Didn't feel a thing in Oakland. Hrumph. I feel like I missed out.
Mal: That's not what I saw. You like to tell me what really happened? Book: I surely would. And maybe someday I will.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Nothing in downtown SF either.

I once worked in a big concrete box that bounced so much they had to keep repositioning the window panes in the fancy steel grid facade. The builders had figured the rubber seals would be sufficient to keep the panes of glass in place (you'd think). But Utah gets so many micro (and not so micro) shocks that the constant vibration shimmied the windows out of position.

I always tell the new students if earthquakes worry them, study in the newer part of the building. The old reading room windows are not safety glass (they didn't have to be, apparently, in 1950 when the place was built) and the cost to replace them is something like 10-15K/window. Since there are a dozen of them, this is not going to happen before the big one hits.

If I only had a brain...
I feel like I missed out.
Yup. I feel like an authentic Californian should be able to say "Yup, that was about a 3.2." The Master could.

Just driving by - hope everyone is well, that babies are eating, and that cow-orkers are sucking less today than usual.

I subscribe to a Yahoo news alert for "Buffy the Vampire Slayer." This [link] showed up today. Look at what the girl in the second family wants for Christmas.
