but you're right there are tons of exceptions. Also, if you ever travel through Nevada, a casino/breakfast buffet is great to eat at. I don't gamble, but they offer rel inexpensive decent food so that gamblers will have reason to stay longer. There's a bunch of 'em out there too. Sierraman - In 1988 I seriously considered moving my practice to Weed, Calif., and buying a home at Lake Shastina, a resort area near Weed. The lot we chose was 15 miles as the crow flys from the top of Mt. Shasta! It is a spectacular part of God's world which 'makes it's own weather' (as most very high mountains do). After doing some extensive research into the tectonic plate phenomena which exists up and down the entire West Coast area - we decided that - no - we would seek our mountains elsewhere to retire. That is why we are in Colorado at the present time. However, Mt. Shasta is a magnificent and spectacular link in the Cascade Chain of (Extinct???) Volcanos - among them being Mt.

There is going to be "THE BIG ONE" and that is not just conjecture - it WILL happen sooner or later! The Pacific tectonic plate is sliding Eastward UNDERNEATH the American Continental plate - and it is moving all of the time. It may be five days, or it may be five years, or 500 years, but it WILL happen and goodby California and a large part of the West Coast and perhaps the Americas when it does. I know this sounds pretty morbid, and I am not a morbid person - facts are facts. As far as knowing if it will "blow" in 25 years - NOBODY really KNOWS when. I feel that I had brains enough to get the hell out of the state while I had the chance! Besides, it was too %(*@*$#&*(*%!(^ Liberal for this Republican! Don't get me started!!Sierraman said:
My Gosh - if I saw a naked lady in a clawfoot bathtub, I would at least stay long enough to determine if she was a manican or - or - or really real! :shock: I think it is mandatory to make absolutely certain of your facts before you run out and start a rumor!! :shock:nr said:Tumbleweed: "They also have a clawfoot bath tub in there with a lady manican in it.

Wish we could do that for a party. what a hoot!

Sierraman - you will notice that I put the word "Extinct" in parenthesis followed by ???. Agreed, inactive - AT THE MOMENT! Crater Lake is extinct (also the DEEPEST lake in Us - don't know how deep!) I understand the concerns regarding Yellowstone - however THE BIG ONE is, in California, relating to the entire west Coast earthquake Faults. I lived in Southern California for 35 years, and you are RIGHT - Weird and Fruits and Nuts! And, of course, we have all known of or have heard of the 'strange' and 'odd' and 'fruity' limp wrists in that mecca of homosexuality - San Franqueersco!! Again - one reason we are not there - ANYMORE, Baby! Don't even like to return to visit friends. I know one can't generalize - but the Left Coast comes pretty close to qualifying.Sierraman said:DOC HARRIS said:Sierraman - In 1988 I seriously considered moving my practice to Weed, Calif., and buying a home at Lake Shastina, a resort area near Weed.

Doc Harris, the word extinct? no, you mean inactive. Very few volcanoes in north america are nonextinct, because most of them are. But Mt. Shasta is inactive, not extinct. About THE BIG ONE, this was speaking of Yellowstone, so you may mean goodbye Wyoming, Idaho, Montana and..., and like TXTibbs suggested, probably 100,000 yrs. IF it is ever to happen. Besides, I don't think the world will be around in 100,000 years anyway. As for a liberal California, it really does seem liberal, especially on TV, but I know a lot of people there, and none of them are liberal, they're all staunch conservative Republican, or a regular one. It must be Southern California that gives it that liberal feel, who-wee! yes, that is it. It is so weird down there.
