I'm having an trifle of an time getting in here PoE

I don't know if it was due to today's California quake or not...can't seem to hold my far distance web sites, it might also be the approach of the solar eclispe on Aug 1st also. Everyone is freakin out down there in newsland in California for fear of an bigger one, but so far the pattern as I've known them to be are pretty typical right now for what happened before, during and afterwards. Our family dog that went in for the surgery last Wednesday, got the tumor removed and her breast along with it, broke some of her stiches and had to go back today... an very busy time about to come up here soon for me. This 5.4 mag. quake in Calfornia was epicentered near Edwards Air Force Base,..outside Los Angelas...this is where the NASA Space shuttles land when coming back to earth if they can't do it in Florida. I'll keep going through the web site here to see how far I can get before it knocks me out of the site again...probably give up for a bit until this all calms down.  

My husband was at Edward AFB when he was in the service's.

We also had a bit of an earthquake near Reno, but we've had so many this year that we just let them pass us by. Of course it was not as big as your 5.4 thank goodness.

Keep safe, and I hope your dog heals well.

Shirley, I don't envy you right now.  My prayers are with you and your family.

I lived in Los Angeles for a number of years and it was the 1994 Northridge quake at 6.7 on the richter scale that made me decide to move to Boston.  The epicenter was less than 12 miles from my house. I remember it hitting in the wee hours of the morning when everyone was still sleeping. It was dark out and of course, and when it hit it hit with a jolt that knocked out the power lines etc. When it was over I remember just sitting down where I was and waiting for daylight.  I didn't dare move around too much because I couldn't see anything and I had heard some mighty crashes inside my house.  When the dawn came the first thing I noticed was the light showing through the separation between by wall and the fireplace!  The chandelier had fallen from the ceiling; lamps and such had been tossed across the room and smashed.
 

As the morning went on we had some strong aftershocks that kept everyones nerves on edge. I remember the airport was closed due to a lack of power and doctors had to perform surgery in the open air because hospital buildings were so severely damaged. It was awful!

 I know about those in Reno, your not still having them like you were are you?My own opinion of them was the heavy snow melt of last winter in the mine shafts in the area. I had not ruled out volcanic though possibly but felt the spring run off more likely. I can't  really say that I've talk to anyone from down there lately in the earthquake web site. The dog broke her stitches sometime before the Cally quake and now has an "cone" around her head and has to be hand fed until next week,

I live in Oregon, though I know half the state of Calfiornia at times also. I have an ancestor that was the U. S.Ambassador to what was then "Spanish" California...and his home is an State Historical site in Monterey now. Yes, that Northridge was an bad one down there. I remember it also, but on TV

We were in California on vacation in the Redwoods one time and I was doing my thing...hugging trees...getting my empressions from them supposedly as I had read about in an recent book I was reading and they seemed very shallow to me so I stopped and asked an lady about their root system and she told me that they don't grow with an central "root" tap...they send out an crown of finger roots separate from each other aroudn the base of the tree and one reason why they have survived since the time of Christ. so I am going along and hugging an tree here and there an I came across one that I had said, "and what do you dear tree have to tell me today, honored one"...and when I wentto hug it, I felt the ground below me falling away, it liked to scare me to death...it didn't leave me, even leaving the area, by the time we got to Clear Lake.. I just "felt" an fear the further south we went, so at Clear Lake my hubby said, let's go home. He "knows" me you see.  We pulled into our drive way and by the next morning the Lima Prieto Quake had happened...the one where the bridge over the bay, one section fell down onto another. I looked at the clock and I readily saw, had we been travelign we most likely would of been on the bridge about the time that the quake occured. Talk about gettng the "willies" over something.  Gesh!!!....Listen to your intution people.

comcast was out here this morning, and they changed an modem box we are hooked up to and put in an whole bunch  of new links directly to them. I told them then that I had been having problems with my long distance web sites. I have sepnt the majortiy of the day talking in my earthquake web sites calming people down and putting up with arrogant replies, but more then anything trying to calm their fears...as it's still out that this was not the webbot predicted one as of yet, nor the whammy earth-changing one they think after Sept. 7 but more likely mid-December sometime. Oh ye of little faith, I feel at times. I feel in some ways that they have the technology now to "warp" us out the time frame on them for the most part...thanks to "Tesla". I am understanding a bit more about electro-magnetics these days from it all. So this is my first distance away web site to use with the new stuff they put in today.  

Well, I just found out that I have no less then 273 errors on my computer, most likely associated with my association with Mr. Bill Gates, whom has to keep sending me out "up-dates" as I report them. No wonder "Comcast" came out an replaced the "modem" box also over last weekend, looking rather perplexed. It makes you wonder when it will all stop.
