O/T: Hello

"Hello", the seat of my pants announced to me this afternoon it's
"Shake, Rattle & Roll" time here in SoCal.

Everything appears to still be standing, at least until further notice
otherwise.

Time to go back to collecting ZZZZ's.

Lew

Given California's current state budget situation, I'm sure they are
trying to figure out a way to tax earthquakes as an entertainment tax.

Yep, some of our son's friends said the chandeliers in their house started

And probably half the population will think that would be reasonable,
compaired to some of the things that they have voted for and gotten in the

Been through a 7.5 back in '75 up in the Aleutian Islands.

It's really sobering when you see the reinforced concrete underneath your

My buddy in Olivenhain sent an email that said they felt a 6.9. We
looked it up and it was a 7.2 which spoke Spanish.
