@MC2 Don't take it from me, read the article

I’m gonna back away and skate as fast as I can so I can huck it at full speed.

I destroyed brand new liners once from heel strike and luckily Salomon replaced them. I started using a longass shoehorn that my sisters used for horseback riding boots. Someone should rebrand them for skiing.

Interesting idea. I have some.

All of the Utah cottonwoods resorts are certainly plagued by overcrowding. It's not that bad on the mountain, just the getting to the mountain that's the problem.

Aren't they building a gondola from SLC?

@MC2 Don't take it from me, read the article

I’m just wondering because I do have Geology degrees, I work as a geologist, and I specifically work with people from other states who focus on earthquake resistant infrastructure.

I ran up against the paywall so I can’t read that article from the New Yorker, but if you want to teach me something about earthquake resilience in the PNW, I’d love to hear it.

Or if you’d like to share your thoughts on why you think a ridiculously rare earthquake (9 on the Richter scale) is imminent, I’d listen to that, too.

It would be legitimately insane if you just read one article and formed a bunch of opinions based off of that, so i’m clearly dismissing that possibility.

Unless….?

I love Seattle but it's very expensive and it's about time for the Big One to hit.

A friend I met in grad school at Ole Miss, who studied forensic science, was from the Mississippi delta.
He told me he got a good job in La Jalla.
I told him, "it’s pronounced La Hoya and is in beautiful area but it’s gonna be like being on an island."
Ocean west of ya, desert east of ya, Tijuana south of ya and Elle Lay north of ya. All somewhat unworthy of proper habitations.
We went deep sea fishing when I visited one time and met his new wife who was of Japanese-Polish descent and is a shrink.
Later on he gotta a job at a Biotech in Seattle, has a son who also likes to go hunting and fishing & shooting bears, deer and turkeys.
Ya can take the boy outta the country but ya can’t take the country out of the boy.
The only big one he’s thinking about is the next big game he harvests.

@MC2 Everything I said was in the article. If you and your degrees would like to explain how it's all wrong be my guest.

Again, I can’t read the article. I can only guess at what it says.

You have done no other research, and read no other articles associated with this event that you are boldly predicting will happen within the next 30 years or so?

I would advise you to read it again and specifically focus on the words “could”, “might”, “possibly”, and “if”. There might not be as much certainty as you initially assumed when you read it.

Then I would try to see if there are any links in the article that go to any peer reviewed journal articles. Or, at very least, maybe focus on the work of some of the people mentioned in the article and see what other content they publish.

I am going to assume that you will do none of this because your passion seems to be arguing on the internet, not seismology.

Dude, are you drunk?

You mean these weren't lyrics to a Dylan song?

Nope, it’s all true. Just resting up to hit the slopes & watching the Rebels play Auburn on the tube.
Where’s yer story of making 1st chair at Belle riding an electric bike from near Newburg then Platty and back?
I believe I got my left skiboot issue solved too. Dang multitasking.
Costco had an e-bike for $350 when we went today. Looked a tad sketchy.
