The Ground Feels Very Loose on the Washington Coast Along the Pacific


I was told the last tsunami that occurred was a result of the land falling into the ocean. It wasn’t an issue with the ocean waves crashing into the land. Instead the land moved or subluxated into the ocean by about 30 inches. This created a tsunami.

I have never felt the ground shake so much while sitting in my car around Raymond. I first started feeling the shaking when I got to Aberdeen. I never noticed the shaking north of it. But now, any large truck that drives by will shake my car pretty easily. Some large trucks can even be a block away I will feel the shaking ground.

Maybe I’m a little paranoid, its hard to tell. I just never recalled feeling the ground shake so much in Wisconsin, or even further north in Washington. It’s like all along the coast has a lot of loose ground. If you look around the coast line, there is a lot of mud, which developed. People refer to the muddy banks of the Wishkah in Aberdeen.

The water moves back and forth with the rising and lowering of the tide. It isn’t so much a river as an inlet or slough. You just have to be aware of the larger picture of what is going on with the water to understand the whole process.

I suspect a lot of muddying of the ground underneath. I think the deeper ground is a little looser. But I’m not sure, since I’m not a geologist.20140618-200312-72192559.jpg

Minecraft: The Night and Day Cycles Will Need to Change.


If Minecraft wants to simulate life and survival in the woods, why not make the days more like actual days. They could give us an option to set our time to the local time zone. Then, whatever natural light we have, that is what Minecraft also has. Its a matter of slowing down their short arbitrary night and day cycle. It can’t be too hard to change in the game.

I think it would be neat to have to battle monsters all night while it really is dark out. You could have about 12 hours straight of darkness and 12 hours of lightness. People should have that choice to manipulate time. But we shouldn’t just have to be limited by lengthening time either.

What if someone wanted 1 minute day and 10 minute night cycles? You could really mess with the day and night cycles and make it feel more like another planet. A person could have 30 second day and 30 second night cycles. That way the day and night would feel like a flash.

Its not like any of the features of the land conform to the day and night cycles. The monsters only spawn in shadows. You could have some interesting interactions with monsters but changing the time cycles. It all depends on how much you want to torture yourself.

I’m just a little bored and annoyed with the 10 minute day and 10 minute night cycles. I’m surprised I haven’t seen any mods to manipulate the lengths of those times. Maybe there is something. Usually when I think of something, I find out that someone thought of it at least 6 months before me.

It would also be interesting to switch a long time cycle by making it opposite times in Minecraft in comparison to reality. When its noon IRL, it can be midnight in Minecraft. So, when you are playing at night, it is day time all night in the game. That could really warp your sense of reality.

If you had 1 second day and 1 second night time, that would be interesting. I wonder how villagers would react to that?
