Chris, our son and VP of Apple Physical Therap was in San Diego picking up a Doctorate in Physical Therapy. On Sunday he took his wife Eiko and 2 of our grand-kids, Taisei and Kenji to the San Diego Zoo, one of the worlds largest and best. We spoke with him live through Facetime. Eventually he ran out of power then swithed to Apple Phone and sent us this picture of a tiger we had seen running a few seconds ago.. Zoos and technology are fascinating...this certainly  wouldn't have happened a few years ago....

A magnitude-6.1 earthquake struck the North Bay early Sunday, injuring more than 100 people, causing extensive damage to buildings in downtown Napa and Vallejo and sparking a fire that destroyed four homes, authorities said.The quake, the largest in the Bay Area since the Loma Prieta earthquake of 1989, struck 3 miles northwest of American Canyon at 3:20 a.m., the U.S. Geological Survey said. It was felt as far away as Chico and Fresno, the USGS said.
Gov. Jerry Brown declared a state of emergency for California and said state resources would be mustered to areas hit by the quake, including Napa, Solano and Sonoma counties.
Hardest-hit was Napa, about 6 miles northwest of the quake's epicenter. Officials at Queen of the Valley Medical Center in Napa said 120 people had been injured and that three were in critical condition, including a boy who was hurt by debris from a chimney. The boy was airlifted from Napa to a trauma center.
