Geosthetics Blog

Welcome to the Geosthetics Blog. We are excited to be discussing our passion: the beauty of the built and natural environment. Our blog will be an ongoing discussion covering the built form of our towns and cities; the land patterns we have created; the dynamics of our transportation systems; the historic, social, cultural and economic forces that have brought about our built form; and the beautiful large-scale geographic forms found in nature. Please note that, except as otherwise referenced, all blog entries reflect the opinions, knowledge, and experience of Geosthetics' founder, Cayl Hollis. The blog is NOT a detailed research thesis, and is not heavily referenced to other sources. We are keeping things simple and straightforward, with writings based primarily upon Cayl's personal experience, education, observations, insight, and musings, including a large amount of general and specific information from books, the internet, and related television shows that has stuck in his mind but that he has no memory as to the specifics of where it came from.

We welcome your input. If you have an interesting story to tell regarding a particular place or subject, have specific knowledge to add, or wish to clear up something in the blog, please drop us a line. Also, if you think there is something in the blog that should be referenced or corrected, please forward the specifics so that we can add it to the blog or change the blog as needed.  If we decide to use information or knowledge you have provided, we will reference you in the blog accordingly, always with thanks and appreciation.

We want this blog and associated discussions to be fun, informative, and positive in spirit. We do welcome differing opinions, as different ideas can spring forth new thoughts and new ways of thinking about things. However, we will purposefully remove any comments that we deem disrespectful or mean-spirited.

Please enjoy, and keep checking back with us every so often for new blog topics.
