Me too, happy 'bout that, Clare, but ya know, we Californians are ALWAYS expecting that one big super-quake..... the quake of the century, if not the quake of the millennium, to strike at any moment. That's almost a "given," considering several active major fault-lines crisis-cross the state. It's kinda an "Oh well, if the only way to live without the perpetual threat of the "next big one" hanging over is to move to another state, we'd rather take our chances that the "big one" will strike when we're long gone or on a vacation to Pittsburgh" like attitude. As for me, I ain't planning on moving to Pittsburgh, or points east, but I COULD be induced to move to Paris or maybe London <LOL>.
