Mt St Helens
Sunday, November 02, 2014 4 comments Another one of my bucket list items fulfilled. The geologist/volcanologist in me dreamed of coming here. The tragedy of lives lost is well-documented in the Johnson Observatory. A lot of it is hard to explain, I'd recommend a trip there. ... Read more

Redundant behavior, mindless clicking or purpose?
Friday, October 31, 2014 11 comments I've spun the darned wheel now for almost 6 years. Clicked the pennants and watched the bonus wheel spin. What does it mean? Why do I do this? I don't pay attention to points; they exist in the vaporous world of the internet. Other tha... Read more

Olympic Penninsula and Seattle, WA
Monday, October 20, 2014 2 comments We spent 2 weeks in this glorious area. I managed to walk/hike/climb every day and get some leg muscles. Even my hip behaved which thrilled me.
