Holy fuck, that was a big one.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
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.
USGS says 4.3.
Quake?
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.
Wake up! Shake Shake Shake! I have never felt an earthquake. Been in a bunch of blizzards and hurricanes. No tornadoes, happy to say.
I put Bobby in Kindergarten at the right time (August 22 DOB), but half way through 1st grade accepted he needed to be held back. He just wasn't ready. I called a conference with his teacher and she agreed with my assessment. He was still bigger than most kids when he was the youngest and I considered that when making him the oldest, but it was the right thing to do.
I pulled him out and home schooled him the rest of the year then put him back into 1st grade again in the fall. I never thought I would suffer so much over decision making as I did over school decisions for the kids. In the end I learned to trust my instincts.
