Well, except for that one, but hey, we'd know that one was coming ..... you made it official just now! ;-)
After that then we'd be in the clear other than the fault's neighbors complaining about all the continuous racket coming from the fault all hours of the night.
Society needs my big-picture, outside-the-box mad genius. ;-p

I was in the habit of heading out to Parkfield fairly regularly (once every other week or so for dinner at the Parkfield Cafe) during the drilling for the SAFOD project. One could drive right up to the gate of the place which was right up the road from Parkfield. The workers (who worked in shifts, 24-7) would eat in the cafe as would the geologists (who still do).
I just now got this brilliant idear ..... we need to lube the entire SAFZ ..... drill bore holes along the fault and inject pressurized K-Y Jelly into the fault zone. Presto, NO QUAKES! ;-p
