Chris,

I tried working inside of your scientific box and all I got was frustrated. All I have to do is be off by .1 and I get myself a miss. A few days ago my prediction for Chalome came in. I got the right place, the right magnitude, but it was late. So again, by your standards it's a miss. You have to realize that IF anyone ever took me seriously they would start all over again. Anything that I ever did would not count. And the other part of course is that IF I ever got ever good at this I'd be shut down in a heartbeat. So to he.l with it, I'm just gonna do what I do and have some fun while I'm at it. If the big one shows up along the way, well it will show up. The tone group now stands at 9 and the good news is that they are in many ways far better than I am.

Now, onto more fun things. The web page for the Earthquake Repository will be under development next week. I think I'll enjoy that a lot. I'll let you know when the site is up and running.
