I'm hardly disappointed! Somehow I don't imagine that a major Li> earthquake is equitable to, say, the Whirling Teacups at DisneyLand ;) Ar> So what'd you think of Sunday morning's little trio, if you were awake Ar> for 'em? They woke me up... Li> I was awake on the 'pooter, actually. I thought an M-80 went off.. Li> then for the other one I felt the building lift and land.. was *very* Li> strange. The broom fell of the wall and the cat panicked, but other Li> than that, just spiffy. Yup. Just loud. Ar> Actually, my co-worker posited that what we percieved as temblors was Ar> actually UC Berkeley's administration making a few decisions. Li> rofl! The mills of UCB grind slowly, and pretty coarsely, too.. Ar> Nothing fell, nothing broke, but I think it may be a cue to at least Ar> secure those big bookshelves... Li> Not a bad idea... I was thinking how I always have a night candle Li> going... but I don't intend to stop, darn it. If She shakes, She Li> shakes. Who am I to stop Her dance? Sounds like a job for earthquake putty or some such. (I think of my poor mother-in-law, in seismically active Seattle, with all that antique Wedgwood...at least most of my breakable stuff is Target Special, or gas station premiums or something.)

Funny how different people get off on different rides... Most rollercoasters I love...but once in a while, the corkscrews get to me.
