Hi Bob,

I understand that you mean the Geysers are sympathetic to Pillsbury as they are both volcanic in nature and it may be possible that as the Geysers build in activity, it may signal more activity at Lake Pillsbury. I don't know, because I've never looked. Interesting idea though.

We all have our area's of choice. Mostly as Antonio puts it, we have a symbiotic relationship with those places, so we "pick up" on them. Just as you have honed in on the MJT. However, let us be diplomatic regarding our talents and abilities. Dennis relys on instrumentation, which works well for his area of expertise, you on the other hand are a physical, spiritual individual and obtain your "sense" by the Ethos. I am rather ethoed as well, but really like things made clear as day and like organization.

Thusly I am saying, for one person something works well, for someone else, not so. But let us make clear to the viewing audience that which we wish to convey, so there shall be no confusion. As some people say to me, "you're weird, but not strange." There is a difference. I'm not sure what it is, but I'm trying to understand.

So, in conclusion my assessment is as follows:

Petra likes to be site specific.
Bob does as well, but draws from a wider territory.
Dennis has his bands outward and thus has configured an area quite large, but with varying magnitudes from his location.
Antonio works darn hard to get close. He admits to the same as the rest, we are all working on it.
Martin @ N.I.C.E. uses precursors, works to.
Don in Hollister uses instruments and gauges he reads and knows like the back of his hand and understands when stress is building what it means and where something is going to arrive. He's a target man. He also knows the fault histories extremely well.
Canie I think takes the overall and gets hunches. Works as well.

Many hands at the wheel, all with something wonderfully individual to offer, bright minds, people who are interesting and care. Couldn't be better!

A round of applause to all.....Petra
