Ugh! Dies alone!
For those of you who are very busy people, how do you have relationships? How do you CONSTANTLY explain to your partner that you are busy? Cuz mine does not seem to grasp the idea. Like, did you think I am where I am in my career and life cuz I take it easy.
I am so annoyed!!!

My final #FridayFold from December's visit to Mosaic Canyon in Death Valley NP in California. This one is pretty crazy, with at least two hinges. See if you can make any sense of it. ⚒️

On a happier note: my current hyper fixation is being able to do arm balancing. Here is a couple of crows. Reach out to your Adhd friends. They are doing dumb shit.

School starts Monday. I got these emails from a student enrolled in one of my classes. Same student harassed the other geologist last semester. Prof asked to remove him. As someone who had a student stalker before and spent 7 months in court getting a restraining order he broke. I am not well

Why? 😭😭😭
Felt this one!!! The bed swayed pretty hard. I am still too close to the epicenter. The alerts come in as the quake is happening. Sooo no sleep tonight

Indio is happening!!
Seismic waves recorded on my raspberry Shake seismometer in Turlock from a quake near Indio.
Word on the street is that this 4.9 about 40 minutes ago had some amplified shaking in Palm Desert area. Did you feel it?

M 4.9 earthquake 19 km NNE of Indio, CA
Did you feel it? Report it!
earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/...
A M4.9 quake occurred this evening north of Indio. It is east of the San Andreas fault, far enough away to not change the likelihood of a quake on the San Andreas. It's located very near the minor EW-striking Blue Cut fault

Mostly shitting my past still. Replicas are here already
