Military encounters


The high comedy of the day came when Chris, the indiginant paleoseismologist, stormed the firing range demanding to see the commanding officer, and declaring that they couldn't begin their target practice because we needed to conduct a survey in the area. In their great benevolence the army granted us 15 minutes to do the survey while they finished preparations for their target practice. This led to soldiers making comments about "a live target", followed by laughter as I ran around the firing range with the survey pole.
