angliagt Posted January 25, 2023 Report Share Posted January 25, 2023 Idiots! - What if a huge chunk broke loose? It would have been smarter to take video from down the beach. This is just like when the announce a Tsunami warning,and some people have to go down to the beach to watch it. 1 Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted January 26, 2023 Report Share Posted January 26, 2023 It's not rock is it? More like loosely compressed and fractured rubble and clay? Shatters when rolling down. The tide comes all the way into toe of the slope? This is similar to the Pacifica? erosion??? Quote Link to comment

Been a lot of rain that way so the ground is saturated, which both increases the weight and makes landslides easier. I feel like you used to hear about landslides/mudslides a lot in California in the early 80s which they took some steps to fix. 1 Quote Link to comment

bottomwatcher Posted January 27, 2023 Report Share Posted January 27, 2023 Pretty impressive filming, better than the local news with thier time constraints. Things are a changing. Luckily there weren't any homes involved. 1 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted January 27, 2023 Report Share Posted January 27, 2023 I doubt they are allowed to build on that. But you never know. (California and $$$) 1 Quote Link to comment

(California and $$$) There are a few area's like Santa Cruz and Pacifica that have houses on cliffs, because they were not on the cliff when it was built. In Santa Cruz there are portions of east cliff drive missing. https://goo.gl/maps/FTW1bxRhvCwJ9KR7A Edited January 27, 2023 by Ooph! 1 Quote Link to comment

a.d._510_n_ok Posted February 3, 2023 Report Share Posted February 3, 2023 Started a new job a few months back. A man who clearly has an alcohol abuse problem emits the odor of alcohol pretty frequently but especially after a session in the sandblasting booth. Fuck it. I'll just ignore it. I ain't about breaking nobody's rice bowl.. He's got 17 years out here and probably facing an unwanted early retirement if I believe the shop gossip. I eat lunch with him and three other guys in a small break room every day. I bring a lot of canned oysters, sardines, kipper etc for lunch because I like 'em, they don't trigger a post-meal calorie coma in me + they tote easy. Some folks don't like the smell of these things so I always ask if anyone minds me eating them. No one ever has. Had kippers yesterday. Drunk got up and walked away without saying a word. Didn't think nothing of it. After lunch the lead man hunts me down with a constipated look on his face. Says he got a complaint from someone about my food and would I mind eating somewhere else when I bring canned seafood. Sure. Fuck it. Drunk is gone before end of shift but as I'm clocking out I tell the three other guys I won't be eating with them anymore and tell them why. "ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS RIGHT NOW!?! You know that's an unreasonable request, right!?!". Sure. Aint up for fighting silliness at 53. Next day the drunk can't look me in the eye but is running up to random people, ripping loud facts and laughing as they retch. My form federal boss (still a fed boss on Sill btw) was livid as was my sister who had worked for the post office since 1999. Wants me to hit HR up. No, I ain't doing that. Ignore booze on a man's breath and he reports my stinky fish....I just.....these are oilfield roughnecks btw! 2 1 Quote Link to comment

bottomwatcher Posted February 5, 2023 Report Share Posted February 5, 2023 Well I am down in the Fl Keys poking around on my sailboat. This is the "other" border. The Cubans and Haitians have been flooding in on their "Chugs" home made boats made to make one trip. Some are actually pretty clever bolting a u joint to a flywheel to run a shaft and put a plumbing elbow behind the prop to provide cooling water. This used a twin v aircooled engine and I am guessing the other engine is a pump. Must be pretty desperate to load up in one of these to go 90 miles across the gulfstream. Since I am in Jimmy Buffet territory of course he has a song about it. 1 Quote Link to comment

angliagt Posted February 11, 2023 Report Share Posted February 11, 2023 That's just like some people on the Outer Banks,in North Carolina. They warn you not to park your vehicles below the high tide mark.We watched someone franticly trying to move their Suburban as the tide was coming in. They barely got it out in time.Cheap entertainment. 1 Quote Link to comment
