The Last Great Road Bum
The Last Great Road Bum is a novel by Héctor Tobar. The book is an fictionalized account of Joe Sanderson's life.

The book is set in the 1960s through the 1980s, focusing on Sanderson's travels. The book ends with Sanderson's death in 1982 as a guerrilla fighter in the Salvadoran Civil War.

Héctor Tobar, serving at the time as the Mexico City bureau chief for the Los Angeles Times first came across Sanderson's papers in an encounter with a researcher from San Salvador, who told Tobar about his diary, which had been preserved by archivists. Tobar would later contact Sanderson's brother, Steve, who would give Tobar access to the family's collection of mail from Sanderson. Tobar initially tried to write it as non-fiction, but later wrote it as a novel.

Blarinella
Blarinella is a small genus of shrews in the subfamily Soricinae of the family Soricidae.  It contains the following two species:

Asiatic short-tailed shrew (Blarinella quadraticauda)

Burmese short-tailed shrew (Blarinella wardi)

Red-toothed shrew
The red-toothed shrews of the subfamily Soricinae are one of three living subfamilies of shrews, along with Crocidurinae (white-toothed shrews) and Myosoricinae (African white-toothed shrews). In addition, the family contains the extinct subfamilies Limnoecinae, Crocidosoricinae, Allosoricinae and Heterosoricinae. These species are typically found in North America, northern South America, Europe and northern Asia. The enamel of the tips of their teeth is reddish due to iron pigment. The iron deposits serve to harden the enamel and are concentrated in those parts of the teeth most subject to wear. Members of the genera Chimarrogale, Nectogale, Neomys (Nectogalini) and some members of Sorex (Soricini) are known as water shrews, due to having a semi-aquatic lifestyle.

Cave sitting
Competitive cave sitting, or cave dwelling, began in the 1950s, as a test of endurance. Early cave sits involved groups of people, but over time the endeavour became an individual pursuit. Cave sitting requires a competitor to stay in a cave for as long as possible without direct interaction with other humans or the outside world. In addition to the desire to set a new record, the purpose of competitive cave sits have included testing the effects of solitude and darkness on humans, testing possible options for protection from nuclear fallout and studying the body's circadian rhythms. Since the 1950s, cave sitting endurance records have been set in France, America, Italy, Australia, England, Serbia and Spain. In the 1960s, sections of the press described cave sitting as a sport. The world record is currently held by Serbian Milutin Veljković who sat alone in a cave for 464 days in the Svrljig Mountains in eastern Serbia in 1971.
