Coal lay in ledges under the ground since the Flood, until a laborer
with pick and windlass brings it to the surface. We may will call it
black diamonds. Every basket is power and civilization. For coal is
a portable climate.

I noted last night a measure of controvery about the source of the
effect. Some say not seiesmic some say so. What if it was a gas
explosion following a large amount of blasting causing a collapse?
That would give three different signals to mess around with. |

It sounds to me like the lawyers have gotten involved and everyone is
saying what will look good when it gets into court. |

I remember Reagan administration officials calling some Russian
seismic events nuclear tests even when respected, published
seismologists identified them as fault-base quakes.
Courts do not necerssary determine science, but agreed reproduceablity
and interpretation of data. |

That's true about the courts, and especially so here because there is
someone involved who is already fired up at the scientists and
probably ready to smack anybody he can with a lawsuit. This is the
start of a marathon run on egg shells, for sure.
Don't care about all that, since fortunately it doesn't impact me
directly, but I do hope those miners are okay and that their family
has somebody in the company supporting them right now.
I know nothing whatsoever about the geological structure of the area;
am not even sure if it is in the Basin and Range (though I think it
all is), but doubt, given that young crust and the separation of the
two events by a couple degrees of latitude and longitude, that the
Nevada quake had any direct influence on what happened in Utah. It's
just interesting.

I didn't write because in the corps I took mining engineering of all
things and, you know, they, they graduate a mining engineer as a sort
of an illiterate.

My father, a mining engineer and colliery manager, gave his brood many
advantages not least of which, for me, was his love of singing which
gave music a central place in our lives.
