So since the Pacific Northwest is at risk of a major quake/tsunami in the "anytime" future, authorities and experts are busily installing an emergency warning system that would automatically open firehouse doors, slow or stop trains, divert motorists from collapse-risk bridges, shut down power and gas lines, etc.

Last year I had a "discussion" with my doctor who wanted me to pay $90 a year to have my medical data stored on a web-access server so he and I could access my information when needed. When I expressed concern over security he assured me "It's completely secure." Bullshit. Strongly worded opinion follows. And he's my ex-doctor.

These are people still living in the 1960s mentally ("Technology will be wonderful!"), and ignoring the 2015 news reports daily.

It will probably happen when Al Gore is visiting so they'll have snow storm on top of everything else.
