Scary prices up there for stuff they can't grow locally.
Which is almost everything!
I used to laugh at people who did that!
Hee.
Don't you just love this party? Everything's so fancy, and there's some kind of hot cheese over there.

Hey! we had an awesome garden. I remember beets, turnips, peas, tomatoes, turnips, beets, potatoes, and more turnips. Maybe cabbage, too.

Earthquake?

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Consuela, are you saying there was an earthquake in your area?
On the assumption it wasn't serious, I had a minor Christmas miracle just now! In my building's basement the laundry room has a bookshelf with cast-off books from residents. I always scan this bookshelf for its entertainment value-- clearly these are books with no other value to anyone else, as it typically consists of Stephen King and Tom Clancy hardcovers, 20-year-old college textbooks, similarly out-of-date travel books, and what I suspect are the books setting out the founding principles of a now-defunct money-based cult. But tonight, I found a book that has been on my Amazon wishlist for years, but out-of-print-- got Pauline Kael's essay collection For Keeps for free and in good shape and in hardcover!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Sweet!
Man, I wish my building had a cast-off books shelf.

Suela, it looks like a quake. Magnitude 3.7. You okay? Other Bay Area-istas?

Felt like a car thumped into the house. I bet, without checking, that it was on the Hayward Fault.
Lemme see.
Yup. Hayward Fault, which is less than a mile from me. That was the biggest one I've felt since I moved to California...

Freaky. Can't say that I would like the whole earth moving under my feet thing.

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

Wrod. Give me Acts of God that Al Roker can warn me about.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Felt nothing a-tall in SF. Still prefer the occasional random quake to guaranteed yearly tornadoes/flooding/whatnot.
