and now for something completely business-related ... my very first AEG meeting ... very very cool stuff involving that nasty earthquake in alaska about 6 months ago ... i wonder how geologists are supposed to dress for these meetings?  i figure that for work, i'm always dressed in dirty jeans, a field vest, and hiking boots, but this is a dinner/presentation for crying out loud ... time to bust out the snazzy business-casual attire ...

i'm not done moving into sexy-jason's former room ...
but i'm trying my best to keep the sexy-ness alive and well ...

and what dinner/presentation would be complete without the dinner part?
tri-tip steaks ROCK MY SOCKS ...
god bless geologists ... they sure know how to grub ...

and speaking of geologists, look who i bumped into at the meeting ...
hooray for mapping partner and geo-pat ...

and i saw this little girl with a bowl of meat ...
a geologist in the making ... at least she's starting off with the right diet ...
i tried to get her to follow me around the room so i could grab some meat at my leisure ...
but like most girls i meet, she wouldn't take any crap from me ...

and you know that this is a geologist's meeting ...
when the raffle prizes are bottles of alcohol ...
god bless geology ...

and this is for all those california geologists out there ...
i got a picture with the 92-year-old legendary mapping ... um ... legend ...
TOM DIBBLEE
he single-handed-ly mapped about a quarter of the state of california ...
it's like touching jesus ...
or maybe just a very very old man ...

and the presentation was awesome too with some relevant info regarding southern-california faults ... i guess if i could sum up his presentation in one sentence ... southern california is screwed ...

sweet dreams ...
