Scary stuff, avis. ..the Blizzard of Aaahhs, a GREAT movie!!...Went and saw Touching the Void last weekend. I shXX you not, a must see movie. They shot on location, parts of it anyway, around Chamonix… I’ve always liked suspense-thriller flicks. Having mother nature as the source puts new meaning into the genre of film...Haven’t seen a good flick like that in quite some time.. Ran into Plake skiing at Kirkwood about 15yrs ago. Cool guy.

minor quakes have been hitting northern CA since Sunday morning over there (Sunday night over here). http://www.sacbee.com/state_wire/story/6735774p-7686930c.html The quakes that hit San Jose (3:01am, Monday and aftershocks), would have been just after the quake up in Tohoku. ..eery. Has anyone else noticed a rash of quakes it seems everywhere?
