@wildblueponder.bsky.social My grandfather was a WWI balloon observer; shot down but survived. Lt. Cleo Ross, his companion in the basket, was not so fortunate. This predated the creation of the USAF - my father wrote about this experience in ‘That Fateful Day’- thought you’d find this interesting.

The rapidly accelerating complex of landslides in Rancho Palos Verdes has created an unforeseen outcome: a new coastline as the seafloor is pushed upward.
