Hi Dennis,

Of late the biggest screw up came last time this year or a little later when the CA USGS map showed that Mammoth had a 15.0 earthquake. You should have seen the box on the map. You wouldn't have believed it.

Silly me, thinking it was for real called a friend in Reno and tearfully asked if everyone was alright. Humor being this persons usual way of handling things told me Mammoth had been leveled and everything around was in shambles. As I continued to cry for my known acquaintenances in the area, then he finally told me it was nothing like that. I was so relieved everyone was alright, it was impossible to be angry with him. But one, believe me, opportunity is going to knock and I'm going to answer and get him back. All in fun of course.

Petra (Canie, you know this friend)
