Hi Don,

You forgot, I don't need their equipment, because I have my own. I like using theirs though, then people don't think its so strange when instruments back up my ear tones or other sensitivities.

I recall all to well, long before my car accident changed everything that when my tailbone began to hurt that Ocotillo Wells used to have regular quakes that followed. Of course at this distance I could only forecast the ones over 4.0. The last forecast I gave to a seismologist for that area fell 3 hours outside of my window. He laughed it off and said, "don't you know, you can't predict earthquakes from back aches." Well, today he's right, I can't. But in a few years when I get well, I might just find the old back may hone into another area. Hopefully, much closer.

So for you Don, yeah I know you need those meters and gauges, but for me my ears are just fine and on better nights a trip round the area on my broomstick does nicely.

Petra
