  1. I just know we are due for a big one soon. It may be Alaska, California or somewhere in the south! Yep, they just found a fault line in the south they say could produce a 7+ and there is no way the people in that area are prepared for such a massive quake. It is time for more ground sensors such as those produced and used by Quakefinder (www.quakefinder.com) to be installed in quake zones so we can seriously get down to the business of finding precursors to the major quakes. We can't save the buildings but we could save the people and animals.

****REMINDER**** Every fire has the ability to be catastrophic. The wildland fire management environment has profoundly changed. Growing numbers of communities, across the nation, are experiencing longer fire seasons; more frequent, bigger, and more severe, fires are a real threat. Be careful with all campfires and equipment.

"I am a firm believer in the people. If given the truth, they can be depended upon to meet any national crisis. The great point is to bring them the real facts, and beer." --Abraham Lincoln
