Due to my current case of brain numbness, I'm not making fun of this project any more. This is just a faithful narrative of an interesting project. Everybody is just doing the best they can.
Today they are starting to install their huge cache of silt barriers. These look wonderful on a project, and are very pretty. They make people feel good, like binging on organic ethanol mixed with organic fructose. There will soon be a big pile of these gravel silt filters.
ps. Today all the underwater silt bags are gone, and they are back to rearranging piles. I'm glad they are so happy.

Another funk time
Thus endeth a very good run. I had Fark pick up my seismic noise testing post for some weird reason and got hundreds of hits on that. I've perfected my accelerometer and it has to go to server-side processing which I won't do. Winter has set in again, stopping my geotechnical nightmares. Nothing to do.
OK will delay it's action while the NE freezes. No trucks of gas frack waste coming in.
The worst thing for an intellectual depressive to do is to let the stupidity of the world get to you. All the money of the world is controlled by stupidity, who set up offshore accounts and broadcast it to the world. I fight the good fight with laughter, but sometimes it gets through. The next big OK earthquake usually revives me.
ps. I am rejecting all stupidity and am at peace with the universe.

Accelerometers for Third World Oklahoma
Tired of being victims of the oil companies and Donald Trump? Then do something. Start installing accelerometers on your miserable house slab. When the chimney falls down, have a recording. Those in Oklahoma City, you're in prime Pancake Country. Wouldn't you want some readings as your legacy?
You can do this! I've already laid the groundwork of hooking up chip accelerometers with a Raspberry Pi. The final step of recording on files is boring for me. You could have a live feed of the accelerometer readings on the internet (note the lower case as per the new style guidelines). I can't do this since I live in boring old Toronto which only has a chance of a destructive earthquake as 1 in 500 per year. You in OK have a 100% chance within a year or two.
Even California is useless for this. All their buildings that could fall down have already done so in previous earthquakes. You don't want to go to India or Montreal because their stuff falls down on their own, due to Playdough concrete.
So, no matter how you look at it, the burden is on you guys. Rise to the occasion. Plant little accelerometer seeds everywhere, and they will grow to wonderful knowledge!
ps. You can glue down your old Android phone, and run an earthquake app.
