Jim decided to escape the distractions and responsibilities of his
office at Scripps and took a day off to show me the desert east of
San Diego.
He continued his overview of the basics of physical oceanography as
we drove to Anza-Borrego State Park where we took a hike to view some
Pleistocene marine fossils. The hundreds of clams, scallops, snails,
and corals that were easily found in the appropriate rock layers
helped keep our discussions focused on the ocean and my
responsibilities on this summer's cruise.
