My earthquake preparedness book is out

-

 I finally published my book on earthquakes and preparedness.



If you're interested, it's on Amazon, https://www.amazon.com/Earthquake-What-Where-How-Prepare-ebook/dp/B08X1MBDY3

FYI, the link above is not an affiliate link. Depending on the price I may get a royalty from book purchases. I mention that because until tomorrow, March 13, the eBook is free (no royalty there). And, the paperback price is lowered temporarily (until early next week) to $7.00, which is the absolute lowest price Amazon will allow for this book ($0 royalty for me).

The paperback will be made available for possibly wider distribution next week, which will require raising the price by several dollars.

The listed price on Bowker, where book ISBNs are registered in the United States, is $24.99. I believe it's worth that. However, I know for some people money is tight. For others they're hesitant to spend money on a book by an unknown author. Thus, the free eBook promotion and low, low paperback price.

Coming Total Solar Eclipses in 2017 and 2024 for North America

The next two total solar eclipses that will pass over North America will occur August 21, 2017, and April 8, 2024. It's interesting to see the paths these eclipses will take. Aug 21, 2017 Solar Eclipse Map April 8, 2024 Solar Eclipse Map I realize the two eclipses are about 6 years and 8 months (nearly 7 years) apart, but my curiosity had to see where they would cross. Overlaid on top of each other, the crossing point is a lake between Pomona and Makanda, Illinois  (it's a bit blurry). While probably insignificant, when looking at the maps I noticed how close the Mississippi river is to this point. So, I had to do some research about the New Madrid fault, and was a little surprised about an apparent correlation between the quake damage map and the crossing point of the next two solar eclipses. We know that the sun has an effect on the production of large earthquakes. I'm just guessing, but the moon might have a minor effec...

Stretched-forth Necks

Recently I was reading in 2 Nephi chapter 13, one of the Isaiah chapters. I won't discuss all the verses, but one in particular stood out, verse 16: "Moreover, the Lord saith: Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, and walk with stretched-forth necks and wanton eyes, walking and mincing as they go, and making a tinkling with their feet." It is my understanding that when the scriptures refer to a specific people "of Zion," in this case "daughters of Zion," it is more in reference to members of the Church. It can certainly apply to people in a broader sense as well. But in a general sense, Zion is in reference to the land of America (more particularly North America) and Jerusalem refers to the land of Israel. So, "daughters of Zion" could refer to both members of the Church and those who live in America. Before I get into an impression/thought I had regarding verse 16, we need to define a few words. Too often we think we know what a...

All Nations Will Be Drunken with Iniquity

"But, behold, in the last days, or in the days of the Gentiles—yea, behold all the nations of the Gentiles and also the Jews, both those who shall come upon this land and those who shall be upon other lands, yea, even upon all the lands of the earth, behold, they will be drunken with iniquity and all manner of abominations—  "And when that day shall come they shall be visited of the Lord of Hosts, with thunder and with earthquake, and with a great noise, and with storm, and with tempest, and with the flame of devouring fire." - 2 Nephi 27:1-2 I have a journal I use to record some thoughts, impressions, ideas, etc. when I read in the scriptures. I don't write it in every day, but often enough. Yesterday the above verses were my focus, with specific interest on verse one. I've read the Book of Mormon on average once per year for the past 25 years, so I've read those verses a few times. This time the word "drunken" stood out. I realized it was...
