This odd little series ran back in 2004. It introduces Gene’s female friend “Sondra,” and the point of it all is, exactly what kind of “friend” is Sondra? Apparently she wasn’t a serious friend. After this week of introduction, she never appears again. I’m getting a bit of a late start this week; it’s a busy summer. However, over the next few days I will try to stick with the Sondra series to its conclusion.

Mark, in case a photo of a downed horse was not bad enough…

That’s funny, Ghost.
Mark, and therein lies the hubris. When mortals believe their guesses are fact.
Keep questioning.
TruckerRon, I agree with the sentiment. But the word ‘your’ instead of ‘their’ suggests intent behind the keystrokes.
Staircase thought: I am after all, only correcting a friend for there edification, right?
Sleep well, everyone.

The current “Yellowstone Hotspot” has been going for quite a while. There’s evidence that shows movement of the magma plume under the continental plate for several million years.

The current Yellowstone hotspot is under a caldera a mere 640,000 years old. The point of note is that there are two “resurgent domes” in the area, Sour Creek and Mallard Lake, that indicate rising magma. That may well result in an eruption in the near future (geological time).
Of course, the last eruption was more than twice as long ago as Homo sapiens has existed as a species. The recent find in Morocco suggests that we may be as much as 300,000 years old. Then again, any sign of civilization beyond hunter/gatherer is thought to be no more than 10,000 or years ago. With that in mind, it is likely that civilization and possibly humans won’t exist by the time the plume erupts into a volcano again.
I certainly won’t lose any sleep over it this decade, and I doubt that I’ll lose any sleep over it for my portion of the remainder of the century.

Ghost: Thanks for the Yellowstone update. Info has been available for ages, but many likely do not know of it. Our precaution, decided by generous fate in summer ’58, was to move here, where the ashfall should be bearable. We can sleep four or so.
A more immediate but lesser concern is that the days are getting shorter. We’ve had highs in the 80s in the last few weeks, but temp reached only 70F today. To celebrate the solstice, supped on the patio, but added my terrycloth bathrobe to my usual around-the-house garb. Warmed over pizza + a Cheap Date Session Ale from Arcadia Brewing in Kalamazoo. Not as hoppy as a pale ale or IPA, but good. ABV 4.5%.
Peace,
And Dave; we cross posted. Good stuff. Peace
Yep, TR – “yours” only in the sense that you brought them to this forum.
And to all a good night!
Interesting sundial for this solstice day:
