Thanks for the beef. Seriously. A good burger is a good damn burger.

I don't think I've ever seen someone ask a rancher this, so:

What's your full take on the Bundy ranch thing, the Malheur thing, and all that -- but specifically as applies to the business of ranching?

I wouldn't mind hearing your political take as well, but it's totally understandable if you don't want to dip into that here. I'm not going to pretend to understand the nuances of the business side of all that and what eventually led to the first stand off, the arson thing, and all that, is what I'm curious about.

If the worst case scenario happened and the biggest plausible tsunami that is reasonable were to hit places like Long Beach and Ocean Shores, how bad is it going to get? How tall of a wall of water are we talking? How long after the quake would it hit? How far inland are they in trouble? Would those tsunami towers be able to save people?

Last one from me, thanks for this!

Based on the science, what are the odds a quake can trigger something bad coming out of Mount Rainier like an eruption or a full blown lahar racing towards Tacoma and Seattle?

Holy hell. So in other words, in simpler terms:

A minimum 4-10 foot tall wall of ocean that goes almost the width of the horizon coming in at 40 miles per hour (and that's 8.6 lbs per gallon of salt water) and it's gonna keep coming for... half a day?

I cannot fathom how any community on the coast will exist after this. The earth will be scoured bare by that much force and energy.

How awesome was it when your Cap theme kicked off in the biggest movie of all time in one of the most bad ass cinema moments of all time, as Carol returned to Earth?
