The brevity of our lives breeds a kind of temporal parochialism—an ignorance of or an indifference to those planetary gears which turn more slowly than our own.

I have kept tellin ya all for years about taking a longer view of the American economy....

Back when I was into predicting Earthquakes on this Board...I first got interested in it because of the Humboldt fault zone off of N California...it is one of the more active zones as it frequently ruptures with 5's and 6's. I was figuring that if something happened on this side of the Ring of Fire it would put pressure on the other side to eventually move as well. In sort of a seismic dance. I kind of gave up thinking about it as a fools errand because TABS time does not correspond to geologic time..

Then comes the money to rebuild the PNW if and when..with the US and worlds state of finances good luck with rebuilding.


Take a look at the time line...in 1964 Alaska suffers a 9.2 Quake along the Denali fault zone...the land pushes out or snaps back 66 feet to the south That has to put pressure on the Cascadia fault zone in a SE trending direction which in 1982 causes Mt St Helens to blow. There has been and is a lot of activity on the Humboldt fault in N CA which is where San Andreas and Cascadia meet. Now Cascadia has gone quiet, So where is Cascadia going to rupture...go due west of Mt St Helens.

What u have to remember is that the Tectonic plates are always readjusting themselves to relieve pressure that has built up. When you take a little pressure off here X, pressure begins to build over there > Y.

Now if I told you all the exact time, you all wouldn't remember so what is the use.
