Feel the quake?

I did. I was sitting in front of my computer. By the time I could type
USGS.gov they had it on the site!

What fraction of the Federal Budget actually pays for that?

Dear Everyone;

As the old Hemingway saying goes from For WhomThe Bells Toll - did you feel the earth move?

Ah yes at Outer Ocean Beach Richmond District the building did sway and crack a little. Now if we could only do something to stop that dang tsunami.

My guess is not much: knowing geologists and scientists in general, I am
pretty sure that this was originally hacked together by some guy in his
spare time, and he was probably told by a manager to stop at least once.

I don't usually reply to messages like this, but I was at a Red Cross
Disaster Services meeting when the quake hit, so let me put in a plug: the
Red Cross is an excellent way to walk the libertarian private charity
walk. We don't just do large disaster relief (like earthquakes, tsunami,
and hurricanes); we also respond to house fires, small floods, and any
other time accidents hit people (we once helped out a homeless guy whose
shopping cart had burned with all his posessions in it). We do coordinate
with the government, since we're chartered by international treaty, but we
get no governmental funding (and the DHS/FEMA badmouthing at meetings is
pretty funny sometimes). We also do first aid & CPR training, disaster
preparedness training, and a bunch of other stuff. Let me know if you're
interested, or visit <URL: http://www.bayarea-redcross.org/ >

Dear Harland;

Dear Everyone;

This is the video that got Josh in trouble with the Federales. Its a Quicktime video so if you don't have it free to get the basic Quicktime sort of like getting the free Adobe Reader. From the video posted there's nothing to discern except an arrest at the end of the video. It should work once it opens up to the url and a video screen comes on line click on the arrow style start button on the left side to start the video.

Dear Harland;

Todays Chronicle has an editorial in support of Josh titled Free Josh Wolf. I wrote an LTE about the situation but it was probably a little too blunt to get publsihed. Most likley if any LTE's are published about Josh it may be Friday..
