Hi Dennis,

Thanks so much for your honesty. The road to earthquake prediction is full of ruts and bumps, some success and plenty of failures. Most often the failures are noted first, until someone starts having a regular pattern of successes. As they say, "you cannot succeed or fail, unless you try." So my hats off to you for trying.

In life in general its when we make a mistake that we recall our best lessons the most. Its hard to recall when our parents praised us for the small things we accomplished, as our memory patterns tend to remember the scolding or what-have-you because it comes with more drama.

Keep trying, one day, success for sure!

Thanks...Petra
