Thanks so much to the tweeters and linkers, by the way. So nice.

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

Art Crawl!!!
I think my apartment looks like I had a specific personal tornado.
I love that one of the things that the Post reported in their things to do in case of Earthquake was Stay Off the phone.
But everyone phones everyone when there has been an EVENT, right?

I'm the only one left in the office; it's OK for me to go home, right?

Woe to the fucking wicked.
meara, that makes me feel less crazy, because I swear I felt something here in Toledo.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I have a feeling the Chronicle headline tomorrow is going to look like something out of The Onion: "Earthquake hits East Coast. Populace in shock. Damage includes several pictures which are askew."

Heh, David.
I just got off a very long and boring telecon. Happily, I could sit at my desk and so I read the internets.
I suspect I'm coming down with something...

Because books.
flea, were you the one asking about this?
Clough, who's also an earthquake engineer, said the geography of the Eastern Seaboard helped transmit the shock from the Carolinas to New England. The underlying bedrock is largely a solid sheet, "so you get a lot more travel out of earthquake waves than you would in California," he said.

GM and Chevy are replying to me on Twitter that they'd be happy to help. So I replied that I called them for help, and they don't call back. Ever. I hate this, "I look like I care in public" bullshit.

Well, that's actually promising. You're embarrassing them in public, so they're more likely to do something about it.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
If you don't eventually get help from them, you need to get your car back and find a mechanic who will make the fix illegally. That part will be in the junkyard and it can be gotten and put on in a jiffy. Really. Just don't tell the dealer that's what you are doing.
