I get the emailed earthquake advices from the USGS, as I have with this (they currently report 6.1 though they will submit revisions at times) and then await the news. It's quite often hard to guage the "damage" from the number.

...you may be doing it wrong, if that's been your experience. in fact i'm pretty sure there can be no doubt about it.

I can't imagine at this juncture that submitting descriptions of experience would serve either of us or anyone else any kind of benefit. 'Tis more a conceptual ditty anyway - parts of the mind responding to the enthusiastic interests of parts of the body.

no, you're right, let's definitely keep away from the particulars. i just thought i would alert you, in hopes it would inspire you to examine other possibilities.

well, somewhat off topic, but also true.

I can't work out whether that is sad, bad or wishful thinking.

You know what the noises in your head are like, Geoff. 'Tis better to just try ignore them and keep striving on cheerily through the day [voices: without ramming the head of that bastard that pushed in in the checkout line into the sucking grind of an industrial woodchipper] thus achieving a peace of mind in the evening that allows thoughtful relaxation and sleep.

Ommmmmmm.

It's a fair cacophony, thankfully (?) they are just noises and not voices...(unless they are in morse code, with static and hisses thrown in to put me off the scent).

Turn the paranoia up - they're bound to be morse code then.

GeoffC, you have a seismometer at home? Interesting. Is it work related or just a hobby?

You are probably very much going to think I am being sarcastic (and if you do, you'd be wrong), but your family is so cool.
