Well the tremors have picked up now and rumors are rife about another large earthquake. But rumors have been flying all day about no water, polluted water, airport open then closed and so on.
its safe out in my little farmhouse and I got a crew out there and some kitties to look after. Charlie’s story is starting to circle around the web, despite the mercenary nature of his “companion” on the trip. That dude is hoarding all the images cuz he sees his big chance coming up.

That is dope/not dope. We just aired that video on channel 12 in Portland.
