every article i've read in it is like that. i couldn't power through entire editions like your girl did, i can't read that sort of style writing when i just want a good solid overview and details, i'm like you on that. but if they are covering a topic that interests me, then i do enjoy the read and usually feel it was time well spent. but yeah, it's a slow burn, and i also get completely sidetracked by the cartoons, trying to figure out what's so fucking funny about that cartoon?!
but re: the cascadia subduction zone, i don't see myself traveling back through that neck of the woods. you can tell by how hazardous the terrain there is already that when shit hits the fan there, it all goes bezerk.
