Last time I laid out a plot involving the SuperVolcano below old faithful nearing eruption and a wacky Volcanologist’s (yes, that is really a profession) old plan to stop it. This is wear the military gets involved. See, years ago he submitted the plan to the military and they shelved it based on cost and need. What he wanted to do was drill a hole near the core of the volcano and pump water down the shaft to keep the volcano stable. Another rival volcanologist had a different plan that was both cheaper and useful in other contexts. That guy went on to be a big shot at DARPA.
Of course the big shot is required to make the call to bring in our protagonist. So now we have an agitator (the DARPA dude), a protagonist, and all we need is a love interest. Ladies and gentlemen, may I present the park ranger. Yes, I know it sounds corny. It is corny, but we are talking about a tropetastic tale that, if written, is going to hit all the notes and sell like bottled water. Geyser Water.
Anyway, the Park Ranger is already working at Yellowstone and was involved in getting people clear of the Old faithful accident. She’s really good at her job and has practically lived at the park since she was a kid and her mom was a ranger. In fact, she’s been around so long that she knows about the caves below Yellowstone… That is going to come into play later.
For now…
Some Thoughts:
- Had to take the last minute to discuss the Giants loss. I almost gave up on the team as I watch them quite nearly quit on themselves and especially on their QB (why didn’t you get Bridgewater?!?!). The refs stole this game. This penalty on Landon Collins was really the difference in the game and it was flat out bogus.
