The bottom line is, these events happen on very large time scales. Logically, I can't see how moving the amount of water around on the Earth's crust that we are is not going to have an impact for centuries to come.

Show Notes:

Just a quick hello literally five minutes after I got the new backdrop setup. I've been working on it for two days.

Show Notes:

The Habitat podcast by Gimlet Media:

So I did a "sleep study" last night in Redlands, CA. Weird experience.

Then I found a cool new podcast on the way home - see above.

Somehow I rambled on to differences between Temecula & Southern California and the Great Lakes region where I am originally from.

What can I say, it's early morning, and I'm up with the tweeting birds.
