Earthquake? Yikes!

--put another person's name on your keychain, preferably another race/ethnicity than your own

I totally want to do this now, just on principle.

Eeep, sorry about the earthquake. My cats started nonsense at 4:15!! NOT ON, cats!

Also, the movers cancelled and rescheduled for Thursday at 2pm, not nearly as convenient.

oh well, I have voted in our special election and now I can be on time for work. Maybe before Thursday I can get some more crap cleared out of the house.

Planet! Stop shaking people trying to sleep!

Grateful that I married a designated driver. Don't have to worry so much about breathalyzer tests and such. Will remember the stay fled advice though.

I'm very glad that nobody was hurt in the earthquake. I'm also very amused that there's a whole cluster of posts saying "earthquake? you too? dammit, trying to sleep."

Yes. As someone who has spent my entire life in the Northeast, I do not understand this casual attitude towards PIECES OF THE EARTH'S CRUST BANGING TOGETHER HARD ENOUGH TO SHAKE BUILDINGS.

(See, I was thinking I'd get to the end of the thread and post something about how living in New York means I never have to worry about driving drunk. Now I can add "also no earthquakes*" to that list.)

*Except for that one in 1884 and the next one we're long overdue for that will probably sink the entire East Coast into the Atlantic Ocean. If global warming doesn't get us first.

Or a mega-tsunami!

The sun is out!! If we didn't all wash away this weekend, I feel like we'll be OK.

My newly installed sump pump is still sucking away -- evidently there's just enough ground water in the sump pit to keep it busy while the rest of the basement floor slowly dries out.

Among the other important life lessons we've learned recently: if you filled your basement with water, that would be a whole lot of water. I don't recommend it.

I had to listen to a whole frantic lecture from my co-worker yesterday because I won't take her seriously about the coming disaster. This one being the massive solar storm that will result in worldwide collapse of the electric grid, etc.

I suggested that since we were in the business of electronic medical records I hoped that the electric system wasn't going to die a sudden death. But I had more immediate concerns, like was there more coffee.

Then I got grilled on how much food, water, and such I had on hand for any number of disasters we were surely going to have to deal with, SOON! Sigh.

So, we really need to get to work on an alternate means of communication because no internet means no Buffistas and how are we ever going to get through the apocalypse without posting?

eta: and how to survive without editing

Yikes, Theo.
