So I was watching tv last night, which is something I do... practically never. I think it's happened twice in 6 months or something. (Though both times were this week, hm.) And while flipping channels, what should come on, but the most improbable program ever: Geologic Journey. I can't believe any non-Sqwook person out there was at all interested in a program called Geologic Journey.
So I learned about the remnants of the ancient Grenville mountains off of Lake Huron & Georgian Bay in the Thirty Thousand Island Archipelago (very cool metamorphic bands of swirling white and black rock), the Detroit salt mines (which I got to VISIT when I was a kid, how awesome is that), a not-at-all-decayed 8,000 year old cedar they pulled up from the bottom of the lake (8,000 years old! That's older than the pyramids!), AND how Anishinabe legends line up with the post-glacial geologic record.
