Kids are going into K at 6? Doesn't that make them 19 when they graduate from high school? That just seems bonkers to me.
Hey, don't worry about it. Nest full of vampires, you come get me, okay. Box full of puppies, that's more of a judgement call.

I have had at least 4 kids in the past two years who have been 19 when they graduate, but they had started in school systems outside of the US. Two of these students have been top of the class graduates.

And looks like the epicenter was right in fucking Berkeley. That was terrifying. The entire building was visibly shaking; I thought it was the Big One.

Yikes!
In good news, I came in to a nice thank-you note, cc: my boss, from a colleague I gave some information to on Friday. She's now my new favorite, because I really am that easy.

P-C,
fwiw, I think I understand that with most of the kind of quakes experienced in California, that a 4.3 and a 6 or 7 does not really feel that different to the person on the ground. It is that it can be felt by more people at a 6 than a 4.3.
The quakes that are a BOOM are a different story.

We did roll over and go back to sleep.
But it's different when you're that close to the epicenter.
