We live near Yellowstone and we have a hot spring that keeps the house warm in the winter. We’re used to it but we’re also very aware that we live near one of the largest volcanoes in the world.
So we were to suddenly see something >> different << happening we’d be out of here like a cat shot in the ass!
I’d suggest that folks who live in LA double check their emergency supplies and their evacuation plans because the earth often tells us when something big is about to happen.
La Brea is a fascinating place to visit and there’s a park around it. I’ve been there a few times and there’s always this or that area of the lawn taped off as tar is seeping at that spot at that time. Smells like an old gas station. So i think this is nothing unusual. It just happens to be coming up in that particular spot.
And then there was the earthquake today in Cleveland, Ohio, is something going on?
I’ve never seen a cat shot in the ass, but that image just made me laugh. We own five, and now I have this picture stuck in my mind. LOL
They’ll just throw tax dollars at it and call it good.
I'm thinking of retiring in Idaho Falls just so that if the big one goes my troubles will be over almost instantly.

Very interesting!
Can you tell a bit about how it works?
Guessing???
Hot water piped into a heat exchanger, so the spring water that may have lots of minerals to plug up small pipes, does not flow through the appliances?
Then pumped out of the heat exchanger through a heated floor, fin tube, radiators, fan coil, domestic water heater???
How hot is the spring supply water?
Is it always the same temperature?
And my wife could be as warm as she likes all winter!!
Very nice!
I recall a FReeper years ago talking about heating their driveway with geothermal (which I found fascinating) Was that you?
