23. Dunno, 6.4 is getting up there

and the damage is certainly photogenic. Maybe they'll bother with some pics tomorrow.

Northern CA is rural, wild country, lousy with government phobes fired up on old time religion, anti tax retirees in elaborate houses surrounded by the kind of forest that tends to explode instead of burn and does it fairly frequently, and a few very rare diehard hippie types.

It didn't appeal to me for the same reason the PNW didn't, I wanted to get away from rust and mildew. When I finally left Boston, I headed for the desert.
