Ric,
Absolutely correct!!!!!! ;-)

The only time I really felt an earthquake was because my wife was in a hurry 
to go to the Mall. Rushing out the door I forgot to take a camera and felt 
naked without part of my clothing. ;-) Obviously the camera.... with film! 
:-)

In the Mall an earthquake began strong enough to feel floor rolling and 
things sway but not creating major damage. Realizing what was happening and 
no camera, trust me my language at the moment isn't printable! ;-)

But anytime I've had a camera rarely does anything of this nature happen, 
planes don't crash, let alone vehicles, people don't jump off high rise 
buildings or other fun picture things. Occasionally I get a nice burst of 
sunshine on a no-nothing scenic. ;-)

But like you, we've contributed to the safety of the world any number of 
times without our camera. ;-)

Never mind the American Express card.... "Don't leave home without it." 
It's far more important to... "Never leave home or anywhere without your 
camera!" Because if you do the world will come unglued while you stand there 
screaming like a banshee with out one. ;-)
