Hi Lowell,

I'm still glad you can hear ear tones. They are an interesting phenomena. I thank heaven for the efforts Don has made in helping me to understand how to take what I knew and make some sense of it and much thanks goes to Roger Hunter in creating the ear tone ring map program. Bless of all you for your contributions.

I see little ahead insofar as posting here that would add anything of much import to this board. When Don and I brought back information of a significant event that has occurred in Parkfield, little interest was displayed, but those scientists that do work avidly in Parkfield are very interested. I believe the changes that could occur there within the next year and beyond are going to chance the focus and direction of the research ahead.

While I do not get ear tones every day, I do hear them at least once a week. I've learned from experience to ignore the quakes that occur within the greater Bay Area because there are to many for me to sort them out with any degree of accuracy. I do much better with quakes that are further than that. So we will keep working on the program and hopefully in the end be able to document a long research program that does in fact make the connection between hearing ear tones and resulting earthquakes. I think it can be done, but time will measure the success of the project.

I started working on the contents for another web site to help people, understand when they can't win. It's called Autonomous, about the untouchables in society. It's just another learning tool to advise the public who they are and what to expect when you find the brick wall in front of you. It happens every day to millions of people. Knowing the pitfalls in life lets you know what to expect as an outcome and what to pursue, and what to leave alone. My hopes are that in time, everyday people will catch the fever and those who can, will work toward legislative change. In time I believe I will develop six web sites for assistance to the common public. This I believe is a contribution which will bring some level of hope or knowledge to people who need it the most.

The Seismic Safety Zone is a valuable site in teaching logical everyday knowledge about earthquake safety and Battered Angels teaches women of domestic violence how to survive, and the most important, details on the road to freedom. I have and always will be an advocate for social change.

I've devoted three plus years in understanding why we don't have public earthquake prediction. My summation of what I learned has been placed on The Zone web site. I've learned a lot, but realize I am not a scientist and therefore do have my limitations as to what contributions I can make. Now its time to focus on those social issues, work toward the problems that all too many experience.

I do not feel at this time I have anything of value to add to this board. The field trips Don and I have taken and the information brought back seems not to have any interest to those we read this board as no comments are associated with what we learned. We'll keep going, but I'll leave it up to Don if he wants to post about them.

I cannot walk away from something I feel is wrong and not address it, as it just isn't in my nature. This is a plus and a minus I suppose, but I have to live up to what I believe. So I will say to all of you, keep up the good work. Mine I believe is complete.

Wishing you all the best.....Petra
