Next stop in Hollister to check out a creeping portion of the Calaveras Fault. (Yes, yes, @xenolith.bsky.social I admit Hollister’s have their faults). Check out the right lateral offsets in town!
Concrete drainage gully in an asphalt alley that is offset to the right where it crosses the Calaveras Fault. Sidewalk in front of a cool Victorian house. The sidewalk has been offset in the right lateral fashion by about 10 inches or so.The most famous right lateral offset feature in the town of Hollister is the concrete retaining wall in front of somebody’s front yard that was built circa 1945 and has been offset from the straight section of the wall about 40 inches. Quick math shows that that’s about a half inch of slip per year over the 80 years to offset it that much.

What's he building in there? With that hook light on the stairs. What's he building in there?
A large tongue shape made of masking tape with wires running through it, laying mostly flat on a table. I've bent and curved the masking tape and wire tongue into a dramatic arc shape.

FOR A STUDENT WHO USED Al
TO WRITE A PAPER
Now I let it fall back in the grasses.
I hear you. I know this life is hard now.
I know your days are precious on this earth.
But what are you trying to be free of?
The living? The miraculous task of it?
Love is for the ones who love the work.

In March 1993, a newspaper in Novato, CA held a contest for elementary school children to submit their ideas for candy bars, then ran a whole page to celebrate them, because as a society we used to value whimsy and creativity. Anywho, take a peek through this 🧵and see what they came up with!
