Hello Kim .. I would like to see if theirs anyway you can do a update on Bobby Tennison .. he was murdered in January 2009 .. he was suppose to go to Alderpoint to finish a job he started … he got a ride from his son and his cousin on Friday ..the boys had a dirt bike they were going to sale their in Alderpoint .. they got their they met up with some guys that Bobby worked with …the boys sold the bike .. they had lunch after wards the boys was going to head back home .. Bobby told the boys that he was their to finish up a job .. and get paid money that was owed to him then he would catch the greyhound bus Monday back home to Keyes Cali .. ( I would like to no who these guys were Bobby met up with ) what happen to Bobby after that day remains a mystery.. someone knows what happen .. his parents received a call from some one that was friend of Bobby’s saying they got a call from a friend from Alderpoint telling them .. they killed bobby .. .. then the rummers started to spread around town that Bobby was killed .. no body was talking .. So Bobby’s parents done everything they could think of to find Bobby but it turned up no leads nothing .. the Humboldt police department was no help at all .. Bobby’s family and friends was crushed when the news got out about Bobby .. theirs friends no about what happen but their protecting someone .. their have been so many scenario’s but the truth still is unclear …

Prayers to those who live in Leilani, Nanawale, and Kapoho, as well as any/all others at risk in lower Puna.

May Pele show mercy. Let’s hope this doesn’t turn out to be as bad as the Kapoho fountains were 60+ yrs ago.

Get those earthquake kits ready, the geysers going off at the same time as this is no coincidence.
Even if the experts knew a big one was coming theyre not allowed to tell the public as it would create pandemonium. We have sucked the lube out of the earth and pulled water out of underground aquifers that are no longer penetrable thus leaving huge empty chambers underground that will collapse from even a small quake. Fracking has created earthquakes on faults that were previously inactive.

We’re past the point of no return so hold on tight and get your emergency plan together, stock up on food and medical supplies.

No worries about Yellowstone. The geyser is releasing pressure build up as it always does.
There are things of greater importance and urgency to be upset about.

Yikes!

Last Thursday I was in Volcano Nat’l park watching Kilauea spew lava into the air, and I felt a bit nervous… Flew home on Wednesday afternoon, and on Thursday? It blew…

Pele is angry, very angry. Beware!

I hope nobody is injured and that people don’t lose their homes. With that said, I would like to be able to safely see this in person. The raw power of nature is truly awesome.

People who build homes on an active volcano need no prayers😁😀😂🤣😃😄😅

Yeah, cause, ya know, you don’t live in a seismically active area, right? Or wildfire? Mudslides?

Not to mention all the damn tweakers…

So you think everyone else shouldn’t feel bad for you when your home collapses, is buried, burned, or invaded, just because you chose THIS SPOT to settle down in?

OK. Then I, for one, will not.

Were you here for the Dec. 19, 1964 floods Vet? Remember the town of Pepperwood? Should we have withheld our prayers for them for living too close to a river?
