The Tectonics of Love


"I'm leaving you, Bill," she said,
"but I'm doing it slowly."
The living room moved north,
and she went with it.
I stayed put,
sipping my tea
at the dining room table.
of all my faults,
the San Andreas was probably the biggest
and it was tearing our family apart.

loose continents
on this world
to visit distant lands
just wait a bit

some call it professional tectonics

Dear Friend


Sell your west-coast real estate
BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!

The Americas and the
Asia-Pacific Rim will
exchange harsh words indeed,
blows even,
when they meet in just a few 100 million years.
Remember the India-Central Asia grudge match
back in the Eocene?
It wasn't pretty!!!

THIS throwdown is going to make THAT one
look like a TEA PARTY!

Now paying top dollar
for distressed property.
Sorry, CA, OR, WA only.

The day the earth froze solid


* we lost our magnetic personality
* ocean-floor garbage stayed where the sun shines
* California put plans to visit Alaska on hold
* earthquakes & tsunami became like short people
* later, things turned chilly beneath us
