o ceallaigh s felloffatruck productions o ceallaigh s felloffatruck productions tuesday 26 august 2014 even trees get old i recall when i first saw them solid and straight and arriving at to very fast statures they were the red oak trees in the front yard of the congested bungalow in southeastern massachusetts that we called home furthermore to seven year old me they were titans i thought they were antiquated were sitting in that yard in the times of squanto and the pilgrim fathers i was disillusioned when i discovered that every one of those trees had been chopped down years prior that these trees were youthful barely more seasoned than my guardians their boles were round their bark very nearly smooth and their first limbs route over my head so i couldn t have kicked decently off regardless of the possibility that i had needed to climb them which i didn t there was a breathtaking perspective of the world to be had from the highest points of those trees i longed them each delight of the experience i was not going to test them for it i never figured out how to shinny up a tree trunk to achieve those first extensions i didn t have much in the method for muscles and i didn t have much coordination of what i did have moreover i figured the main way i would get down was by falling and slaughtering myself just to be slaughtered again for breaking the maternal decree thou shalt not climb trees my disappointment to grasp one of the characterizing difficulties of childhood did not go unnoticed and i got dissed for it they were spunky i was clucky and the children on the schoolyard and in the caddyshack lost no chance to say as much staying alive is more paramount i was never entirely beyond any doubt how my mother felt about the oak trees consistently she would whine about how they shaded the front yard so not grass or blossoms would develop appropriately furthermore she would watch the yard each spring when the snow liquefied grousing about the unlimited heaps of oak seeds that developed and inside a week or thereabouts it appeared sent roots no less than two thirds of the path past the core of the earth making them difficult to force up but then after a seemingly endless amount of time the trees remained my own particular impressions of the trees obscured when i took in the significance of the expression rake for it appeared to be as though every one of those red oak trees created enough leaves to blanket the perimeter of the planet in a layer a foot thick it would have been ok if the leaves were beautiful in any case these red oak leaves move at the same time in october from green to dead tan a frustrating result for a kid who continued finding out about the glories of new england leaf season and pondered when he may find what everybody was discussing it would have been ok if the leaves had all fallen without a moment s delay in any case no red oak trees lose their leaves a little at once such a large number of trees still are sticking to their fall edit in say february which implied to the kid that was me that raking season endured from columbus day to easter when the snow liquefied enough to rake the leaves that fell into the snow beginning on thanksgiving it would have been okay if the leaves really rotted not long after they fell at the same time red oak leaves rot gradually i in some cases thought about whether they are not nature s styrene plastic nonbiodegradable and indestructible which implied they must be raked off the grass and the arrangement or they cover the grass and the blooms i used numerous a fall day rake under control with a heap of goes out or thereabouts it appeared gazing sadly at the ones as of now sticking to the extensions path over my head posted by catherine carl at 02 38 0

coopetition posted by catherine carl at 03 31 0 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest monday 1 may 2006 life on a fault line i ve spent most of the last two weeks back at my home base of boothbay harbor maine overseeing the installation of a major piece of equipment a scanning electron microscope and tending to other bits of science business while i was there maine was a fairly pleasant place to be it refrained from snowing the daffodils were making their first tentative appearance and the blackflies had not yet driven everybody back indoors the winter had been warm by maine standards and dry so the usual knee deep mires masquerading as driveways roadsides sidewalks you gotta be kidding and parking lots weren t there i could actually walk places without getting slimed this is not normal and it had the natives in a fret mainers are used to their seasons mud april blackfly may mosquito june august yellowjacket september leaf october and winter november march if you re lucky no mud in april may mean dry wells in august or worse rain and fog in august both of which will keep the tourists who visit during what the rest of the northern hemisphere calls summer away and since the state that proclaims itself the way life should be has no industry to speak of and has the third lowest per capita investment in research and development of all the fifty u s states maine needs healthy tourists even more than it needs healthy lobster there is no research money available to investigate what keeps lobster healthy of course even after they all died in western long island sound in 1999 the way petroleum fuel prices are at the moment maybe nobody will visit maine this august and the entire state will be applying for disaster relief in october about the only disaster not likely to hit maine anytime soon is a major earthquake unlike sunny warm wealthy california where at least in berkeley where i m staying the daffodils had come and gone by february i flew in to oakland the other day and almost immediately drove to bodega bay where there is a prominent marine biology research laboratory and helped introduce a class of first year students from the brand new merced campus of the university of california to the marine environment on a windy saturday afternoon we stood on a rocky point of land with a grand view of the shallow harbor that is bodega bay between us and the far shore of the bay lay the famous san andreas fault our piece of land not too terribly long ago had been part of los angeles and it was scuttling along in the general direction of alaska in 1906 during the great san francisco earthquake it had moved in one jump 15 feet closer to anchorage the great san francisco earthquake was a tale for which the world was not yet prepared certainly san francisco and other cities and towns along the san andreas fault weren t prepared for it in 1906 few californians had any idea that they were living in an earthquake zone and fewer still had any idea what that meant or what to do about it in fact studies conducted in the years immediately after the 1906 earthquake established for the first time that earthquakes were caused by pieces of the earth s surface moving with respect to each other an idea that came as a nasty surprise to the scientists who had thought the earth s surface fixed and immovable it took another sixty years before scientists could agree on a theory plate tectonics to explain this movement meanwhile people built large and expensive buildings of unreinforced stone brick or concrete lit and heated mostly by open fires the san francisco fire chief argued in 1905 for a high pressure water system to help fight fires especially in the event of a big earthquake but was told the system was too expensive the san francisco fire department had an expert in the use of dynamite as a means of controlling major fires in cities but the expert was one of the earthquake s first casualties and there wasn t enough dynamite in stock to meet the need the other explosives used including old fashioned black powder actually helped spread the flames that destroyed most of the city remarkably aid reached the stricken areas quickly army troops were in san francisco within hours to keep order and assist with firefighting and other needs within days food and shelter were dispatched to san francisco and other hard hit regions few people went hungry and there were no major disease outbreaks rebuilding of san francisco began almost immediately though for a time people thought that the less hard hit cities to the east of san francisco berkeley and oakland would become the main bay area metropolises by the 1920s though it was clear that san francisco would regain its preeminence to be sure the u s president in 1906 was theodore roosevelt not george w bush the day after my visit to bodega bay a sunday i attended a service at the fancy church in berkeley my spiritual home away from home the church had sent a relief party to new orleans and on this day they were reporting their experiences to the congregation the dire and the joyful the litany of slow and unjust official responses to america s modern day noahic deluge and the scattered tales of courage and progress a parishioner asked why it was necessary or appropriate to send people to new orleans when there were plenty of local problems to be addressed the pastor responded that having seen what happens when a disaster is compounded by problems of social injustice at both the local and national levels at both the disaster planning and disaster relief stages she was motivated to identify and as much as possible address those issues in berkeley it was a good answer a century ago geological faults were scarcely understood and much evil resulted from this misunderstanding we now know much more and where we apply this knowledge much evil is averted it s significant that the biggest earthquake disaster of modern times the indian ocean quake and tsunami occurred where the lessons learned and technologies developed from studies of geological faults had not been applied too expensive like san francisco s high pressure water system in 1905 from san francisco and indonesia and new orleans we should be learning how to avert the evils of human faults posted by catherine carl
