HI Wormhole and everyone - I'm in the Portland, OR area, just found this particular thread - I've been posting elsewhere... I am a Geogolist by training but also work in wetland science, botany, with understanding of hydrogeology, mineralogy, trace minerals, and soil science; I am an Optimstic Skeptic of sorts; but am planning just the same. My husband also is a Geologist but has a keen interest and capability in physics, astronomy, and statistics (particulary economic stats- go figure) - he's much more of a skeptic than I so far he thinks this is a bunch of hoo-eey. I am sure he will thank me later!
