Well, last night I had a great long blog all ready to go. I clicked on spell check and my window closes..no more blog. Argh, that was really annoying.
Anyways, I just finished with a Structural Geology test and unfortunately I missed a few things. The answers were posted on the bulletin board outside the class, so we all right away got to see how we did. I missed a few easy points on not remembering some vocabulary, bummer. Well I didn't count up my points so hopefully I did ok.
That was the only major thing planned this week, test or quiz wise so now I have to start writing my Field paper. Dr.Ashworth wants the stratigraphy of all the formations written up by Monday. So it will be interesting to see how I can accomplish this task.
Cool geology in the news is of course that Mount St. Helens has been blowing some steam and ash quite regulaly. Supposedly, lava is on its way up so it would be really neat to see that baby go. If there is an explosion, it is doubted that it will be anywhere near the size of explosion from the 1980 catastrophe. The current dome inside the crater is no-where the size of the dome was in 1980, the closest structures to the mountain are 5 miles which are visitor centers and I think a few houses.
Well thats it for now!

Hi there,
I ran across this article http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/national/194396_trex09.html
and it left me confused. I thought birds came after dinos, so how is it you have this Dilong (feathers)->ancestor of T.Rex (no feathers)-> bird (feathers)?
Thanks!
