Hi Jan,

I've been wanting to go to Alaska for ages, now maybe someone will invite me to slow down the earthquakes. Of course if I leave Northern, Ca, then all of you are in danger, so maybe I shouldn't go?

I wonder if they need anybody in Indonesia? I could enjoy those warm balmy breezes and await the earthquake that will never arrive.

Of course, I'd love to go to Italy. I could make a special trip to the banks of Mt. Etna and try and experiment and see if the lava flows backwards. Reverse geometrics. Don says I'm so mean the volcano would spit me back out. Of course that doesn't make any sense, if I got in I be burned up anyway. Maybe not. Mr. Kratt always said he wanted to ride down a lava flow in a metal boat, so maybe there's hope for the ride of a lifetime yet.

Jan, don't worry, I'm not leaving Sonoma County so you're safe. Of course that would shoot Don's record down, but hey, that's ok too. I owe him a twinkie now, I'm praying I don't owe him a chicken dinner.

Petra
