Well, we did have another one, 6.5, out to sea about 190 miles, and we were all blissfully sound asleep. Mother earth seems to be restless and shifting around out here! It was another horizonal one, which is better than a vertical one, apparently. And, I must echo Yellow, it is raining like crazy, the highest wiper setting kind. I am actually a great lover of rain--I lived in the desert for a long time and am yin (or is it yang?) deficient, so I alway enjoy it, and this area was in a bit of a drought AND it is good for the salmon and the redwoods, and we all have a lot of goretex and camping gear, so it is OK. I guess I could just camp out in my VW van worse come to worse.
The bicycle is the most civilized conveyance known to man. Other forms of transport grow daily more nightmarish. Only the bicycle remains pure in heart. ~Iris Murdoch, The Red and the Green
