Tim Dawson @timblor.bsky.social · 05/10/2026The wind must have shifted and blown some of the wildfire smoke to the south in Yosemite, because it was much clearer driving back on Hwy 120 than it was on Thurs. 090
Tim Dawson @timblor.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Sunrise to sunrise on the Friends of the Pleistocene trip to Mono Basin. 3678
Tim Dawson @timblor.bsky.social · 12/09/2026Currently practicing for the post-earthquake water outages because the water main on our street broke and we are without water. Imagine this scaled up by multiple orders of magnitude due to an earthquake. Hmmm, when was the last time I changed out our emergency water? Oh no… 4313
Tim Dawson @timblor.bsky.social · 09/09/2026As usual, I’m grossed out by the capitulation of corporate America to someone who continues to abuse the power of their elected office. 2325
Tim Dawson @timblor.bsky.social · 06/09/2026Not your everyday text alert in San Francisco for our neighborhood. Loose mountain lion! 090
Tim Dawson @timblor.bsky.social · 03/09/2026I had a fantastic view of the Blackhawk Landslide in Lucerne Valley while leaving Palm Springs. PSP-SFO always has some of the best views from the air. The AGU Landslide blog had a nice post about the slide a while back: blogs.agu.org/landslideblo... 0151
Tim Dawson @timblor.bsky.social · 29/08/2026In memory of Dolly Parton, the Giants are currently losing 9-5 to AZ. 0102
Tim Dawson @timblor.bsky.social · 29/08/2026As much as I love watching the Giants on tv when we can get a game, this one is not been one I think I can keep on. From the first pitch it has been bad. 000
Tim Dawson @timblor.bsky.social · 25/08/2026Johnny Cash was definitely a larger than life figure. 020
Tim Dawson @timblor.bsky.social · 24/08/2026Some good evening sunset action with sky, clouds, fog, and the moon. 180
Tim Dawson @timblor.bsky.social · 21/08/2026This hawk was hanging out in the backyard and I had enough time to grab my camera for some photos. 290
Tim Dawson @timblor.bsky.social · 17/08/2026Wishing my feline bestie @palmercatsf.bsky.social very happy 16th birthday! 1163
Tim Dawson @timblor.bsky.social · 15/08/2026It is never enough mulch. Never. Always one bag short… 030
Tim Dawson @timblor.bsky.social · 15/08/2026Maybe they will feature the pride of the United States Air Force…the British-made Harrier jump jet! 000
Tim Dawson @timblor.bsky.social · 13/08/2026An excellent field review day with @earthjay.bsky.social and @miltonshaky.bsky.social in their trench across the Shively fault in Humboldt County. 2305
Tim Dawson @timblor.bsky.social · 10/08/2026Because Icelandic Tuxedo cats seem to be a theme, here is one we saw in Reykjavik last year. 160
Tim Dawson @timblor.bsky.social · 02/08/2026Maybe it is because they usually blend in so well with the environment and are rarely seen, but I always appreciate seeing a stick bug. 1130
Tim Dawson @timblor.bsky.social · 02/08/2026The raccoons have not only eaten most of the pond fish, but now use the netting as a trampoline. 5203
Tim Dawson @timblor.bsky.social · 01/08/2026Oh wow, I thought this was a @nytpitchbot.bsky.social headline. 020
Tim Dawson @timblor.bsky.social · 27/07/2026Nearly full moon in the last light of a windy Sunday. 1100
Tim Dawson @timblor.bsky.social · 26/07/2026A fine day on the Sonoma Coast at Salt Point SP. was able to get there before the crowds and the wind really picked up. 0171
Tim Dawson @timblor.bsky.social · 14/07/2026And a view of the iconic @sutrotower.bsky.social during the same sunset 060
Tim Dawson @timblor.bsky.social · 08/07/2026“A typical construction mishap”? This seems like a very atypical incident to me. 010
Tim Dawson @timblor.bsky.social · 06/07/2026Did they rebuild the Wall of Sound at the Hollywood Bowl?? @thebanderson.bsky.social 🤣 010
Tim Dawson @timblor.bsky.social · 02/07/2026Finally, a view of Mt Rainier (with Mt Rainier tissue box dispenser for scale) @phaneritic.bsky.social 1332
Tim Dawson @timblor.bsky.social · 02/07/2026Spent the morning wandering around the Mima Mounds Natural Area Preserve near Olympia. No one is sure how these were formed, but hypotheses include glacial/permafrost processes, earthquakes (which I don’t think is likely), and rodent activity. 1182
Tim Dawson @timblor.bsky.social · 01/07/2026Day 3 and still no sun. We’ve had to resort to our Rainier/Tahoma tissue box dispenser to remind us of the view if it were clear. @phaneritic.bsky.social 170
Tim Dawson @timblor.bsky.social · 28/06/2026I think I have 10 minutes to grill dinner on the BBQ before the rain hits the inlet as it blows in from the NE. 190
Tim Dawson @timblor.bsky.social · 27/06/2026Big thanks to the organizers of the @cascadiaeqs.bsky.social Partnerships and Applications meeting in Portland. It was a productive two days building relationships across disciplines and learning about what the needs are for each group that attended. Hope we do this again. 020
Tim Dawson @timblor.bsky.social · 25/06/2026The USGS PAGER alerts are always my first check on how bad a large earthquake might be. Today’s earthquakes in Venezuela are a punch in the gut. 56724
Tim Dawson @timblor.bsky.social · 21/06/2026I think I found a fix for trump’s Reflecting Pool problems. 010
Tim Dawson @timblor.bsky.social · 20/06/2026The Palace of Fine Arts is really impressive in the evening light. I so rarely make it over there, but maybe I should visit more often. 1110
Tim Dawson @timblor.bsky.social · 18/06/2026I spent the afternoon at the Association of Bay Area Governments HQ in San Francisco with @drwendyrocks.bsky.social who presented an update to local planners and building officials about our latest earthquake fault zone maps. It was super informative to meet with the people that use these maps. 5487
