Been there done that about a week ago.


I was just watching a new docu on the SF earthquake with some never before seen footage of the freeway collapse on to the lower level.
Updates on those who survived on being sandwhiched in.

They had Dr. Betts who amputated the lil bambinos right on the scene give his version of an update.
Dr. Betts was part of a surgical team who worked on my son back about a year before the quake and he was a young compassionate Doc back then.

I hardly reconize him 20 yrs later. Still compassionate for sure but really aged by that California sun.

The sister to the lil boy is a very grateful mom of two lil ones.

I guess today Oct. 17 was the 20yr (or 19th) year from that date.

Still fresh in my mind of exactly where I was at that moment.

I just wanted to add that there was an oddball mini (very tiny) quake in northern North Carolina yesterday. Oddball because is it in an area that never, ever gets any sort of seismic activity. (Source, Drudge yesterday).

Just wondering, can Vedic astrology be applied to the PowerBall?

But seriously...would make you go 'hmmmmm' if something major did hit in that time frame.

I read a blip once . . . certainly on a par with a rumor . . .

that ET's insisted that our nuke tests rattled the fabric of the universe somehow that was destructive to their something or other . . . unspecified . . . and that they insisted we knock such off.

Certainly it's no rumor that Kim Bong Illiot is psychotic . . . at least in the sense of being rather out of touch with normal reality.

Go to the USGS World earthquake map and you can see these quakes are part of a pattern. Most of these large quakes have not been reported in the news. The pattern ran from West of India (earlier quakes that have now been dropped from the map) and split near Sumatra, one pattern ran SE and curved around E of Australia, the other NE & ending up in Alaska. Just following the Pacific Rim of Fire like they usually do, but showing up close enough in time to make the map together.
