Hi 2 Cents,

Max Wyss is a very interesting individual, very intense. Very serious about his work, but not always willing to talk about it. Pretty much what you read is what you'll come to know. I will just say that he and I have unresolved issues regarding prediction.

No, I haven't had any ear tones for Indonesia or Alaska. My Alaskan prediction is simply based upon my observations. Though Mogi's are under investigation on the Rampart Fault by a scientist at the Geolphysical Institute in Alaska. But he never, ever answers any questions posed to him about Mogi's or his work. But if one studies Mogi's they are interesting in that you won't always see them on the surface. They are often like a tire where only part of what you see is on the surface. Unfortunately, not having the computer models at hand, us regular folks can't see what's going on underground, so we have to just check out what they look like when they are obvious and showing up on the surface, like they are presently.

Indonesia seems to be having a really difficult year and I hope everytime I see a 7 down there that its end of the cycle, but it seems to just keep going on.

While I see some parts of CA in the FFA zone, this is usually the time to look at places which have infrequent earthquakes, so I'd look at the band that goes out beyond CA for some interesting activity in the next ten days.
