: Let's see, how did Terry not calling Xavier result in the tsunami in Asia.
: If she had called Xavier, that would have taken the place of other plans which he resorted to. The fact that he was one extra car at a precise point on the road caused the sailor who was trying to get to work before his ship set out to be delayed by the traffic light. Because this sailor was late, his ship left him, assuming he skipped out...unfortunately he was the chief exploratory drilling technician signed for this expidition to plumb the possibility of fossil fuels under the ocean floor. Since he wasn't there the second technician had to fill the roll. But his slight miscalculation...or possibly few too many test wells in a certain area... or else his lack of experience about sensitive areas of ocean bottom (we can never be too certain of these things), led his expidition to destabilize the crust which eventually created a surge in magma that ruptured the ocean floor thus allowing the plates to slip in such a way that the earthquake occured in the pacific, actually miles from the drilling site. And then the rest in on the news.
: Now I'm still working on the iraq crisis...but I have a suspicion it has to do with a particular flea which Buddy happened to scratch off only minutes before Terry entered her house...
Astounding. And why are you not writing fiction?
