Have you felt any earthquakes in Idaho yet?


So in the last week they have been feeding us news about the earthquakes in Yellowstone Park. Underneath Yellowstone Lake to be exact. It is in national news and the local news. A couple of summers ago I spent a day hiking with Ed Williams who is considered an expert on volcanoes and earthquakes. He is now retired. He told us about the lake and how it is starting to tilt and drain out the southern end due to volcanic activity. Sure enough in our last visit to Yellowstone you can see this for yourself. Not to alarm anyone (including myself) but the experts are starting to be concerned about the high volume of quakes occurring. I have for the last year tracked earthquakes around the world on a daily basis. I have found it very interesting to watch the patterns. I keep a link on my home page that I look at daily. Check it out by clicking on the link.

A New Year with good things ahead!

There is just something nice about new...new babies, new years, new experiences that is just plain...new and fun. We are looking forward to all the new things in store for 2009. Two new grand babies, new travels in South America. New experiences to challenge and refresh us. A new Rexburg Medical Center, a new Madison Memorial Hospital. A nice fresh start to everything.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
