Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for April 14, 2016

Geology, actually, Denver after all was once at the bottom of a sea!

Three words…Location, location, location.

Barry has the best surf shop for hundreds of miles.

Coming soon: The Great Nebraska Sea.

I need to print up and start selling t-shirts reading “Winnemucca Yacht Club”.

Never say “never.” Stuff happens.

Barry’s just getting ready for the wave of customers that will be showing up any century now.

Don’t step in the cowabunga.

Holy heck. Can’t even get away from the religious BS on a comic strip website. Go somewhere else to debate this nonsense and leave the rest of us here to laugh.

They once thought that about Lake Havasu, too, but now look at the over crowded waterway, the retail centers blocking the shore line, and the cookie cutter ‘adobe’ look subdivisions eating up the space. Be careful what you wish for.

Ray Stevens also had fun with this idea:

Must be lonely until the flash floods come.

Lex Luthor: Miss Teschmacher, when I was six years old my father said to me… Miss Teschmacher: “Get out!” Lex Luthor: [laughing] Before that. He said, “Son, stocks may rise and fall, utilities and transportation systems may collapse. People are no damn good, but they will always need land and they will pay through the nose to get it! Remember,” my father said… Otis: “… land.”

Not climatology; geology. Where will the oceanfront be after the San Andreas and Cascadia events?

Maybe not too far away? Boarding down a steep sand dune can be quite challenging. But the wipe outs tend to be a bit rough on the skin! Probably won’t catch on.

Barry’s always been ahead of the curve. It’s just that he has a tendency to build on a straightaway.

His Field of Dreams is more like his Desert of Delusions

It’s O.K. Barry, if you build it, they will come……eventually !

SURF’S UP !

I suspect he is confusing what once was, with what might be…..

Any change big enough to cause something like that to happen in a single individual’s lifetime would probably be memorialized by the ending of that lifetime.

Coyotes need haircuts, too!

Shucks, Barry; you’ve certainly got the right entrepreneurial spirit there! I mean, after all: the ocean very well could (possibly) come back there to what are now the western High Plains! You know, I have been reading (here and there) about some various End-Time prophecies of the world being washed over with water again; only the righteous being Saved, so on, etc. — sometime, who knows? (LOL!)

Saturday afternoon in Arizona.

At least he won’t be bothered by annoying customers..

It’s a wave function.

In the State of Florida the terms “global warming” and “climate change” are officially banned from state documents. Denial will make the problem go away. It is ironic since if sea levels rise by 300 feet (as they have in past epochs) , Florida would be reduced to a tiny island 12 feet above water off the coast of Alabama.

Try looking at the past ten thousand years, and the trend of glacial recession, sea rise, inland aridity and rising average temperatures becomes quite obvious.If you cannot decide how best to deflect the brutal attacks of my comments, it may be only due to their being objective observations without malice aforethought.

Backin the 70s, when everyone was expecting “The BIG One” to drop the Western half of Cali into the Pacific, I bought a house in Atwater, CA. Never did live up to its name.

Does your calculation include the fact that the temperature rise required to create the desired redistribution of water resources to inland reserves must be realized by sacrificing inland habitat, and that the unprecedented levels of GHGs can save some of that inland habitat and enable the surface of the Earth to harbor more lives than it does in places such as the Saharan Desert, which used to be the Saharan Great Lakes and grasslands, and will be again after the warming is completed?It is sheer folly to spare millions of lives and retain thousands of acres of arable lands during the warming sequence?Is this because you hate capitalism, industry and human kind in general?

Most of North America was under water at some time. Seashell fossils are found from the East Coast to the West Coast.

Looks like Barry needs to sell water along with his sand surf boards.
