Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Wow, you lost stuff, ita? And liquor? Tragic.

No, luckily. But the liquor wobbled very close to the end of the shelves. It was tense.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I was out walking the dog and didn't feel anything. Not so alert, me.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Perkins, I just looked again and your 2.4 was one of the aftershocks. Quite the wee cluster of them actually.

A micro earthquake occurred at 09:13:30 AM (PDT) on Sunday, June 12, 2005. The magnitude 2.4 event occurred 23 km (14 miles) N (3 degrees) of Borrego Springs, CA. The hypocentral depth is 0.1 km (0.1 miles).

I should get showered and head to the Farmer's Market now. Find someone to give me coffee...

Art Crawl!!!

I guess the close you are to the ground (like walking on it) the less you feel?

All this quake talk is making me nervous. The earth is not supposed to move under my feet.

Yeah, that would be one of the only things about LA that is scary.

ION, as I was TYPING this...

I have all of three rugs in the entire house. Three. Puppy just puked all over one, skillfully and narrowly managing to miss the easily-cleanable wooden floor.

Sigh.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

All this quake talk is making me nervous. The earth is not supposed to move under my feet.

From my perspective this sounds pretty much exactly like:

"Water is not supposed to fall out of the sky!"

or

"The wind is not supposed to go 100 miles per hour!"

or

"What the hell is with the frozen water blotting out the landscape and clogging up the roads!"

But it's noooooooooot...

Sweetie, the ground moves. It's a fact of SoCal living...
Yeah, that would be one of the only things about LA that is scary.
Though if this is the only thing you find scary about LA? Mazel tov!

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

Right now, i get jealous of the east coast.

Me? Not so much. I don't miss the gross sticky humidity of New England summers, or the mosquitoes. I don't even wish for a/c more than about a week out of the year, when I move the fan into the bedroom and suffer nobly.

No earth-shakage here today, yay.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I ran my two A/cs all day yesterday set at 76 (for 950 sq ft). Then I turned my bedroom one off at night and it stayed pretty cool. I also keep all the blinds pulled all day to keep out the sun and that helps a lot.

The kitchen is the only room taht gets really hot. It is furthest from the A/Cs, does not have blinds and gets afternoon sun. Add to that if you do any cooking and it gets pretty bad on these really hot days. I have a 2-way exhaust fan to install in the window and a ceiling fan. I hope that is enough. tonight I am gonna try to prepare some food with minimal cooking: gazpacho, cucumber soup, beans (in the crock pot), and some salmon.

Ann, that's a ferret.

What Consuela said. Plus right now? Hurricane season.
