Jon--

Just read a news blurb about the Hayward Fault. Seems it is prime for a
major slip. Is there any talk about it out there, or are the media just
starved for news?

Max

Just got back from a couple of days sailing... We've known about the fault
for a long time, but I don't know what's new, since I've been away. What did
they say? I believe it's due before the San Andreas.

Just got back from a couple of days sailing... We've known about the fault
for a long time, but I don't know what's new, since I've been away. What
did they say? I believe it's due before the San Andreas.

The article dealt with a woman who lives on the fault--it runs through the
street in front of her home--who is experiencing a lot of shifting and
settling of her house. Cracks appear daily in the walls and ceilings and
the doors don't work properly. The gate on her front fence is about 3" from
the latch side, and the street is buckling out front. Some geologists were
also quoted as saying that the Hayward is far more dangerous to the Bay Area
than the San Andreas, and it could have lasting repercussions on the bay
itself if it slips fully. They felt it was really ready to let go, and
every day it doesn't slip is just building the pressure more greatly,
leading to a more catastrophic quake. Doesn't sound good, but I'm not a
geologist. That's why I asked if there is any current fear/talk of a really
big quake along that fault.

Max

I didn't hear anything unusual in the last few weeks. I've always heard that
in the short term it could be more dangerous, but that the SA would probably
be bigger. Who knows... we're all going to die someday anyway. :-)

True, but I'd prefer later over sooner. And I was really hoping for an MI
while having sex with a woman 1/3 my age when I'm 80.

With "a woman" or with your wife. :-)

J. will stick a knife in your heart....that's where the MI will come
from if you do that...

That's fine--I'll already be dead from ecstasy (the emotion, not the drug).

Well, not the current one, anyway.
