Hi 2 Cents,

I am so flattered that you think I have a database. Actually, I hate the things. I like the brain, some far field thinking and using good old theory and common sense. Of course not leaving out history as our best teacher.

I as well have my own theory, but you won't find it showing up in science journals at least not at the present time. My theory gets to take a departure from the regular printing sources and show up in a novel. I'll test it out for those who read and want to know what "my team" does to predict earthquakes and then those who are readers if so inclined can test it themselves and see if it works.

I have a picture in my bedroom that really says it all for me. Its rather mystical. You see a beautiful woman with long hair and all around are things like moons, animals and snakes. They are her imagination and like her, I've got more than I need. But you see, that's how things come about, you take something simple and create something new, grand, unsual and workable from nothing.

The human potential is only limited by ones thoughts, so in this case, I'm so glad you've got the bull by the horns, a plan and the motivation to see it through. Shoulder to the wheel, don't put it aside, but try to make it more primary than secondary.

Good Luck....Petra
