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.

[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.

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.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
I didn't feel it, but my co-worker did (we're in Berkeley). In my defense, I was on the phone with a customer plus we have a bump in the road near hear that makes the 18-wheelers, delivery vans and trucks make a hellish bump and racket when they pass over it...so I may have screened out a penny-ante earthquake.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Compassionately intolerant
After I fled to the other coast, it took me two years to quit jumping every time a truck rolled by in DC. That last big one I was in? Made an impression. Which still seems weird to me after growing up in the East Bay amid literally uncountable tremors.
