Hi Lowell,

You're right, he's got something that works. Good for all of us for sure. I already treated him to a good meal, lasagna. But all he does is complain, complain because he ate to much. Gosh.

Like they say, the approach to the goal occurs with placing one foot in front of the other and going the distance. In this case, forecasting/prediction and keeping well above random chance.

But as those who know him well have come to know, he is quite serious, though he often makes joking remarks about his appetite. When asked how he will handle a possible prediction for a large earthquake, he really doesn't know yet. But I do. If and when the day arrives, he'll do what he always does the best; he'll give it a presentation worthy of delivering in a serious and careful tone. Let us all hope, that's a long ways in the distance.

Lowell, a bonus thanks to you for your many hours of evaluating those predictions. For us layfolks we haven't got the time or the saavy for those meticulous details.
