two distinct periods of rolling in North OC.  Nothing fell or even rattled.  Which reminds me, I better go check that all the tubs of brass are secured in the garage.  Picking it up once at the range and sorting it once at home is all that is necessary.  Picking it all up and resorting fromwhere the hell it rolled is NOT necessary.

Just got a call from Ma Danby and one of the Danby boys, they were at the market or driving and didn't feel it.  Checking to see what I wanted on my Whopper.  Yep got her trained right.

I live right next to Long Beach, northern OC. Its was fun! rolling and gentle. I guess I'm weird like that. I didn't decide to get up till half way through. Didn't knock over anything in my room. Sure scared my dog though.

I felt it here at work in torrance which we usually don't feel. Just sat down to take care of some business and was almost shook off the toilet by a couple of large sharp jolts.

We have to evac the building which meant I get to go around looking for stragglers and then look for gas leaks and crap hanging off the ceiling and racks.

Last week it was a friggen 10 inch water main that broke and now a earthquake. I wonder is anything in my appt is damaged since it is on the 2nd floor. Guess I will take a quick trip home during lunch to see. Would hate to see my ammo stash get damaged.

No biggie. Better than the hurricanes you have to live with.

I was in the middle of a wickedly good round of "hide the salami" with my wild tattooed lady friend from Yonkers, NY and didn't notice it.
