Unfortunately the earth has not moved for me today

It didn't make it up here to San Jose. Perhaps it didn't know the way.... OK, now maybe that is tempting fate...

I think they are now saying it was a 5.4 - we had a 5.6 sometime last year and whilst it scares the living daylights out of you at first (loud bangs, big jolts of the whole house), it's not **that** bad. As long as it stays under a 6..... Hey, it keeps you on your toes. The way I look at it, the 'smaller' earthquakes are good as they relieve the stress on the fractures. I have my tent, bucket of supplies, camping equipment and water filter all accessible outside should the worst happen!

Have you ever tried one of those earthquake simulators. Its an interesting sensation - but you know you are safe. Its a totally different ballgame when the real thing happens.

Glad you're OK!!! I have not tried the earthquake simulators- it sounds interesting in a scary way.

We're fine, thanks! We felt it; my students immediately did duck and cover, I think they were under their desks before I was! But we evacuated safely and spent the last 40 minutes of the school day out on the football field. It was a good reminder to all of us what to do in an emergency. Plus the kids were happy because they got out of the day's assignment!

Glad you're OK- are you guys back to school already??

Hey Samantha, how's the driving coming along? We have had so much to do too, I think this is my busiest summer ever!!

 

[Grumpy4Ya]

How are all of you Californians doing? Everyone OK with the earthquake- I just read it was a 5.8- did you guys feel it?

Hi Nikki, thanks for checking in on us. No worries up here in the North end of the state either, no major fault lines near by at least. When the big one hit SF in 89 I didn’t have any idea until I got home and saw it on the news! Lucky for me that I live in a mud hut….if anything where to happen a bucket some water and half a day labor and I’m back in business!!!! Ed, you should be relieved to hear that!

 

[nikkistevej]

good to hear!!

Welcome to the Weekend

OK, that confused me for a second. I thought - Oh its Friday already... but its not...

54 weeks - woo hoo - not long now till the year mark.

Morning everyone.

Got that email yesterday, too. It is tempting, but I still struggle with how much I paid per point in 1995 vs. where it is now.... Still - the incentive is tempting

Hey Kristen, Kay, and Ed.

Yeah, the incentive is tempting, I even fowarded it to my DH's email. He said we can look into it- even though I already have- I have to let him think he is making the decision!!
