Kimmy:
So, I was watching this auto auction on the Lobotomy box last night, and they auctioned a 1964 VW 21 window sunroof Microbus for $41,000.
I shoulda kept my '67!
-ol' 2long I think I just shorted out my keyboard with drool.

>I spent a week on the Big Island doing some geology along the Saddle Road. It
Funny.
I just sent someone to the Big Island.
For what?
Karst study.
Weird.

Karst?
Reefs might form karst after they're left high and dry and start 2 dissolve (like Florida, the only water-soluble state in the union), but the Hawaiian islands are subsiding, taking what little coral there is with them! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

SLH, I love you back! SS, that was a very beautiful song - "memories tucked away in the pages of my mind" Faith, you have real friends, in real life? Really? I just sent someone to the Big Island. I'm next Kimmy, okay? You two, Kimmy and 2long, are just very strange with the VW obsession thing. I'm not saying it's a bad thing, it's just strange. Strange is good though. No, you are both excentric. That's it. Excentric is cool!

Of course...
My exact words as I was booking everything was, "Karst survey, my @ss!"
So maybe he is looking for something else over there....

Does that mean I can move forward with my plans to take over the world?
The Brain: Yes, finally! The Happy Sappy Children of Many Lands ride! Where cheering music will spread the message that a mouse should rule the world!
Pinky: Oh no, Brain. Narf! You're thinking of that other park in Orlando.

OK Faithful, I ran that through the translator, and I get that you need a vacation really bad, that you need more rest, but that you are not completely crazy.......... yet. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />
I hope you and your girls friends laugh a lot. It helps.
The reason I do so many things...... is that it helps me to cope. And also, I want our children to have fun memories that will last forever. I think it will help them, and sustain them when they get to where you and I are. I hope you get enough help - I trust God is there when you really need him to be.
I still believe you will do OK in the long run, but may you also find joy in the journey.

You know I do Faithy...
But I have to tell you, being sane is HIGHLY overrated.
IME, that is.

Subsiding = sinking.
The islands are volcanic, made of basalt, which has a density of something like 3.3.
Now, they're sitting on basalt (the ocean floor), but it's all cool basalt, so it even2ally sinks beneath the crust at subduction trenches. Hawaii is sitting over a hotspot convection plume in the mantle, and the Pacific plate is moving over it. So, the Big Island is the youngest of the chain, and they get progressively older (and sunk farther with more coral around them) as you go from SE 2 NW.

Weav! Doncha love me too? Why yes, yes I do! If I vote for Kimmy though, she'll send me to Hawaii for a month. Did you hear that Kimmy? The cost of one month in Hawaii will buy you my vote. And when you take over the ruling of the world, please get ride of all the dirty politicians. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Nope, I think that'll do me. One question though...does Orchid know she's subsiding? Never got to the Big Easy before the bad weather came...don't want to make the same mistake with Hawaii, no siree.

I went to HI once. Many years ago. It stormed something fierce the entire time.
If you want to get in on the ground (pardon the pun) floor, land speculate on the east side of the big island. That's where it is still forming under the hot spot. I read a new island is about 700 ft below sea level off the east coast of the big island and rising. Well, OK, you need to be in it for the long term capital gains, like a million years or so.
Alaska though. That's where I want to go next. DS and I want to ride Harleys up the Alcan and return on the inland ferry. Take about a month all total I figure.

I think that's considered cheating too...
And if I got RID of them instead of getting ride of them...then poor Robby would be up chit creek without any waders.
