Our own Dr. Evelyn had quite a scare recently – some asshole broke in to her flat and stole her laptop. She wasn’t harmed, but she’s considerably shaken up and in need of an infusion of kittehs. Send her your cute kitteh photos asap! You can reach her at geokittehs at gmail dot com. We’ll …

Lockwood and I went to Avery Park for the geology, but stayed for the rose garden. I’ll have a full bouquet of roses for you sometime in the nearish future, plus one of the best bee photos I’ve ever taken. But for now, I wanted to share one very meaningful rose.

Last night was completely fucked up in all the best ways. Well, most of them. And it’s led to semi-deep thoughts. Mind you, I hadn’t had enough sleep.

I just got my package of books from Wayne Ranney. (Actually, I probably got them a week ago, but I’ve only just now checked the mail.) You know what this means, don’t you? Pain, that’s what. You see, Wayne’s a wonderful writer, and he’s got all of Arizona’s delicious geology to go play in, and …

Some of my favorite geologists are on teevee! Wayne Ranney and Ron Blakey got tapped to explain how the Grand Canyon came to be for Naked Science on the National Geographic channel. Repeats are airing – check your local listings and set your DVRs to stun! I mean, record!
