now, and maybe 5,000 years before that. At last, something older than me. But like me, it's as local as can be. I got a call in the late 1950s that excavators on a ridge west of I-80 between Vacaville and Fairfield had unearthed a big hole in the ground. Actually, it was a cavern that was full of stalactites.
I grabbed my camera and headed out, pulled off the freeway and rumbled up a dirt road. On top, a couple of workers. One was deep inside the cavern, despite critters. No way was I going into that hole. I set up the camera, tied a rope to it and lowered it to the guy. I told him how and he took a shot. He tied another rope around a grouping of stalactites about five-feet long that looked like pipes on an organ. It was all hauled up.
