    San Andreas Fault is ready for deadly earthquake according to experts [^] I thought it was last night! The building alarm went off at 1:30 and, as I awoke, I thought I heard and felt a loud bang. It was just the fire doors closing! Phew! The alarm did go off several more times so I am more grumpy than usual this morning, if that is even possible! :-)

      So "The Big One" refers to earth quakes? For years I thought it was an anatomical reference spoken of at bridal showers and that it would be better mentioned in the Soapbox. Live'n'Learn

          He didn't say "The Big One", he said, "the big one". What happened to the typographical selectivity you were demonstrating yesterday?

          I am not a number. I am a ... no, wait!

                  Experts have been predicting that a giant earthquake has been due for years. I can't remember if it was the 60s or 70s but people were selling ocean front property in Arizona.

                        If you're going to sweat west coast earthquakes, the San Andreas isn't what you need to be worrying about. When it rips the Cascadia Fault[^] has the potential to deliver a 9.x earthquake and tsunami to the far less prepared regions of Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia.

                        Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint. You like that? You go right on staring at it. I prefer looking at galaxies. -- Sarah Hoyt
