I don't know how significant this might be, but the week before Hector I had ants. Lots of them but not around food or trash, in the bathtubs, sinks, even in the pool skimmer! I did have food in the kitchen-but they didn't go near it. They weren't in their usual little lines, they seemed to be wandering. Last week just as quickly as they'd appeared they were gone. Well, guess what, I went to clean the shower tonight-and they're back. I can't figure out how they're getting inside. Got home too late to see if the parrots came home this evening. I have three little cockers. One, who was born in Texas and is 2 yrs. old, makes like a hamster running along the walls and growling whenever there's a shake.He woke me just prior to Hector. He does it just before it happens. He seems to be sensitive to the earths signals. Tonight, as last night, Charlie's not his usual rambuntious self. He's glued to me. Sure wish I was smart enough to understand what he's trying to tell me! I still feel the rolling here in Orange, hope I'm not losing that one little bit of sanity I'd held on to for so long (LOL).
