Today the Cypress is all low level, so safer for all, the Bay bridge just was replaced, updated, now they have to take the old one apart, as they can't just blow it apart... many years of work left... Up here lots of shakin' but nobody in the family harmed... It's not the last, there will be more... Constant shifting... We get lulled into complacency, but we keep our EQ Policy paid up...

I was at a conference in Dusseldorf, Germany when the quake hit. When I and our marketing vice-president, both from SoCal, walked into breakfast that morning at the hotel one of our customers from the UK told us that an earthquake had hit California. When we asked him where, he said south of San Francisco. Well that covered a lot of territory but that was all they had heard. I immediately went back up to my room and turned on the TV. Now this before there was anything like CNN International so I had to listen to a Germany station which was overdubbing an American newsfeed in German but you could still hear the American announcer and I finally figured out where it had occurred. I then called my wife and she confirmed that it was confined to the Bay area and that all was well back home in Orange Co.
