Quinton Update

Our grandson, Quinton is almost 6 months old, so this update is probably overdue. He seems to be getting along fine under Heather's constant care. He is still a little small for his age, so Heather has started to supplement his diet of mama's milk with some rice cereal and vegetables. Like most folks his age, he has some difficulty getting it into his mouth.We sure are glad we decided not move to Washington state. In Yorba Linda we can see Quinton on a regular basis.

Earthquake Again!

This time it was a cluster of 7 small quakes that occurred Thursday and Friday the 23rd and 24th of April.

They ranged in magnitude from 4.0 down to 1.8. They were centered in the Chino Hills about 2 miles north and east of Yorba Linda, roughly 5 miles from the Williamsons' house. They were all very short in duration, and caused little damage. Some of the pictures hanging on our walls were tilted a little.

The quake we had last year was also centered in the Chino Hills, but a local seismologist believes this group appear to have originated from a different location. An article in the Los Angeles times stated that the number of quakes in our area that are magnitude 3 and above has increased in the last year, but they are not sure what it means.

I think it means there are a lot of geologic faults in the area--that's about all.
