It doesn't look good.

Oh, and one more thing. An earthquake AND the "storm of the century"
in the same week? Surely this is some Old-Testament punishment for
something...


That earthquake shook one of my lathes so that it was tapering a couple
of thousandths per foot and I had a job on Thursday that required
holding a thousandth in a seven inch bore and turn. I wondered at first
why it was tapering so much and then realized that it got shook by the
quake. It normally cut straight within a tenth or two for the length of
the lathe.

I guess next month we get the locusts.
