Milo2, think GLACIATION! The Dr. knew of the massive glaciation that literally pushed MOUNTAIN TOPS into the Northern Pacific. IMO: He relied on the PEBBLE BEACH, realizing that He discovered the CALDARA therory while living and PROFESSORING in ARIZONA. In Universities Geology Professors hear alot about mining projects that are going on. Him being a GOOD FRIEND of record with a CEO with the LOGO, JB, decided to have a fling at somthing BIG that HE smoked out from His tenor at the "U". Dr. thinks like this, hey my good friend JB has a good head on his sholders(Maybe he does go to VEGAS too often but HEY)so let me tell my friend JB about my therory. Perhaps he would rather fly up to AK for this weekend rather than going to VEGAS. Milo2,I know you are getting my drift! The rest is history for the time being!
