Hi Martin,

I think my point of view regarding the number of scientists working on earthquake prediction may be greater, due to various contacts. I've been surprised many times over during the past six months myself.

As for the water, I use it to water the plants in my garden and then nothing is wasted and I can reuse the containers. But I did learn keeping it outside, though in the shade is not a good idea. Algea forms in the bottom to rapidly. Also, to anyone who is keeping chicken noodle soup in your EQ kits, don't. This soup deteriorates rapidly, even though the cans don't swell up. The smell is horrendous when you open the cans.
