MaryLou:  We did not feel anything here in our part of LV, but we are in the far northwest part of the city.  The South end would have been closer to LA.<br /><br />Falina:  Our Siamese (who is an indoor cat) got out and ran away a couple of years ago in December.  He was gone for 22 days and we were frantic.  Did a cruise to Hawaii during the time he was gone and were getting cell phone calls about spotings while we were in Hawaii.  On Christmas Day one of our neighbors rang our door bell and said she thought she had just seen him.  Sure enough he was sitting on a wall one house away sunning himself.  He took off when I tried to touch him and we had a merry chase for about half an hour before one of our neighbors Grandaughter caught him and carried him home  He ran under our bed and stayed there for a day and a half.  His &quot;Brother&quot; the dog went under with him and stayed with him pretty much the whole time.<br /><br />His return was the best Christmas present we have ever gotten.&#33;&#33;<br /><br />Our older cat in a Tabby, but a lot older than yours she is 14 years old this year.  We got her from Animal Rescue where she was on Death Row, scheduled to be put down the next morning.  Her name is Duffy since she was born on St. Patrick&#39;s Day.  <img src="http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":biggrin:" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> <br /><br />Steve: Yep, had that water heater installed in February.  Don&#39;t know what the pilot light problem is, but one more time and I&#39;m going to call the manufacturer.<br /><br />Got our hotel and rental car reserved  in Palo Alto this afternoon through Priceline.<br /><br />Jenn: The buffet was great.  Ate way too much, as usual.  Then tonight one of the neighbors sent over two pies and a gallon of ice cream (for my upcoming birthday).  So we had to try the Apple pie and some ice cream tonight while watching the movie, Bruce Almighty.  Saving the Banana Cream for Thursday, my BD.<br /><br />Well this day is slowly winding down here in the West.<br /><br />Happy Trails,<br /><br />
