Was that show on the history channel? They were talkin SF and gold rush there. Talked about how different Cal was because we got our start with the 49ers, and not Boston or London or NY. For example, in honor of the quake,... If, as they say, God spanked this town For being much too frisky, Why did He burn His churches down And save Hotaling's Whiskey? [Poem on 1906 San Francisco earthquake and fire, in which the city's largest whiskey distillery was left unscathed] ==================================== Also, Keith the O was talkin' quake. After the quake, Teddy Roosevelt sent help at once, Congress met at 4AM to appropriate money, and the army had used all their tents to house 250,000 homeless in 6 days. Boy, we came a long way in the 99 years between the quake and Katrina.
