You've been asked several times if there are any unusual odors associated with the water. Any rotten egg odors? Do you have anything pipewrap designed to help prevent freezing like the electrical kind? I'd be interested to follow the information and data as I am a hydrogeologist.

Have you done a PH test on your well water? you said the water tasted sweet, that is usually what sulphur in small quantities will do to your water.

Radon gas is something to check for sure, also you will get other gases like;
Hydrogen sulphide (H2s!deadly stuff!) Carbon monoxide and dioxide have also been emmitted when seismic events occur

Here is some info on H2S..I had the training for it when I used to work for an oil company in Alberta Canada...

PROPERTIES OF H2S
COLOUR, Colourless
ODOUR, Very offensive, commonly referred to as odour of rotten eggs
VAPOUR DENSITY, 1.189 (Air=1.0) H2S is heavier than air
EXPLOSIVE LIMITS, 4.3 to 46. percent by volume in air
AUTO IGNITION TEMP, 260 degrees C
FLAMMABILITY, Forms explosive mixture with air or oxygen
WATER SOLUBILITY, 2.9 percent (2.9g/100 ml water at 20 degrees C

EFFECTS OF H2S (10,000 parts per million = 1 percent)
1 ppm - - - Can be smelled.
10 ppm - - - Occupational Exposure Limit (OEL) for 8 hours(Alberta)
15 ppm - - - OEL allowable for 15 minutes of exposure.
20 ppm - - - Ceiling OEL. At this level workers must wear appropriate breathing apparatus.
100 ppm - - - Loss of sense of smell in 2 to 15 minutes. Possible headache, nausea, throat irritation.
200 ppm - - - Sense of smell lost rapidly. Burns eyes and throat.
300 ppm - - - Immediately Dangerous to Life and Health (IDLH) level*. Positive pressure breathing apparatus required.
500 ppm - - - Loss of reasoning and balance. Respiratory disturbances in 2 to 15 minutes.
700 ppm - - - Immediate unconsciousness. Death will result if not rescued promptly.
1000 ppm - - - Causes immediate unconsciousness. Causes seizures, loss of control of bowel and bladder. Breathing will stop and death will result if not rescued promptly. Immediate resuscitation needed.
*IDLH in Alberta is 100 ppm - not because it is truly dangerous at this level but because sense of smell is lost.

Just keep an eye on it...stay safe

I don't know what happened, but this e-quake was the one I was talking about:

Bumpass Hell area

Anyone who chooses to live here deserves to be blown up by a volcano.

There was an earthquake, about 3.0, outside of Quincy on Jan. 19th, and a small one out of Redding within the last hour. As you know, Mt. Lassen has hot springs that approach 200 degrees at the surface. The whole areas is subject to siesmic activity and subsequent fluctuations of ground water.

I hear that the whole Yosemite valley is in the Long Valley Caldera (essentially, it's one big volcano). Two words:

Ruuuuu-uuun!

Here's an NPS site for Lassen Volcanic. Couple of neat pics. Bumpass Hell appears to be a fitting name.

You should buy a pH testing kit and see if it is turning acidic. SO^2 and SO^3 mixed with water become sulfurous acid and sulfuric acid.

THANKS,

I wasn't familiar with the Bible Codes links. I don't know that any of them would pass muster in terms of current criteria about statistical significance.

And, they are more lists of words than even phrases--not that that is a criteria--just a difference.

But certainly some of the lists of words seem thematic and certainly sobering.

Interesting.

I don't believe the Ark of the Covenant is in Ethiopia. Possible, I just seriously doubt it.

Wyatt's contentions are . . . interesting . . . but at least sound much more like something God would do than sending it to Ethiopia.

Breathing rocks can get challenging, too--especially for those of us with respiratory challenges already.

Here's a fascinating site on the 1915 Mt. Lassen eruption. Some incredible photos here, too.

Yosemite is NOT in the Long Valley Caldera.

And geothermal areas can change continuously for thousands of years without any "eruptions" at all.
