Waikiki Beach at Cape Disappointment. Yes, the cliffs are basaltic like those in Hawaii, but the spot was named for a Hawaiian sailor who lost his life here in a shipwreck (one of many). How does a place get a name? Cape Disappointment and [...]

In the 60's we had our tilting buildings for earthquakes when there was extreme liquefaction.  That's when the loose sand turned to soup.  Many years of study and finally people understood not put buildings on loose sand.  No tilting buildings [...]

Almost a year since we completed on our house in Settle. The garden is a bit over-occupied. Being not that large and yet with 5 woodland trees it has an almost continuous canopy to offset its unremittingly sunny aspect. It is similarly full of [...]

Just saw a story on the BBC that Scotland has banned GMO crops. I wonder if they know that every crop growing there now has been genetically modified by humans and nature countless times? The folks that passed the ban have been genetically modified [...]
