When I was stationed at Beale, we'd sometimes drive to Reno on the
weekends by the "back" route (through the mountain forests - real pretty
country); anyway, on the way back, there's an aqueduct that looks like
the water is running uphill. ;-)

When I was at Beale AFB (mid-1970's), I was living in the on-base trailer
park. One day when some friends were over, we had a mild earthquake. At
the time, the conventional wisdom was "Get Outside!". The temblor was over
by the time we all got out to the front yard, when I realized, "Hey! This
is a mobile home! You can haul it down the highway at 55 MPH! What's a
little earthquake going to do to it?" ;-)

Cheers!

I used to live in northern California, and what Joerg describes isn't
anything like where I was, so, I now have Faith that he lives in Oregon.

I probably runs to the left, from which ever way you look at it too.
