Jeanette_Isabelle Carpal Tunnel Registered: 11/13/06 Posts: 2986 Loc: Nacogdoches, Texas	Originally Posted By: hikermor "Home is where we are comfortable" - you are so correct! To illustrate - Dallas, where you are comfortable, was to me a drab, dreary wasteland from which I was thankfully delivered as a teenager, finally finding comfort in the deserts and mountains of Arizona, and still later, California. I take it you would probably not feel comfortable in environments which fit me like a glove, and vice versa. It takes all kinds, and isn't that a wondrous thing? This is one part. The other is identity. "City gal" is one of the things that have defined who I am. Remove that and I either need to adopt a new identity or I would be miserable. "Small town girl" isn't who I am, never will be.

Here's an example of current training/preparation for such an event in California, where waves are often generated, whether from near or afar... _________________________ Geezer in Chief

wildman800 Carpal Tunnel Registered: 11/09/06 Posts: 2851 Loc: La-USA	Upgraded my sewage disposal equipment for the camper. Purchased more emergency rations for the BoB's and GHB's. Finished putting 4 survival themed geocaches together. We will deploy 1 during each of the next 4 camping trips that we make with the camper. _________________________ QMC, USCG (Ret) The best luck is what you make yourself!
