Hi Chris,

I wanted to say thank you for your input of late in explaining the facts about various southern, California faults. I would suspect as well that your information may be more up-to-date than some of the literature we might be reading too.

But on Ojai, if I remember this well, which I think I do, didn't Robert Blake who played Baretta in the 1970's live in Ojai at that time? And wasn't he honored by the city then? Seems right to me.

Then this tidbit let me into a whole different direction and I thought I'd like to share something with you that may one day in the next year or so, not be in existence anymore, or perhaps moved from its original place.

Thanks to the Internet I can share something of my youthful past with all of you. I grew up in Encinitas, CA (San Diego County) and my first port of call was to live in one their historical boat houses. I lived in the SS Moonlight for a year and then we moved across the street where I viewed them daily for 14 more years.

And how many of our viewers know what a grunion is and how you hunt one?

Enjoy....Petra
