Birthday Jaunt (Semi-bead-related)

Dunka, Soozala. I understand Bisbee is about an hour away from
Tucson. I wasn't really looking for bead stores tho. Just
wondering what the general area was like in order to relocate there.

Thanks so much, Karen. Planning a little trip there in the
fall to scope the town out for possible relocation in a few years.
Jerome sounded fun, too. I'll have to see how close they are to
Bisbee.

Ooooh Linda! Okay, Jerome is rather far from Bisbee (it's northwest of
Phoenix) BUT there's a way cool little town that you really need to
investigate that's still south of Tucson but further west. Grab a map and
follow I-19 south out of Tucson. About 3/4 of the way to the Mexican border
is a little town called Tubac. It's a jewel of a town, and something of a
small artist's colony. There's also a small golf resort there (which was one
of the filming locations for the movie Tin Cup). It's one of my favorite
places to visit. They're building a few new areas up even as we speak, and
prices are pretty reasonable. There are also some great areas just south of
Tucson, like Green Valley (but that's more of a retirement area than
anything else).

Keep in touch about coming out, if ya need a guide.

Cool! We're looking at the southwest in general for relocation in about 10
years ourselves. Winter is harder on me every year, and if there's any stress
in late summer/early fall, I am pretty much out for the count til May (or
later). Kevin very much needs a dry, warm place too.

Cool maps! Thanks!

this list:
http://www.scecdc.scec.org:3128/rece...s/quakes0.html
is mind boggling

as is this one - all of the ones for the Bay Area in the last week:
http://www.scecdc.scec.org:3128/rece...Francisco.html

and the Long Valley Caldera
http://www.scecdc.scec.org:3128/rece...ng_Valley.html
is where the next volcano is expected to form.

And the last one was, oh, 97 years ago, no? That would scare me, if San
Francisco didn't have the most stringent building codes (for earthquakes) in

compared to the catastrophe we'd see if say New York had such an earthquake.

There was kind of a nasty one about 15 years ago, when that double-deck
bridge collapsed and all those people died.

Every person in the Bay Area felt it, too, except my stupid idiot ex-husband.
I just *knew* it would skip him, leaving one more Big Experience we didn't
share and would divide us, and I was right. He didn't know anything had
happened til he noticed all the traffic lights were dead -- and so was most of
the radio. Even people in huge semis felt it! Bleh :-P oooo ---barfing

Not too bad. I have had no headaches or problems
(other than a few memory things, but I sometimes
get that anyway, from the concussion. The ankle is
another story. The Dr. says to be patient, it will take
3 to 4 months to heal completely. I hate it when I
can't dance.
