I’m a fan of TV law enforcement shows.
Weathered rocks have that familiar natural look, just like old wood.
I always like the anticipation and the hunt, not so much returning home at the end of field season.
My favorite season of the year is fall. In the high country, aspen leaves are a brilliant orange, the air is crisp and there’s a hint of snow in the air.

In geology, as in life, it’s useful to know the sequence of events to keep things in order; what happened first, is this older than that, was I watching episode 5 or 8 of Longmire?
My daughter is enthralled with the red rocks found around St. George, Utah and Sedona.
Mark Twain is credited to have said “a gold mine is a hole in the ground with a liar standing on top.” In my experience, this isn’t that far from the truth.
