OK, Chicken Little - It just sounded like you were both doing more than usual...like you were really expecting a disaster. As for living on the San Andreas fault (which I gather is just the largest of 7 in the area...), you chose it, so you need to expect it, I guess. We have the east coast fault not far from here, but I don't expect it to do much in my lifetime--altho I could always be surprised. On the other hand, the largest nuclear reactor in the east stands right on our fault......... I have just a little freezer...mostly what's in it is chicken necks and wings.........not for me. When I bought it, the salesman said "I have one of these little ones, and all I keep in it is ice cream." I came back with "Mine is to keep chicken wings in." He invited me to a party, where we could share the contents of our respective freezers...........I laughed all the way out of the store! I also just heard a commercial for some little generator that could run an entire house, that would turn on automatically, and that cost under $100. Next time I'll pay more attention!
