I heard from some people from my company who visited the Zion area the Labor
Day weekend there some impressive ground movements in the 5.9 quake last week.
They claim one area fell 50 feet.  They saw some houses that were rented in two
by the fissures.  The south entrance of Zion Park was closed to vehicles
the weekend, althought the park was still open.  They said camping and hiking
was quite pleasant without the crowds.

In fact, no, there are no missing decimal places in that depth.
Here is what the US Geological Survey's National Earthquake Information Center
had on that earthquake as of noon yesterday:


Date: September 02, 1992
Origin Time:  05:50:02.9 UTC
Latitude: 6.099 S
Longitude: 112.142 E
=> Depth = 636 km <=

Near Jawa, Indonesia

As Richard Stead said, depths of 600+ km, while not necessarily very common,
are certainly not unheard of in that area.

Help.....I have a '72 VW camper with the original curtains.  The sun
has finally gotten them, and they shred if you even look at them
cross-eyed! - let alone try to unsnap them!  :)

Several years ago, I had found a place in San Jose that would replace
them all - including the "permanent" one behind the closet, and the
one that covers the front windshield - for a very reasonable price.
However, the money I had put aside for it was used on a major repair
instead, and upon calling them recently, they no longer do it!

I am actually in Palo Alto, but would be willing to go a ways up &
down the Peninsula for a really good price.  I can supply the fabric,
or am willing to use theirs (if they have a decent selection).

The camper only has 42,000 miles on it, and we've kept it in tiptop
condition.  I hate to see the frayed fabric, but can't afford too
much money for esthetics on a car that mostly sits in the carport!

Thanks in advance.

Without commenting on whether services (such as education or welfare) should
be cut or taxes (for the rich?) should be raised, I had to comment on this
last little bigoted gem...

Er, would you like to let us in on where you can across the notion that
University of California students are rich?

While attending college over the course of 5 years in two different state's
public university systems (neither, admittedly, were California's), I don't
believe any of the other students I ran across could be characterized as
even remotely "rich" and many were as dirt-poor as anyone I've ever met.  It's
the sort of effect you get when you ask that an individul, in the course of
educating themselves, devote more time to it than a full time job.  (A full
time job is normally figured at 40 hours; a 15-hour class load is considered
quite moderate and professors routinely claim that it's expected you should
spend about 4-5 hours outside of class for each contact hour - thus, 75-90
hours.)  Naturally, we don't pay this individual for this, in fact, they pay
the university and, of course, that fee gets jacked up every year or two.

Now, if you're going to claim that this system's as it should be, I won't
argue with you. It's just that I guess I'm a little mystified at how these
"rich" college students got that way...unless you meant to say that a person
would have to *be* rich in order to be a college student in the first place,
nowadays.

Aside from that, when Bill Michel refered to "tax breaks for his wealthier
constituents", it doesn't sound much like he war refering to your secretary,
unless you pay her an awful lot.  Again, *I* don't myself claim to know who
benefits more from reducing taxation (Wilson's "wealthier constituents" vs.
your secretary) but if you want to take issue something Mr. Michel said, you
should address it directly and not insinuate something he obviously wouldn't
agree with.

Well, who is "us?" 

As a graduate of UCLA, while a student, I was not rich...but my parents,
like most of those with students in the UC system, did have a very nice
income...

..ah yes, I am certain all were the sons and daughters of sharecroppers 
and some even had parents who worked as slaves, reported to an overseer
and had to read their torn and tattered books by the light of a fire,
even during the day.

..well, perhaps we, I am refering to the "us" you mentioned above,
should just pay these people for doing  "us" the honor of going to
school. And how much was it exactly you were going to give this week?
Next week? For the year? Next year?.....
