An amusing quote...
So I'm digging through old, old emails, and I found a quote that's...well, still true...
"Geologists on the whole are inconsistent drivers. When a roadcut presents itself, they tend to lurch and weave. To them, the roadcut is a portal, a fragment of a regional story, a proscenium arch that leads their imaginations into the earth and through the surrounding terrain."

Do Not Let the Geologist Drive
You still had that?
By any chance do you have the citation? I can't find the articles and I want to re-read them.
Re: Do Not Let the Geologist Drive
Okay, I shouldn't say that. Might have been, but I don't remember. And I deleted the damn email, too.
I still can identify certain rocks at sixty miles an hour, twelve years later...
