THey are a hell of a thing, aren't they. Until one sees, up close, the
things they can do, weird things along with the damage, you just can't
imagine, though I can't imagine going thru an earthquake, like Billy
and all the leftcoasters *should * fear!! "Course we have our New
Madrid fault to worry about, but we should be clear of anything major
up here in the opposite corner of the state.
Catch ya' later, I've got a little one gnawing on my arm, making it a
