Sights like this make geology tangible. What was the earth thinking?

Anonymous said...: See, now, if there had been field trips, I probably wouldn't have preferred to sleep through geology class.

Now I find it fascinating, and luckily, so does my daughter, so we can pore over the rock samples in museums for as long as we want. Someone smart usually puts them right next to the dinosaur exhibit, which helps extend my son's attention span.

I don't know what the earth was thinking, but I am thinking that I don't want to fall back by an hour next week. I'd prefer to go back a couple of months. And pictures from summer like this just reinforce that thought.; 5:56 PM

Hell! That dang volcano again. Always with the eruptions! Showoff!

Cripes it's cold! Let's dance to warm up.; 11:18 AM
