Hi Bob,

I liked the story very much. Synchrocity is an interesting topic. Several weeks ago I wrote a story about the desert and there was a war going on and seismologists from all over were being assigned to the desert regions because something new in high tech weaponry was in use. Something having to do with creating earthquakes. But not fluid injection. Its a secret weapon. You know what an active imagination I have.

Anyway, thanks for sharing the story. I think I said this already, but Petra in Greek means rock. Fitting, huh?

In just about a month I'll be attending the annual AGU convention in SF. I hope opportunity presents itself so I can attend more lectures than last year, get to know more of our earth scientists and hopefully view a poster presentation. Our fellow poster, Don in Hollister will also attend, should be interesting. The City truly sparkles at Christmas time. You probably remember how many beautiful store windows display the most amazingly gorgeous trees. Well, no limo rides this year, but fun is everywhere, you just have to know how to create it.

Thanks for the story of Petra.....Petra
