Glen,

A couple of helpful hints for you. Look for something that is a natural element and keep a close watch on it. If there is a place which houses animals or birds make an arrangement with them to make reports to you. Llama's are very good at precursory activity, which most people don't know as are Emu's and Ostriches. You would be surprised at how willing animal keepers are to help you. Around here there hasn't been a time when I haven't spoken to someone about this and they hop on the bandwagon in a heartbeat. But a geyser, oil seeper or water well in the area within ten miles sure won't hurt.

I like Frank Condon a lot, but considering how many years he has been doing his work my overall impression is that he calls for more alerts than might be required. However, that doesn't negate his work at all. He has been invaluable to some contacts of mine in comparing instrument notes.

Don and I are getting pretty used to attacts on the Internet, but out there in the real world, both of us are very respected and well liked. So as they say, don't sweat the small stuff. I received a nice e-mail the other day from someone who read about me in Nexus Magazine and he said he was glad to see my Holistic Approach to science. I never thought of it in those terms and he urged me to keep up the good work. For many years on this forum the sensitives were always saying they hoped one day that they would be taken seriously and today some of us are, yet I see less support from them today than in the old days. I don't know, you can't please everyone.

I just want to finish my story series, get well and get that evaluation under way so a lot of this nonsense will stop. It feels much like someone turned on a light switch and one day no one cares and the next, let's evaluate. This is a part time job after my real work but someone people think I should be able to crank out 1000 or so ear tone reports in a heartbeat. I'm sorry, I may have a lot of energy, but I am not super-human. I never expected anyone would ever look or care and after going through four computers over the years, there is a lot of work that has to go into this effort. I'm relieved too that I had the good sense to do it manually because I've seen what happens with computers when they crash and you're left empty handed. But not this time, thank goodness.

I'm glad you're working on your research, the more people who do so the more promising the results could be. Go for it!
