Earth-Shattering News

Well, yes there was an earthquake here last night. Probably not big enough to be covered on international news, but worth mentioning in the chronicles of my life... You can check out information about it here. It was in the middle of the night, so I just thought it was Tom's RLS acting up again. No, actually Tom woke me up with the grin of a 5-year-old on Christmas morning. "Do you feel that?" "Yes, stop shaking the bed,"....grrrr. "I'm not! I think it's an earthquake." In all honestly, it wasn't that scary. I guess being interrupted mid-sleep I wasn't thinking about the irreparable damage it could do, but was more focused on the cinematic features of my innner eyelids. It did seem quite long though. It seemed to go on for minutes. I thought earthquakes were only supposed to be like 40 seconds long. Again, that could also be because I was so desperate to just go back to sleep. There have been several earthquakes here since we arrived. That's the first one that I have felt. I've always been on the ground floor during the other quakes. Not mega-news, but I thought I'd share. Now let's do some voodoo/hexes/jinxes and get all of these natural disasters to friggin' leave us alone!

  1. What a bummer. How come that didn't happen while we were there? Glad you got to experience a little tremor and nothing more. We worry enough about you being half way aroung the world.
    Love, dad
