I do remember the magnetic experiments ad I do recall that they worked for me, even prior to trying them. In 1997, I recall having a fit because "someone" had pulled everything (which was a considerable amount with 4 children under 10 at the time) off the fridge. I was going through bizarre turmoil at work ending in mass Margaritas after work. My children were, that eveing with a 5'-9" sixteen year old, babysitter. which our six month old Lab puppy freaked out so much at and pushed her into the pool (it was April). Anyway, in the wee hours we had a 5.1 earthquake here. The next day, about 24 hours and much more magnet cleaning up, we had a 4.9 here. Later, when I got to know Frank shortly after, it was still clear in my mind. I began to follow this and yes, when I have enough brainpower, I do recognize that they drop. I noticed it (along with a lot more) just before the Hector quake. We had a friend here visiting and I went to bed hours before saying that we were foing to get a quake that night. He's a believer now. Beth
