Hi Canie,

The water heater bill as I was last informed about a week ago is supposed to be on the Governor's desk for signature before the end of this month.

I don't think I am abandoning anything. I believe it is the realization that I had a question and I spent a few years finding out the answer. Now I know. The question is answered and my mission is accomplished.

We the public will have to accept whatever science choses to met out to us. It may or may not be in our best interest. But sometimes you have to just live with what you have. Not unlike the Alquist-Priolo Act. Frankly, I think it should be repealed, but it isn't going to happen. So for a good long while home buyers will keep paying their $25 to learn they don't live in a seismic risk zone because the map isn't finished. As to why the report could not say it is unknown because the map isn't finished, I don't know. But the law says you can receive a lie that you paid for and it's ok.

It is the same as coming to the realization that people who hear earthquakes before they arrive will always be thought of as foolish. I really detest being placed in that category. I'm rather a straight arrow kind of person and this doesn't really go with my sense of character. I can't see how to prove to someone that something is happening that they are unaware of. It is nothing new, actually it is as old as mankind itself, but today we shut our minds to anything we don't understand, can't feel or can't touch.

I am not like a lot of people in that I can see the past and the future. Ear tones were here from the very beginning and in the future, long, long time future, they will have their rightful place. But not when I am here anymore.

When Edgar Cayce talked about coming back to Earth he said everyone would be living in glass houses. He may be right, but not real glass, however, fiberglass. In the 1930's they didn't know what fiberglass was, so what he saw looked like shiny glass. Curious. But that too is a long ways into the future.

The future is as simple as opening the door, crossing over the threshold and arriving on the other side. How marvelously wonderful.

Now I'm looking for the next big question, the next vision quest, the burning desire to know, to seek the path and just go with it.
