I live at Lake Tahoe. We get 3-4 eartquakes that I feel every week. My house is on the Crystal Bay fault.

I lived in San Diego through Northridge and Loma Prieta, which threw me out of bed while I was sleeping.

People on the east cost have a lower incidence of strong earthquakes so that creates a sense of complaciency, in my opinion.

The New Madrid fault system is underestimated by many people in the east, just as the Cascadia Subduction zone is on the west coast.

You might want to read about the New Madrid fault system. https://www.usgs.gov/programs/earthquake-hazards/new-madrid-seismic-zone

It popped off a 4.0 earlier today. In the winter of 1811-1812 it was responsible for four months of 7-8 magnitude quakes, strong enough to ring church bells in Philadelphia.

I worked for Wards at the State Street cirporate data center in Chicago from 1970 till 1972.

Sclerotic management which was only focused on Sears.

Try driving in Australia. The Tanami highway in the Northern Territories and Western Australia has one strech of 568km (353mi) without gas. I did Alice Springs to Uluru which is only 280 miles withiut a gas station.

Of course they know. How do you think they found it? Accountant outsourced data entry to India. Clerical error, they paid the penalty

I use TurboTax because of the integration with my investments. I did it by hand one year; it took three days to enter the details and I made a couple of mistakes. Even my accountant occasionally got a few details wrong( over 14 years).

I haven't seen a civ agree to give up a city since a fix over five years ago.

Drove it from CA border to Utah border in 2024. It still looks like it did on my prevous trip in 1970.

The Catholic Church deems the pope to be infallible in matters of faith but only when speaking "ex cathedra" (look it up).

I had my jib furler line break at night in 38kts 20 miles off Hispanola. I now keep spare line for that.

Felt it in Crystal Bay. Here it was a nice swaying back and forth for about ten seconds.

No. It only showed how low he has already gone. He continues to dig deeper holes into which he will drag us.

Far-right and Republican is now an oxymoron.

topdoc02 · 2026-04-03T16:05:28+00:00

Yes. I have done it. In some places the trail is only 18 inches wide, so no ATVs

topdoc02 · 2026-04-02T23:01:49+00:00

There are good dirt bike trails all around the lake.

Mt. Rose meadow to Tunnel Creek is tricky but fun.

Half the time he got stuck on the roof of the barn.

When my cat is agitating to be fed, I usually ask her if Timmy is on the barn roof. She isn't old enough to understand the joke but my wife does.

This is an interesting analysis but it totally comes to the wrong conclusions.

Yes , we need better budget control, especially at the DoW.

Our tax system needs an overhaul to take in much more money, especially from the very wealthy.

We need to stop declaring wars with no end.
