Hi All,

Tonights my night. I went out looking for the cats in the yard. Found one running to me and the other on the roof. But while I was out there I heard the squirrels chatting up a storm up in the tree. Um. That's odd. 11PM and the squirrels are up. The cats came right into the house with no hesitation. Go figure.

Now for the interesting tid-bits. I had a look round at all of the data sites in the Bay Area and found a nice curious one. This is the long term dilatometer link and I want you to look at MC01 on the left side. This is an annual graph and there is some strain build up since around Thanksgiving. This site sits between the Hayward and Calavaras Faults and is in Fremont.

If we are going to get a quake, I hope its now because with the animals and tid bits, it would really be so perfect.
