Earthquake in Southern California just a few minutes ago. I was listening to Jim Rome (Sports talk radio), and in mid-interview, he says - "Whoa -that was a good jolt. The building's swinging right now."

Amazing how calm he was in the middle of a quake.

They're saying 5.8, centered under Chino Hills.

Keep yer heads down out there!

I believe in solving problems, not sharing them.


Well, it wasn't TOO bad. And I'm almost on top of it. I didn't even lose the document I was working on!

A 5.8, you'd certainly notice it. Might jingle the glasses in the cupboards a little.

You know, to this day I still won't let the glasses' edges touch when I put them away in the cupboards. My wife asks why, and I have to laugh - it's so they won't rattle when we have a tremor!

'Course, that's all left over from growing up in Taiwan and Monterey (Fort Ord). We don't get a lot of earthquakes in Texas. Still, I'm prepared if we do! :)

It was Global Warming.

If we all switched to wind power and stopped driving cars the Earth would never move...

I felt it pretty good. I was babysitting in a house filled with glass, tall book cases and sharp, pointy things. Had a wee bit of panic trying to figure out a safe place for the both of us!

Thank god the weather wasn't particularly hot. It drives me up the wall when people sagely say Yep, this was earthquake weather.

Shit, I figured you'd blame it on Iranians, Iraqis, or other "terrist"...

Hey, now that you mention it, it DOES feel like earthquake weather in Texas! (Sorry - I couldn't resist)

I had just downloaded a dashboard widget called the Ayn Rand Lexicon.
The exact second I double-clicked on the Zip file is when the quake struck.

Y'know, ever since I bought The Fountainhead, everybody's been giving me a hard time: "Yikes! Don't read Ayn Rand! She's a Fascist!"
Now the gods are joining in!

Read The Fountainhead, then try Atlas Shrugged. They've changed my life. Twice.

So "God" sent the terrorists? How can you possibly fight them, then, if they be God's will?

I have a vote and I'm not afraid to use it!


Drat ! My home is still standing.

But everyone's OK. That makes up for it.
