- Name: Jim
- Location: of Jim and Peg's Habitat Home, High In The Mountains Of Southern California
We are a car-free retired couple living in a small 950 sq ft mountain cabin on less than 1/4 acre at 6,750 ft elevation. The native plant habitat we established on the property now exceeds 100 species and we grow organic vegetables on a small portion of the yard. In our continuing efforts toward simple, sustainable and rewarding lives we bid our last car "Good Riddance" in January of 1997. Earth Home Garden represents what we love in life; our bountiful planet EARTH and all her natural diversity; our cozy little cabin HOME and the family it has sheltered for 29 years; and the GARDEN around us which nurtures so many native creatures and helps feed us as well. It's our PLACE TO BE........... ***NOTICE*** Unless otherwise stated, all photos and text posted here are the copyrighted property of Jim Otterstrom, who hereby grants permission to re-print or re-publish his work, freely, for non-commercial purposes, so long as it is un-altered and credit is given.

Ahhhh Kiwi...
Thank you so much!
I've been thinking about you guys.
How's everything?
Did you fare OK in the earthquake?

We had 3 horrible quakes where we live Jim - but nothing like the poor people of Christchurch! Their nightmare goes on and on, with over 250 aftershocks (since the big one which was the same magnitude as Haiti!) Many of the after shocks are over 5 magnitude. Last night they had 11 quakes overnight! Their nerves are frazzled. Terrible!!
Dear Kiwi-
We haven't heard too much on the news here since the initial quake but I did a little checking up on NZ news this morning and read that you've had 717 aftershocks in the past couple of weeks.
Believe me, living within a few miles of the infamous San Andreas Fault for my entire life has provided me with some harrowing earthquake experiences and I have a pretty good idea of what you're going through.
Our last big one was in 1992 when we were awakened about 5am by the 7.3 Landers quake centered about 25miles from here (as a crow flies) followed 3 hours later with our own 6.5 quake right here in Big Bear. Most of the masonry buildings and chimneys in the valley were destroyed and the aftershocks went on for months.
Everyone was on edge for a very long time...
Did you have any damage at your place? I hope things start calming down soon.
It's been pretty quiet here, seismically speaking, since the early '90s, but for the past year or so we've been experiencing clusters of small temblors again.
Anyhow, our hearts reach out to you Kiwi, we know what that's like firsthand.
Love,
Jim & Peg
