Earthquake Part Deux
Apparently I attract earthquakes. Today we had a quake that was the same magnitude of the one a week and a half ago, but this time we were at work. I felt the shaky-shake from the ground floor and everyone looked around saying the standard, "did you feel that?", and, "was that an earthquake?". I proclaimed loud and clear that I did feel it and it was an earthquake. I do have to pretend to be a bit of an expert being from California and all. Although I've felt more quakes here in the past two weeks that I have in 25 years of being firmly planted on California soil. The irony followed me here too, apparently.

I thought it was a complete let down... I didn't even feel it!
What?! You haven't even felt 2 earthquakes here your whole life? You must have been driving or moving around like that when they happened. I have felt about a dozen in the last 25 years. Just a couple of those were decently large. Well, I hope the Australian earthquakes will stop for you. But, yeah, you probably have to act calm, cool and collected about it, being from California. "Earthquake?....yeah, whatever....."
Stay safe! LOVE!!
Yeah, and Texans might say, "yew had a torNAdo set down? Anyone kilt? Lose anything?" Different places, different emergencies. Non - Californians consider earthquakes to be the absolute worst imaginable possible anomaly. I, myself, have developed a fear of hail storms with hail the size of large ping pong balls smashing down at 10 billion miles per hour.....

We had an earthquake at work yesterday. Actually, two. No one cared.
