Whoa, just had an earthquake!

WebGod-

I don't know how big Lawrenceville is, but do you know a guy named Charles Marsden? A flaming character. I saw a total eclipse of the sun with him in Aruba.

Yep, I was about 25 miles away from it but didn't feel a thing.

To all of you who make noise about California's earthquakes: I'd much rather have an occasional little tremor (all I've ever experienced in my many years in California) than floods, hurricanes, snowstorms, tornadoes, typhoons, hail, sleet, etc.

Especially winter. I feel sorry for those poor unfortunates who have to put their s2ks in storage for the winter.

Let's not get into another east-west who ha. We all have our mother nature trips to deal with. We all sympathize with the other guy's plight. Earthquakes are a bummer. So are hurricanes, tornados, fires, floods, etc. We're S2K owners and should all pull together. (I can't believe I just said that. Maybe because I'm on Vicadin -- just had finger surgery again.)

I didn't feel a thing. Guess I'm too far away from Anza. I'm guessing it's close to you San Diego boys down there.

Wasn't trying to start a flame war. Just believe (based on seat-of-the-pants experience) that the earthquake threat is blown way out of proportion compared to other, far more destructive acts of nature.
