It looks like that tangle of black hair from the girl in the Ring coming out of the well.

It is totally correct too, what happens is that at some point in history (during the Haitian invasion in the Dominican Republic) the name was changed to Santo Domingo Island. Indeed the capital of DR is Santo Domingo as well, but also the entire island was named with the same name; Santo Domingo.
When Latinos, even Spanish from Spain (were I am) refer to the entire island, we usually say Santo Domingo, it is as if La Española were a vintage name.

I’ve viewed this picture again and again. It chills me. My cousin (archeologist) and I follow the earthquake plates. I’m stupified by the graphic and still not able to respond in a meaningful way. {{WW slinks back into introspection}}

That's interesting Sade, I did not know that. Thank you for the history. My son's M-I-L is from the DR so now I have something new and fun to discuss with her when I see her at Christmas.  |

You want something to think about? Think about living down here where those lines completely black out the area!! That, and the last one to hit us head on, are why I'm moving very far north!!  |

That is a fact. House goes up for sale in July. I retire in August. We are going to Alpena, Michigan to watch our grandkids grow up. |

Ohh, lol: I can give you much more subject to discuss hahaha ....the sociological arguments are endless!
So are the orchids matters; in my senses, I am growing against nature; in cold weather, with no natural sources as per the SH Techniques. All my homies friends constantly ask " how could that be possible" and feels like a laboratory TEST all the time. When they have the garden full of vandas and cymbs

I live on the Humboldt fault line, east of the New Madrid fault, and in tornado alley. Hurricanes are the least of problems here in Oz. Regardless of where one lands, there’s always something to think about.
