Kent,

I was browsing around, looking at the Commerce Business Daily awards
yesterday, and ran across this item.  Now, my question was: Whay would they
be drilling 'geothermal' test holes, $13millions worth, in CHINA LAKE???  I
reference you to the recent and regular small earthquakes in the area......
