Good Eve All!

This AM went to Cosco in Salinas to "Stock Up". On the way down the 101 Hwy, started getting dizziness, ears popping, and strange feeling. Noticed that the land for which is better known as the San Andreas that crosses over the 101, more erosion than ever before! Also, had heart palpatations like I had the night before the EQ down @ Joshua Tree.

Coming back, I took note of the hwy and its condition. I need to let you know that my husband was driving while I was doing this. Don't think I'm talented enought yet to drive and look at the surroundings as I felt I needed to do. However, I noticed that one part of the highway was starting to crack and lift on one side with some separation. Also, the bridge that crosses over the SAF had even larger cracks than about 5 to 6 months ago when I checked it last. The reason that I use this bridge as a gauge to what the earth/SAF movement is, is that after the Loma Prieta, that had to briefly close that bridge and repair it quickly due to the extreme damage that was done to it after the quake.

I also noticed a new meter that was up on some land I had gone past a few months ago with a friend. So....?

Dogs in neighborhood barking like crazy at nite. We can't sleep, keep waking up at around 2:30/3:00 AM. Packs of dogs running in our back 40 last night. Everybody I talked to has said that this past week seemed like a full moon and hopes that things start to settle down alittle.
But alas, people still in frenzed moods!!

On Static Electricity...have shocked everything from A to Z and then some! I wonder how many times I have started an irregular heartrate in me? But air is very, very dry, low humidity, and then I wonder about the earth and hows its capable of sucking all and everything out of the air when faults, rocks, etc. are getting their energy together? I remember along time ago reading something about this phenomena, but can't remember where.

Keep safe and Alert!
