Robinesque Ruminations

reply to post by Robin Marks

Yes I read it. I would think that Jacob B. and the rest of USGS would have something to say about such activity. Maybe they haven't seen that info yet. ......or maybe they have. We will see.

Since I stand accused of spreading info, here is another item for you to check out. www.esa.int...

There, take that!

I'm out of juice. I'm so close to having people realize the truth. But it's obvious the enemy is fully entrenched. And in control of the high ground. Vimy Ridge. We need a coordinated progressive attack. Reheasal and timed execution. Where do we get the artillery from. I know what kind of artillery we need. But it's almost impossible to get. We need a big gun. We need some sort of expert or authority to stand with us. Mission Impossible I think. You know who you are.

I betcha Scott Ausbrook doesn't sleep too well at night.

Ausbrook is now spouting off to the Associated Press.

Scott Ausbrooks, seismologist for the Arkansas Geological Survey, said Sunday's record quake was at the "max end" of what scientists expect to happen, basing that judgment on this swarm and others in the past. It's possible that a quake ranging from magnitude 5.0 to 5.5 could occur, but anything greater than that is highly unlikely, he said. Ausbrooks said he plans to hold a town hall meeting in Greenbrier next month to address people's concerns.

Thought you might be interested in this, Robin and guys: Arkansas Halts New Frackers. Looks like they finally got the message... partially. No new wells, but the old ones can keep on frackin'. I guess they think the drilling is more likely to cause quakes than the actual, you know... forcible shattering of bedrock... sigh. But it's something.

reply to post by Thought Provoker


Things are changing fast, here's the real good news is that they are having an emergency meeting tomorrow.

www.businessweek.com...

I have a feeling that even if they stopped fracking as of yesterday that the damage has already been done.

Yes.

Why am I writing here?
Not really sure why. I've been watching closely and reading my big thread without commenting. But I can't bring myself to say anything. My son is doing the landry at the moment. He's seven. I can see him and it is making this bearable and - and somewhat comical. Better he than me, he's having an adventure. I would just be bored.

It's impossible to know when the shut down the pumps on the injector wells. The quakes were quiet and now they're picking up again. So without knowing the procedure for a temporary shut down, there's no good way to monitor the effect and make any corrleations.

That's not what's bugging me and preventing me from putting my ideas on the Arkansas thread. It's the moon. The moon is presently above Arkansas. As it started to reach the area, the activity increased.

Damn, I wanted the quakes to stop cold. That may still happen and there may be a halt in a few days. That would be nice. It would hard to argue for injection again if it stops soon after the pumps cease.

But even if the injection wells were the cause, it doesn't mean the quakes will stop soon. The injection well have been the trigger. The rest is natural. If the trend continues and the halt in injections has stopped. There may be other systems stressed. And honestly, the moon on the 19th, um don't know the right word, the moon, concerns me. Please don't bring this up on the Arkansas thread. I don't want to be right. And I don't want to alarm needlessly.

Because I didn't notice many microsiesmic noise. Not like just before the 4.7 mag. That was wierd and I haven't been able to shake it. There's something important in that. Got some ideas, but nothing concrete.

There's a complex mix of factors. And the relationship involved is so hard to pin down. Still haven't totally understood what happened at Yellowstone during the two swarms. The best I can figure is that there is a pumping action.

I have very little left to give. I've been working real hard on the Arkansa thread for the last few weeks. I want to excorsize the demons. I got some other things to do. Important things. But this whole story was just too important to ignore.

I'll try to watch silently. And I will only pop on Arkansas to let them know I'm still thinking about them. Unless, the big picture in developes into something I can see clearly. Right now it's like a polariod. You can see some images, but you can't make out the identity of the people and shapes. I'm fuzzy.

I know Susan is sitting right on top of the fault. The whole town of Greenbier is shaking. The quakes before were mostly to the northeast. I was tracking the locations of those and they were in a rural area. Some were in peoples backyards. But many more were in remote fields and woodlots. The reason for the dramatic change in public action is because now it's right on the doorstep of a town. Knocking and want to come in.

I've been a good soldier. I've been marching. If you aren't going to become a clear image, get out of my head. I need my head at the moment. If I need to raise another alarm and sound an alert, I need a good thick tether. Not some skinny wirey cord to hang myself with. I need a study. So hard fact. Some correlations that make it undeniable. Not my hunchs.

Watch the weather. Watch the webicorders. Watch the moon. If there is a pattern. You will see it. Go back and discover Enola. It's there. Find the website on tides that talked about fluid dynamics. Listen.

I just reconsidered my position. March 19 will be interesting, but nothing will happen. For some reason, when I look to the new moon at apogee on April 2nd and 3rd, I am unnerved. At least this isn't early January, late December.

I saw a story about dead fish on the local news tonight. Looks like many many thousands have died, and has continued since December. Too close to home though, and too far from the New Madrid. Things are starting to get real creepy. blogpublic.lib.msu.edu...

I found this link to more detailed discussion of the Michigan fish kill problem. Looks to be bigger than I thought.
www.detnews.com...

I've got a bad feeling. I was really hoping the bigger quakes would stop. The cluster that occured recently was smaller. But there's been a couple pops which lead me to think there's another one brewing. And according to my tidal thinking, (there's always a bit of a lag) things are building. Even the lower energy in the earlier cluster could mean that the energy that wasn't release then, will only add to the next event. Here's to hoping I'm wrong. I don't want to post on Arkansas. This is just therapy. Expel the thought, and it's gone. At least for awhile. And besides, I don't want to needlessly worry anyone, and I'm not in this for the predictions. I make them. But it's not to show off. I'm trying to document my thinking so I can check back later to see if I'm on the right track- or, totallly off base.

be off base

Robin, your heart is in the right place.
But our brains were getting fried from the intensity of the discussions and the volume of information and the excitement that we are getting media and governments attention. There is another leg to this transition, you said it yourself, the backlash from Big Oil companies. It's happening, the denial from paid off experts to speak in favor of the wrong. It's happening. It may or not be a hard week indeed. but we need to be clear, sane, rested, and we can't be prepared for the backlash if we are not everyone of these.
I didn't want to take last week off when I took my ageing mother on a trip 4 states away to see my oldest brother. Because that was intense too. But that time without posting everyday, lightened up the tension and now am back and able to refocus on AK with some new clarity and perspective. It will still be here, literally take 3-4 days off and do not cheat really do not open the forums. Take your son to an art museum, we loved our visit. Find what kinds of art he gravitates toward, he may surprise you, share with him your likes, take pictures of him with his favs. We will be here when you get back, and you too will have new perspective and possibly insights that occur when you step back and relax, new things come to the surface in our thoughts.
I can only hope we each can find a healthy balance because our topic is so intense because lives and beautiful land are at risk. That's this nations greatest resource, its people and its lands. So please, you don't even need to tell us, take a home vacation, do a day trip, or day camping. Please take care of yourself and your family, I want others involved in our discussions to do the same. I feel better now that my concerns and stress have gotten a balance to counter the weight on my shoulders, but now I got my mother's needs across my back, gonna figure our how I'm gonna survive that.

take care friend, ps did you see I contacted Erin Brockovich? It was late Friday, so I expect by Mon or Tues, if shes gonna contact us back that would be the earliest, but again could be a couple weeks, till she opens up her schedule to devote time to it, we will still be here....

I would be cautious about watching the weather. Also, be very careful with any information the government offers. We have to filter out misleading information and allow for dis-information. Just sayin....

Yes, I've noticed all your work. And yes, I'm stepping back. Going ice fishing. Nature is art.

Ground control to Major Tom
Ground control to Major Tom
Take your protein pills and put your helmet on

Ground control to Major Tom
Commencing countdown, engines on
Check ignition and may God's love be with you

Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five
Four, three, two, one, liftoff

This is ground control to Major Tom
You've really made the grade
And the papers want to know whose shirts you wear
Now it's time to leave the capsule if you dare

This is Major Tom to ground control
I'm stepping through the door
And I'm floating in a most peculiar way
And the stars look very different today

For here
Am I sitting in a tin can
Far above the world
Planet earth is blue
And there's nothing I can do

Though I'm past one hundred thousand miles
I'm feeling very still
And I think my spaceship knows which way to go
Tell me wife I love her very much
(She knows)

Ground control to Major Tom
Your circuits dead, there's something wrong
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you . . .

Here am I floating round my tin can
Far above the moon
Planet earth is blue
And there's nothing I can do

"Karma Police"

Karma police, arrest this man
He talks in myths
He buzzes like a fridge
He's like a detuned radio

Karma police, arrest this girl
Her Hitler hairdo is
Making me feel ill
And we have crashed her party

This is what you get
This is what you get
This is what you get when you mess with us

Karma police
I've given all I can
It's not enough
I've given all I can
But we're still on the payroll

This is what you get
This is what you get
This is what you get when you mess with us

And for a minute there, I lost myself, I lost myself
Phew, for a minute there, I lost myself, I lost myself

For for a minute there, I lost myself, I lost myself
Phew, for a minute there, I lost myself, I lost myself

Please could you stop the noise, I'm trying to get some rest
From all the unborn chicken voices in my head
What's that...? (I may be paranoid, but not an android)
What's that...? (I may be paranoid, but not an android)

When I am king, you will be first against the wall
With your opinion which is of no consequence at all
What's that...? (I may be paranoid, but no android)
What's that...? (I may be paranoid, but no android)

Ambition makes you look pretty ugly
Kicking and squealing gucci little piggy
You don't remember
You don't remember
Why don't you remember my name?
Off with his head, man
Off with his head, man
Why don't you remember my name?
I guess he does....

Rain down, rain down
Come on rain down on me
From a great height
From a great height... height...
Rain down, rain down
Come on rain down on me
From a great height
From a great height... height...
Rain down, rain down
Come on rain down on me

TThat's it, sir
You're leaving
The crackle of pigskin
The dust and the screaming
The yuppies networking
The panic, the vomit
The panic, the vomit
God loves his children, God loves his children, yeah!

A heart that's full up like a landfill
A job that slowly kills you
Bruises that won't heal

You look so tired and unhappy
Bring down the government
They don't, they don't speak for us
I'll take a quiet life
A handshake of carbon monoxide

No alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises
Silent, silent

This is my final fit, my final bellyache with

No alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises please

Such a pretty house, such a pretty garden

No alarms and no surprises (let me out of here)
No alarms and no surprises (let me out of here)
No alarms and no surprises please (let me out of here)

Looks like you found your zen.
Must have been some kind of Ice Fishing trip, glad you are back!

reply to post by SunflowerStar


Today I got a new doctor. From his reaction, I am certain he has never met anyone like me before. Unique and complex, seemed to be his only solid impressions. To me there was nothing new in that. He, and others, are trying to find my zen. I keep telling them that I have no zen. I've never been content for more than a few mintues at any one time. The sole exceptions are the birth of my two sons and experiences I've had with them. But that is not exactly zen. A parent is too busy fixing the nest to stop and admire a view.

Since I cannot carve up my days and look for this zen, it must be all around me and I must be part of that.
It's all zen.
All the time.

Even when I'm raging.

If anyone is here in my room right now, let me know you're here. I'll hang around for awhile. I've got something terrible to tell you. Something terrible indeed. My worst imagined nightmare may be coming true.

I am about to let loose another barrage. I was right about Arkansas. Damn right. They stopped the injections, the earthquakes stopped. Go fracing figure. I knew what was happening in Arkansas by January 3rd. Everyone else caught up to me by late February. I may start another thread. My first one seemed to prove I can communicate. So maybe I should do it again. But I'm reluctant. My doubts are my balance.


If you're here, now, I'll tell you first.
Just let me know if you want to hear it. I may not want to talk about it later. Much later. The Arkansas story isn't over. I just didn't expect the new front to open so soon. I was wrong. I see signs of smoke.

I for one am very interested in what you have to say.
Thanks
