    Thanks for the info. Generator with large fuel tank has been moved up the priority list. Haven't heard nothing about that in the years I've been up here.

    If that does unfold the way they say in the article, The big towns up the way may have issues because they are built on flood plain. They are kinda low at about 200 foot elevation. Not sure if the wave will be able to push up the river that far.

    Cute little town I live just outside of will be rattled hard. Not sure how well the old rotting commercial buildings will survive.

    The thing I noticed they did not mention in the article is what, if anything, it would do to the volcanoes. On a clear day I can see 3 from just up the road.

    Yes , You are in a safe zone. I am not . Not in CA or WA. It has me spooked somewhat. But i need to get over it , if it isn't an earthquake , it is a hurricane , etc etc. It always something . :cool:
    Oh wow , You are right . Do you think maybe , the volcanos may be far enough on the eastside of I-5. My mind is seeing them erupt when this quake rattles them. They make it sound like , the sound we know now , wont be there any longer. There will be a lot of mad Whales ...LOL

    I guess that's the nice part about being up here near Santa's house. No hurricanes, tornadoes, volcanoes, or earthquakes to worry about...if you can handle the air hurting your face for 5 months out of the year.

    87A9AA40-47B7-4B30-B716-706343380276.png I got these while in line at a Shipper. The Guy in front of me opened his doors at the Guard Shack, and threw 2 crushed cases out on the ground. Totally rude thing to do. I picked them up, dates are good. Just refused for being open. Decided to keep it. Lot of B12, B6 and Magnesium, Niacin. A bunch of other good stuff. Haven’t taken any supplements in years. Used to along with working weights and punching bag. I was in great shape, 30 yrs ago. Lol.

    I hope everyone posts pictures of their projects in progress. Building houses, remodeling kitchen, bath. I enjoy that kind of stuff. Got a lot to do myself. Seeing others progress is motivating for me.

    If you have access to an address to any town here in the Great State of Texas you can get a library card to the Houston Public Library for free with full electronic access to all of their online collections. This includes the past additions of Houston Post newspaper from the late 1880 to about 5 years ago for free. They are scanned into pdf form and the pdf viewer was updated recently and is now a little chunky scrolling pages- just like the old version better.
    Again you don’t have to live in Houston for this, just have to live in Texas. The reason they are open to all residents of Texas is a big rich oil guy left them hundreds of millions back in the 1960s so they opened up their library to the whole state.

    There is a way to get the New York Times electronic edition Subscription for a dollar a week on a student account. I gave my son an account and keep the login information. It comes with full access to the daily paper and a service called Timesmachine. It is very easy to use and full access to all additions from the start of the Times.

    A little warning the current New York Times editorials are crazy liberal and will make a normal reasonable person mad as hell.
    And the ones from past 25 years or older are actually very conservative by today’s standers.

    Too bad my script to the Ft Worth Star Telegram does not have access to past archive editions.

    History has a way of repeating itself and it is much more insightful reading what was actually reported during the time a big event happened and what was going on weeks or months before the big event. It is also a good way to call BS when someone is doing the 20/20 look back or Monday morning quarter backing about what happened, when you can read and pick out the clues that happens before a big event.

    Hope this helps with your hobby of looking at and reading old newspapers.

    It did my heart good to see some spoiled brats having to do some honest work for once in their lives.
