(Cue rim-shot)

That's the comic stylings of WAYNE, ladies and germs!! Thank you, he's here all week! Tip your waitress! TRY THE SALAD BAR!

(Just kidding, Wayne!! ;) )

The risk of the occasional Big Quake won't get me to move. Besides, in the Land of Re-invention, what better way to force a fresh start in your life than to lose worldly possessions?

Hey fehgeddaboudit - so glad they've perfected earthquake prediction! But we're somewhere in CA at least twice a year so we'll shoot for Oct '06. Thanks for the heads up.

Just one quick question, SeaUrchin. Do you have any of those little flag thingies hanging from the loft rafters?

Kal Jun 13th, 2005 04:48 PM

It wasn't a 'quake but Mrs Kal said she felt the Earth move yesterday morning, too. Wish I was home when it hit. :O)

Ha, Starrsville, my Tibetan Prayer Flags are here hanging above my desk, but these are real ones. I need all the help I can get.

I wonder if TxTravelPro felt the new one today!

My friend and I were at lunch and I felt it but she didn't, but we were laughing at my life at the time.

When I wrote "we're" I meant SFO area.

I DID!!!!
I was at a restaurant, TRAXX at Union Station in Downtown LA.
We were like, "Hey! Feel that?"
Very mild movement, we almost thought it was from the construction nearby.
My friend thought said it made her think of the scene in Jurrasic Park with the T-Rex coming.
Cool!
I can check it off my list now!

Out of all the times I have been to Southern Califonia, I have never felt an earthquake there. I have seen some of the results, like the one a few years back which closed the Santa Monica freeway. Am heading there again tomorrow. Time will tell if we escape the quake again. But I have felt mild earthquakes, in of all places, at home in suburban Chicago about 15 - 16 years ago, & also when in Cleveland for a hockey tournament about 9 - 10 years ago.

Hope everyone is doing ok after this most recent quake!

TxTravel, congratulations, but don't stop there! Each one feels different.
