Hi Roger,

Thanks for your kind words. I am hard on myself because I'm an absolute perfectionist in an imperfect world.

However, I will differ in opinion about the possibilities of predicting earthquakes. The quake in Alaska was truly expected by me, just from observation, therefore, to our more learned scientists it must have occurred to them as well. But my point is, if it did occur to them, knowing more than I do, how would they have defined the location better than I?

I guess I'm like a dog with a bone. I gotta know all the nooks and crannies and understand the construction of the bone and what happens when the dog bites into it in infinite detail. Thus, why did the quake occur north of my expected location and how can one more clearly define the process of the "where."

One day, wanna bet, I'm gonna know. Because I'll keep seeking the answer until the day I find it, or die, whichever comes first. I'm hoping for the former and not the latter.

So why am I so tenatious? That's what happens when you're a salesperson. You ask all the time. No one is safe from being asked.

Petra :-)
