Freaky. Can't say that I would like the whole earth moving under my feet thing.
Wrod. Give me Acts of God that Al Roker can warn me about.
Oh, look at the pretties!

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

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.

Our wings are not tired.
Really, we can at least prepare in advance and stock up for hurricane parties and such.

You know that's happening all the time, right?

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
So this package came to my dad today from UPS. I was watching Pirates with my mom, and he bursts into the room to show me a signed cast pic of the cast of 24, and a script signed by Fury and Keifer.
He's all bouncy and happy, "Are these autographs real, Al?"
"Yeah, Dad."
"NO WAY! Do you know Jack Bauer? This is my favorite show! You know these guys?"
Fury attached a note: "Dear Mr. Beatrice, I heard you're a big fan of 24. Well, I'm a big fan of your daughter's."
My dad was weirdly proud by that, unsure why. But he was all beaming.
He's taking it all to work with him to show off, and my mom is having the stuff framed for him.
The old man was giddy, I tells ya.

Huh, there was a quake of the same magnitude in northern Utah today.
Considering the entire valley would turn to a big bowl of oatmeal in a big enough earthquake, I'm all for small earthquakes on a regular basis to bleed off the pressure.

Doesn't count if you don't feel it. Like sex.

One might even go so far as to suggest that the solidity and motionlessness of the ground below your feet is, dare I say it? Semi-imaginary....

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Aww, what a sweet dad story.
