All In A Days Karma: May 2020

In the winter of 1985 I was driving through the Mojave Desert with a friend, talking about our apparent need for new river gear. As we passed the Twenty Nine Palms Marine Base, a man unexpectedly appeared on the side of the road selling used ammo cans. My friend and I laughed wildly and quickly came to realize that the moment was "All In A Days' Karma". This blog contains the occasional ramblings of a died-in-the-wool westerner who loves seeing, understanding, and being alive upon these landscapes. I cherish the moments of bliss and irony that come to all of us as we explore the planet and its residents (and perhaps visitors) in the short time we are here.

A Landslide in Columbia - In a Landfill!

Landslides are so interesting! I subscribe to the American Geophysical Union (AGU) Landslide Blog and get a report every morning detailing some kind of landslide around the world. This morning, there is news of landslide in Bogota, Columbia in a landfill. See here.
