Did you make your avatar? GIMP is also a good program, but it doesn't have the "professionalism" like Photoshop has...and the tools I love to use such as the magic wand and the gradient tool. I use A LOT of tools on photoshop. Unfortunately, with my recent Windows 7 partition crapping out on my current laptop, I no longer have Photoshop. :( I'll be going to my friend's house probably tonight so I can retrieve his copy.
Chico, CA is waaaaaaaaaaaaay up north *points up the ceiling*. Well, not "up" there, but in Northern California. Nice theory. I don't think a tornado and an earthquake happening at the same time won't even happen anytime soon. Tornadoes are rare here, but earthquakes are quite common here. I went through a big one just a year ago. Not pretty.
