Hi Jeannie,

Wow, I am impressed! Taking a break during an earthquake to do a little
educational reading would almost certainly qualify as hard core. You're my
new hero(ine). Proof at last - tuning Baldwins makes you fearless and
stimulates intellectual curiosity. Joseph took the earthquake opportunity
to observe dynamic responses in the lyre props and structural bracing under
that Steinway, and Del stepped out to eliminate the disruptive floor joist
noises from his contemplation of the amazing range of feline sensory
receptors. I'm pretty sure they have both tuned Baldwins too.
