This would make a wicked time lapse photo location, though you'd probably have to use a high precision GPS to align where you put the camera every day. 4 inches per day I think the lady said in the video... Amazed it all doesn't run straight to the sea in one fell swoop. #disasters #landslide #PalosVerdes

Today, tomorrow
A Saturday in May?
Ten years from now,
Perhaps a hundred, they say
Aunt Margaret walks out
And the ground rumbles and rolls
The fence falls down
Startles all the moles
The whole neighborhood goes sliding
Out to the sea
Could be the rain, an earthquake
Most important--just flee!

(A poem I have composed for the occasion, LOL)

"The Palos Verdes debris avalanche is the largest, by volume, late Quaternary mass-wasted deposit recognized from the inner California Borderland basins. Early workers speculated that the sediment failure giving rise to the deposit is young, taking place well after sea level reached its present position."

"The Portuguese Bend landslide, in coastal southern California, is an active, slow-moving mass of blocks and debris that extends from the shoreline to moderate altitudes along part of the southerly margin of the Palos Verdes Hills... Ground failure has been widespread in this area. It evidently began in mid- to late-Pleistocene time, and it has continued intermittently to the present." #pleistocene #landslide #PortugueseBend #PalosVerdes sciencedirect.com/science/arti

I'm honored to be talking this Friday about #caregiving, #grief, #dementia, and #FindingtheRightWords at the #Canterbury Senior Residence in #PalosVerdes. This book with #Dr.BruceMiller of #UCSF has many audiences, and we had all of them in mind as we wrote it. Those with #dementia and #caregivers are among the most important (#doctors and #litstudies people, #medhums, too), but we especially hope to reach the ones loving and caring everyday for people with dementia. #EndAlz
