I didn't realize I was sporting my Ridgecrest Rocks M7.1 t-shirt until I arrived to volunteer at my kid's school #Shakeout drill. Dressing for success 😄

A bushtit taking a break in a bush with the feathers on its head fluffed.

A red shouldered hawk sitting on a branch and looking around.

Managed to find a little nature (in the middle of LA), including a tiny bushtit and a large red shouldered hawk. The bushtit was jumping around everywhere making it tough to catch a photo, while the hawk practically posed. #birds #borb

Two fledgling doves hidden among plants.

Two fledgling doves clustered around a parent dove.

Two fledgling doves have taken up residence right outside our front door. So every time we leave or return we tiptoe by to avoid disturbing them.

An earthquake devastated Santa Barbara 100 years ago. It holds urgent lessons for the next 'Big One' In California, where the next “Big One” is an always-looming threat, some lessons learned from the 1925 Santa Barbara quake resonate even 100 years later, experts say.

I was married in the picturesque Santa Barbara Courthouse, but didn't know until today that it was entirely reimagined-along w/ most of downtown-after the 1925 Santa Barbara earthquake. Ron-Gong Lin shares this & other interesting facts in an LA Times article: www.latimes.com/california/s...

Yes! It was so neat to see the San Diego Wild Animal Park elephants' version of Drop, Cover, Hold On in response to today's quake. Here's a video: youtu.be/zvgyl5l7Y6Q?...

I was lucky enough to have Tanya Atwater as my professor in my first geology course (Plate Tectonics!). In the course she told vivid stories about this period when plate tectonics was being debated in the field. Such an inspiration!

How about a non-fillable PDF that is then copied into a Word document? Every form, every time.
