"(I'm also an extra-class amateur radio operator, not that it means anything)"
Sorry, PB, not to me. What does "extra class" mean?

Former Ham, PirateBoy, though it's been Quite Some Time since I earned my tech ticket. CQ?
Never mind that I'd rather CQ the feisty females who peppered this thread while I was working at The Airport Job this evening.
Right -- as if Mrs. WriterDude would approve.

Annie WBH: You live in Ventura County. Clean ceilings are not your greatest concern. MOVE INLAND! (waves to you from Colorado)
(PS: The balloons will do you no good...)
Hugs from on high and here's hoping you know how to dodge the waves,

Southerngirl: "Extra Class Ham" means, um, just that. PB, please edify, because I'm going to bed.
Good night, all --

AnnieWBH - WriterDude is right. My ex worked in Santa Barbara for a couple of years, and everytime I drove through Ventura County on my way up there I'd think about what would happen to me if a tidal wave came at that very moment!!!
But then I'm paranoid about almost everything! :)
But it could happen, ya know!

Writerdude, Eleanor - thanks for your concern, but after the wave hits, we'll then be struck with a wave of hysterical newsreporters, who will transmit video of my flooded house nationwide. At that point my cell phone will ring. It will be my mother saying, "You know, you've got cobwebs on the ceiling."
saras, odziez - polish spam on THIS blog? That's like trying to hold up a gun store. Go back whence you came before I launch enough bad polish jokes to singe all the hair out of your ears.

"Somehow I think ya gotta be a little cracked to come up with an idea like that. And a little scrambled to try it to see if it works!"
I may be a little cracked but for goodness sake I never expected anyone to take this 2002 spoof seriously. It was a joke guys! Suzzanna Decantworthy - for goodness sake :)
Charlie.

I don't know much about the science of cell phones. But I am good at spotting b.s. for the sake of humor (I am a Dave Barry fan, after all!)
I did make grilled cheese sandwiches on a clothing iron when I was in college, though.
