No DAPL, but also, no fracking
When I was reading up on the Dakota pipeline (a pox be upon it *ptui*), I looked at a bunch of maps of fracking wells, as one does when one is interested in geology.
Then I reflected for a bit about fracking, wastewater injection, Oklahoma and measurable, increased seismic activity. Also this article about the physical consequences of glaciers ( Read more... ) -
We'd celebrate, if it wouldn't be incredibly tacky.
Just before Father's Day, the cousins and I gathered as a mini-reunion around here. We had such a good time with my cousin and her kids who are almost the same age as mine. We brought them to June Crown, went to the redwoods, visited the USS Hornet. We also visited Grandma, who didn't know any of us, but seemed pleased to have us around ( Read more... ) -
The Bear and Boar

I showed her the things that needed to be fixed: the decayed door trim around the exterior garage door and the adjact door the the ( Read more... ) -

Anyway, he asked me to share his photos of the Pirate Festival from a couple of weeks back. trystbat and demode, I'm particularly looking at you. I hope Dad wasn't much of a bother.

Highs and Lows
We've been having grand adventures as well as misery.
A week ago Thursday I went to see The Grand Duke with some friends. It was a grand time. The only thing I didn't enjoy was not leaving enough time between dinner and the show. The first act, though enjoyable, did not get my full attention. After potty break intermission, I enjoyed myself ( Read more... ) -
