The CSL is safer in Chesterville compared to Huntington Beach CA where Chuck
and I both live.  Chesterville may also have to worry about earthquakes, but
here in HB, we also get to worry about tsunamis:

Chuck lives on the edge of one of the moderate tsunami runup zones, whereas I
live in the middle of the zone.  So don't expect to hear from either one of us
any time soon after the Big One strikes followed by the Big Wave.  ;-)
