O/T: Shake, Rattle and Roll

Shake, rattle and roll, but no Jolt.

A 4.3 earthquake, whose epicenter was about 5 miles west of me, hit at
04:03AM this morning.

Lasted about 15 seconds and provided a nice vibration to the bed.

Other than that, NBD.

My family and I were active participants in the 1963 Skopje
earthquake, We were vacationing in a small town south of Genoa. *I*
was tossed from my bed. Then in '71, I was rollin into LA...

That'd be an okay pain, me thinks.

It reminds of that Italian saying (and I paraphrase)

20 seconds to turn him into a blithering idiot."

Dad woke me one night to ask if I'd felt the earthquake the week we
were in Puerto Vallarta for a vacation. I hadn't. He also came out of
the house 3 different times when I was mowing the lawn in Vista to ask
the same question. We'd moved out from Arkansas and I wanted to feel
an earthquake but I never seemed to be doing nothing at the time. I
think it was ten years that I was in CA before I felt one, and then it
was a real letdown. A 3.3, close and high, felt no more troublesome or
scary than the old sonic booms I heard in the '60s.

To be honest, I'm now _glad_ that I haven't felt a big'un.

You're a native Hellatian? Imagine that. Both my parents were, but
moved away. We used to fly into exLAX every Xmas to spend the
holidays with my grandparents, and it was like flying into a milk
chocolate pudding back then. Smog is much better nowadays, though you
can still see the brown haze when driving up I-5 from the south.

When the big'un hits, you won't be moving anywhere but under the
ground, as it liquefies. The fault also runs right by SanFran, so
don't be thinking of moving there if you happened to be out of town
when the big'un hit.

I get the BiMart dry roasted peanuts instead of popcorn any more. (Now
that I've discovered my allergy to corn. After 25 years away, I can
now eat some potatoes again. NOGO on the tomatoes, though. <sigh>)

You'll love the strategic domestic use of the nukes. <chortle>

...one of my good buddies has a home in Laural Canyon that's been
hangin' on a hunk of granite for 95 years...bitchin' Craftsman that we
renovated for him...it's covered with 30 lb. felt and shingles and
goes thru these shakers like nobody's business. Wood frame is the
trick for residences, very flexy...when downtown started getting
higher than city hall (you know, Dragnet...) they ratcheted the codes
for earthquake survival and they keep making code additions apace...I
*still* wouldn't want to be in one of those high rises when a 7.5
hits, but if I was I got a feeling I'd be OK (many ride on HUGE
springs)...OH, and that stucco is strong like the dickins, Lew, used
to have a high shear rating but I think they've derated it...dunno
why, 'cause demoing that stuff makes you a believer for sure!

I was horribly disappointed the first time I saw the Rockettes and

folk start moving, a taste quicker than we are now, to San Fran and

That's right, Lew. Murphy says "When the Big One hits, everything
east of the San Andreas will fall into the Atlantic."

Yabbut, wouldja still do 'er? I would. Sad, though.

I rented Sorority Row the other day and couldn't believe it when I saw
the credits. Princess Leia no longer looks anything at all like a
princess. OMG! http://tinyurl.com/ykpyywr vs
http://tinyurl.com/yl6mamp She looked even worse onscreen as an angry
sorority mother with a shotgun (12 shots, 0 scores, typ. Hollyweird.)
I sure miss fantasies about having both Delaney sisters together...
