Hey! we had an awesome garden. I remember beets, turnips, peas, tomatoes, turnips, beets, potatoes, and more turnips. Maybe cabbage, too.
So that's my dream. That and some stuff about cigars and a tunnel.

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else, as it typically consists of Stephen King and Tom Clancy hardcovers, 20-year-old college textbooks, similarly out-of-date travel books, and what I suspect are the books setting out the founding principles of a now-defunct money-based cult.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.

Really, we can at least prepare in advance and stock up for hurricane parties and such.
