So when the earthquake comes and the volcano spews on you what do
you do then?

Actually, several years back, one of those psychics said that Rainier
was gonna blow and destroy Tacoma plus global warming would raise the
sea level by 50 feet or more and it'd get tropical here. A friend who
believed that guy quit his job at Microsoft, giving up a lot of stock
options (which were actually worth something back then), and moved to
Arizona. I said I didn't see a downside to it! Urban reneweal (Tacoma
sucks! It'd be wonderful to have it destroyed in one fell swoop.) and
since I live about a mile from the shore and about 75 feet above sea
level, I'd probably wind up with tropical waterfront property. Again,
as far as I was concerned, there was no downside.

Of course, he was gasp! wrong and it never happened. My friend
actaully moved back to Seattle *before* the destruction due date
because he hated living in Arizona so much that he said he'd rather die
here than live there. He got a new job at Microsoft but had to start
from scratch on his new stock options. Idiot.

Frank - still waiting

I'm not really a superstitious guy; but you may be right! The last
world-class hurricane to hit the area was Camille in 69. Not long after
that I moved to Seattle and there were no world-class hurricane hits to
the area after that until I decided to go back to New Orleans to buy a
boat last year. Ack!

Except I'm kinda like Typhoid Mary. We came through just fine, even the
boat was essentially unscathed; it's our surroundings that get trashed.
Consider New Orleans and the Gulf Coast, not to mention South Florida,
where we apparently attracted Wilma.
