She was a trusty source after every quake. She left in 2016.

Many years ago I was living across the street from a public park. Suddenly there was a window-rattling BOOM. Holy cow, had someone set off a bomb in the park?! Nope, nothing. I learned a few days later that a teeny, tiny tremor had been recorded in the area. It had been recorded by that famous seismic research institute in So Cal, the name of which escapes me but their regular TV expert was a husky gal with a haircut like my dad's.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6935370618605188900.post-1542128929542653942018-07-28T20:33:50.590-04:002018-07-28T20:33:50.590-04:00Lightning, I've lost 2-3 modems during my Paco...Lightning, I've lost 2-3 modems during my Pacoenterprises internship (10 years?). We have loose phone wires on the window, once watched lightning strike down the road while sparks came out of the wire on the window. Stopped using a landline, now full wireless, slower but worth it for the peace of mind. We sit on a ridge of red iron sandstone. brucenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6935370618605188900.post-34251186351907836312018-07-28T07:45:41.619-04:002018-07-28T07:45:41.619-04:00Haw!
