The last thing I would want is to too deep in the funding of the wing walls and M&O - that's your job.Dan McShanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17044037213245602667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9188642669907788257.post-7735584180162124882013-01-10T18:05:45.844-08:002013-01-10T18:05:45.844-08:00On an almost completely irrelevant note, the count...On an almost completely irrelevant note, the county road fund covers 45% of the cost of the Lummi Island ferry (but some years that has crept higher). The 55% is the target for 'farebox recovery' (WCC 10.34.030).<br /><br />So put that Permian trivia in your Carboniferous pipe and smoke it!Sam Crawfordnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9188642669907788257.post-6688755605840833262013-01-10T12:34:13.347-08:002013-01-10T12:34:13.347-08:00Thanks Mike.

I'm dang near useless at fossil identification, but I was skeptical of the belemnite call as I was fairly sure the source of these limestones was too old. Indeed, the San Juan Island sources and the Whatcom County sources are Carboniferous to Permian.

I'd also be guessing Carboniferous to Permian, if there are any local sources of those age rocks up there.MIke Hugginsnoreply@blogger.com
