Note for the Granddaughters

We had a great day in southern California. We took the bikes to the end of Gaffey Street in San Pedro, and then explored the Pacific Coast. I was quite surprised that the older granddaughter found dozens of hermit crabs in the tide pool. She really knows her marine biology. The younger one knows no fear. She loved the biking.

    1. Of course, had I been in the Bakken, the photos would have been of oil wells/rigs, etc., but yes, I got a kick out of these photos. Thanks for taking time to comment.

  3. WSJ editorial on why delaying Keystone allowed Canadian tar sands to land in the hands of the Chinese

    A New York Times story on Williston. Some of the comments are downright scary

    1. Great links, thank you. I have posted them as stand-alone posts or added them to a stand-alone post.

      The NY Times article was great:

      The New York Times went to Williston and this is all they could find on the downside due to the boom: traffic, housing challenges, and dust. That was it. Traffic, housing, and dust.

      What they did not find: terrorists; roadside bombs; starvation; empty shelves; lack of water, sewer, electricity; joblessness; gouging at the grocery stores;problems with fracking; oil spills; derailments; lack of shelter. All they found was traffic, housing challenges, and dust.

      My hunch is the journalist never really went to Williston; she posted her story from Ohio. Had she actually been in Williston, she would have mentioned mosquitoes.
