KPT's Earth thread

I think she mostly stuck to Oregon when she was alive. She passed away 5 years ago. My Grandma still goes around and sells some of her stuff. She actually has about 500lbs worth of rocks/agates and such in storage of hers.

 

That's a lot of agate.

 

She had been collecting in the northwest for her whole life. She also bought a lot of little stuff here and there. I am sure it would be worth a lot of money if it was all put up for sale. Like I said before, next time I make it back to Oregon I will try to get a picture of all the rarest stuff my grandma kept of hers.

 

If you aren't still mad at me anyway...

 

Sounds like a long 8 hour day. Drive safe and watch out for the other drivers.

 

First time I ever felt an earthquake I thought it was my apartment maintenance doing something outside and lasted maybe 5 seconds. Second time it was obvious that it was an earthquake and lasted much longer, maybe 20 seconds but it felt much longer. But I was in no danger of the building I was in collapsing either time.

Point being that maybe knowing what's going on and being able to recognize it as an earthquake is good; at least if they can put a name to it people flip out less. Most of the time your house isn't going to collapse on you anyway with these little tiny quakes.

Have a safe trip Keith!

 

Yeah, last fall Oklahoma had several little earthquakes. None of them were especially terrifying, though one of them was a 5.1 or so and knocked some siding bricks off houses, that sort of thing.

 

sounds like Texas to me! Not many states you can dive for 12 hours in and still be in the same state heading the same direction

So pretty! Looks like a good evening to sit on the back porch. I love drilling rig lights.

 

Right after I started working in Oklahoma one night I went out driving near my rig. At the top of a hill I looked out over the valley and I could see about 30 rigs all lit up. It was pretty cool.

 

This is more G&O industry than strictly geology, but thought I'd pass it along...

From TW Live:

This is all Keith's fault. I am not responsible for my posts tonight.

 

I still have a lot of friends who work there, they bought the last logging company I worked for. So... yeah, I wish them the best for my friends.

 

I believe electric cars are a huge reducer of carbon emissions, especially those that get their power from coal fired power plants.

 

And have to get their batteries made/mined from about 20 different places in the world
