Some Californians are buying land east of the San Andreas fault right

Vegas has odds the whole state falls into the ocean. In Nevada, we the
beach front property.

Which says a great deal about the ignorance of Vegas. Seems they don't
realize that the San Andreas is _west_ of San Francisco, and it's a
strike-slip fault where one side is moving north and the other south. So,
one day, Los Angeles will be west of San Francisco instead of south of it.

I guess you missed my 'intended' sarcasm about betting odds.

Doing sarcasm is hard to translate to text IMO. I think that is the
reason for emoticons, no? ^^
