It's like a science fiction movie . . .
the desperate people trying to get into hospitals for first aid, trying to commandeer buses to get out of the devastated city

gas prices through the roof

people confused and frightened all over the country

surreal . . .

14. For a nice comfortable place to visit in So Cal , try Anza


San Jacinto Peak from GPS site ROAD, on Table Mountain SE of Anza, CA, early on the afternoon of 17 April 1998. San Jacinto Peak is the highest point in Riverside County at 10,804 feet (3,300 meters), whose east face is among the steepest (if not the steepest) in North America; it plunges about 10,000 feet into the northern part of the Coachella Valley in only a short horizontal distance. This picture is looking northward

3. And I suppose Bushboy,
