“Your soil—it’s all about geology”

Michael Machette’s presentation will discuss the local geology of the Quimper Peninsula and its effect on the soils in your garden.  All of the soils in this region are young (less than 15,000 yrs), but they can be some of the most productive in the state.

Michael is a Quaternary geologist (one who deals with the past 2 million years of the earth’s history). His 35-year career was in the arid Southwest with the US Geological Survey in Denver, but he moved to Port Townsend in 2008 to retire near the water in a cooler low-land climate.  Michael is an expert and consultant on earthquake hazards as well as a principle advisor to the Quimper Geological Society (QuimperGeology.org), which has more than 800 local members. He has a small garden that feeds a couple of neighborhood deer and rabbits.

And here are some Zoom Troubleshooting Tips:

We have learned a few things from past Zoom sessions that we’d like to pass on to you to minimize problems with logging in. Most of the issues seem to be problems unique to each user and device, and we have very limited ability to troubleshoot. But each of the tips below has worked for someone.

If you are new to Zoom or think you might have a problem, it is important to log on early so you have time to try these tips:

• If you are using Zoom through your web browser, try downloading and using the desktop client instead (https://zoom.us/support/download). In fact, it may be good for everyone to download and have this ready in advance.
• If you are using a phone or tablet (either Android or IOS), use the Zoom app (same link as above to download) instead of using a web browser.
• Make sure you are not mixing up your personal Zoom account password and the meeting password, which are different. You will be prompted for them at different times (if at all, depending on your device). This is one of the most common problems.
• Make sure you are logging into Zoom with the same e-mail/account you used to register for the webinar.
• Try using a different internet browser. Chrome seems to work best. Microsoft Edge seems to cause the most problems.
• Enable cookies in your browser.
• Log into Zoom (https://zoom.us/signin) in your browser and/or in your Zoom app prior to clicking on the link.
• Update the Zoom client on your device.
• Completely log out of Zoom (both on your device’s Zoom app., and on the Zoom website, log back in, and try again.
• Flush the cookies and cache from your web browser, close the browser, and then restart.
• Uninstall and reinstall Zoom on your device.
• Try accessing the webinar on a different computer/device.
