The word awesome is almost never apt, certainly not in reference to sauce. There are few things in the known universe to which it could be appropriately applied. China's Wall is merely great; Kreskin is simply amazing. Einstein's Theory of Relativity is awesome, as is the universe itself. Ditto for Darwin's Theory of Evolution. So too, I just found out, is hiking below the rim of the Grand Canyon. Yesterday morning I took a short three-hour hike on the South Kaibab trail down to Skeleton Point, 2040 feet below the rim; six miles round trip. I saw a condor. I worked up a mighty sweat. It was awesome.
