Something to watch: The rain is coming down hard in LA tonight, and the burn area near JPL & particularly the neighboring community of La Canada Flintridge is vulnerable to mudslides.
Some limited home evacuations in this area have begun; let's keep several UMSF members & project people who live in that area in mind. -------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.

I'm there. It's clear this morning and no major slides. Workers were all over the hills all night reinforcing, bless them -- we could see their lamps.
Vegetation is already popping up here and there from a shower last month, and this will speed it. Fingers crossed. |

All...
update on my daughter. Rachel has made remarkable progress over the last week. She is out of ICU and now in a physical therapy ward. Aside from wanting to see her sons she is most worried about getting her voice back. Strong young woman who may well be home for X-Mas!!!! I cannot wait to see her and her two boys together again.

VERY glad to hear this, Craig. This will be quite a special holiday season for your family after all!

GREAT news Craig! Here's for a fast total recovery!
Another thing, tonight I woke up with an earthquake: http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/rec...us2009qhac.html http://neic.usgs.gov/neis/bulletin/neic_qhac_t.html http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/dyf...c/us/index.html -------------------- "Ride, boldly ride," The shade replied, "If you seek for Eldorado!"

Whoa!
 5.7--that's pretty hefty! Any damage, Rui?

Glad to hear that!
That's an extremely disconcerting feeling, to say the least...takes you a few seconds to figure out what the hell's happening as well! -------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.

Curiously I knew immediately what was going on...we have that fear of a new 1755 imprinted on our collective minds...
 At that hour it could have been a tragedy with everyone sleeping... -------------------- "Ride, boldly ride," The shade replied, "If you seek for Eldorado!"

Well, with all the dark energy from all those Leonard Cohen records gathered in one spot, I'm not surprised the Earth let out a heavy, depressed sigh during the night Rui...!

That's it, then. Emptying all my books from the shelves, and boxing the fine china as I speak...
EDIT: Rui, not to make light. The 1755 quake was obviously a significant event in a great many ways. -------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.

We don't take it lightly, since little we all, somehow, expect an event like that to take place...we don't forget that we live in a risk area, nature doesn't allow it, my parents went through a big one in 1969 and I remember feeling another in 1981.
It can happen or not, we're waiting, that's all we can do... Stu...did you saw my gift for you today?
