I had the headache beginning at the time of the Kodiak quake which has now been updated to a 7.0 and followed by a 5.5, 6.2, 5.0, 4.4 and 4.4 all of which happened in just over an hour's time (23:12-00:51). My headache continued for another three hours. So, this headache was not for the Kodiak series. Nor was it for the 3.9 which a couple of hours ago in Yorba Linda not all that far from me. But if we combine the two volcanoes and this moderate quake, we are coming close to the level of discomfort I experienced.

However, up to now, one headache equaled one event. Never events in combination with each other. So, I am confused. It appears that the rules have been changed. Or my response has been lacking. I was so sure I would know when people in LS had reason to worry. It appeared so clear. I had gotten a total of 34 pressures, dating from 2/18/94 to 4/4/99, and these had produced 28 EQs from the tip of the Aluetians to Bolinas and they had matched, using the square dating factor, within their windows of time just as predicted by the pressures. Each had been followed by strong spikes, later in time, and these had all matched as well. Then I was given another symptom for LS, an itching on the inside of my left elbow area and, while I did not document these itchings---other than to mention them under LS in my Critical EQ Window postings, quakes up there always followed.

Now I have a 7.0 without a matching pressure. I have a strong spike for it and I had some mild itching, but no PR. Why? I don't know and I don't understand. But I am not going to give up on it either. If God has changed my part in His EQ Plan, well, so be it. Ali and I had kinda joked how we thought we have been involintary draftees and hadn't asked for this duty just a week ago. Perhaps, I was getting a bit too cocky in a very serious matter and needed to be brought up short. Well, if so, He sure has my attention. This is now something I must study. I must go back to the beginning and see if I ever noted a left side forehead pressure long before I began testing the squaring date factor. That's what happened with the Hecter quake. It's pressure went back to 1993...taking far more time than I ever imagined possible. If this proves to be the case, then I'll have to go back over all the areas and see if there aren't other PRs waiting their quake.

Well, I wrote I was back in the EQ saddle and God sure didn't waste anytime getting me into the thick of it! And I think everytime there is another kid killing or trying to kill kid incident and there's been two in the last two days, time has got to be running out. God just can't be that patient, can He?

The energy has been with me all day, dragging my mood down as the day progressed and making work seem harder than normal. Which, of course, I write off to my age and being off for a week. But I know better. I have learned to know when it is me and when it it IT giving me a bad time. Jesus said; "Endure..." and I do. But what choice do I have? I can't just stop feeling in my body what I do and that headache was a good reminder. I used all my tricks on it, but it won. It made me fall asleep and sleep for three hours in the same position. I was surprised when I woke suddenly. It was strange feeling.

So, I don't think we should write off this headache just yet. Even though it may seem so. Jesus, also said; "Stay alert" and I can't help but think that is very good advice right now.
