Don:

In talking with my colleague yesterday evening, he said that there were two choices, either SF or Mammoth. I stated Mammoth, and voila, we had an earthquake last night there 47 mins past midnight.

At least I can report to the third party that the magnetics were coming from the Mammoth area, not Menlo Park (laugh)
