Beauties (Pictures) of your Country

When Ranier blows it will make Mt. St. Helen look like a backyard firework.  The worse part is that it will also trigger the Cascade fault.

Yes, it seems if we follow the lines of the catastrophic then Seattle and surround areas will either be destroyed by a gigantic tidal wave or a catasclasmic eruption that will in one way or another possibly destroy the entire N. Western part of the USA!

In other words, all of you living on the Left Coast, sorry the West Coast, should follow the same directions that I had to follow during a grade school student during the Cuban crisis, that is; "Bend over! Place your head under your desk! And then; "Kiss your ass goodby!"

Goodby, left coast! We will not really miss you!

If someone wants to make a big deal about what I wrote above, then you must also undertand that my current wife and I both lived in the Seattle area back in 1970-72! But, then we did not know each other! But, we did undertand the weird background of the locals!

Yes, I am sure you are correct! But, as I mentioned, I lived in the Seattle-Tacoma area! Hatred of Southerners was very apparent then! As was the delight of the locals to deride Viet Nam veterans!
