John,

I know they have been doing the best they could, but their types of instruments perhaps are not exactly what they needed. If I had any idea the quake that was going to roll into Parkfield in September was going to be the one they were waiting for I would have been hard pressed not to tell them. I think now in hind sight I should have at least sent an e-mail and told them to keep an eye on their instruments. The whole thing went wrong.

So now I wonder how long its supposed to be when the next 6 rolls in. 11, 22 or 33 years? We won't all be here in 11 years. To bad.
