Hey Don,

A girls gotta have some fun sometime. Hidden messages in beer labels, really Don.....

I doubt I could beat you in EQ prediction this year. Everyone knows you're the king. But maybe if I'm lucky I can pull a couple of good ones that maybe you'll miss. You never know.

I'll tell you what we'll do. You and I can make a prediction each just using our best guesswork. They have to be in California and a 3.0 or larger. And NO, you cannot use the Geysers, Parkfield or San Simeon. We'll put a 30 day window on it and if I win you can take me to Parkfield and treat me to a BBQ rib dinner at the Parkfield Cafe. You'll have to select your own prize, but if involves Lake Pillsbury, forget it. I'm not going. I'd rather die first.

Being as I am such a gracious hostess, I'll let you select your area of choice first.

Petra
