You’re too kind! I’ve always been interested in geology. I took only a couple of college courses, though. One of my friends was majoring in it, but the math requirements knocked her out in her junior year; she ended up with a degree in philosophy!

IIRC, that part of NC has igneous rocks, and also has uranium and thorium. Our state doesn’t have much coal, oil, or natural gas, but thorium could meet our energy needs for decades to come. Of course, the government won’t let anybody build any thorium reactors.
