Technically you would think with the advancements in the siesmic industry it would be a detectable zone...but apparently it is something that is either not looked for or missed...I'm sure as occurances become more frequent somthing is going to change...the sad part of this buisness is that things don't get changed until people die from it!!.. i have lost quite afew friends in this industry... and i don't believe i wil be around when it becomes a safe way to make a living!

Didn't notice Sophies, just a quick glance at the Midas whlile heading east on 4th ave looking at all the old stores remembering the old hippie days on 4th ave. Man oh man, those were the days....
