yeeks! We had an earthquake!

[Dogmama]

If we had earthquakes here (southern Arizona) would we shake 'n' bake?

Okay, Dogmama, confess. Your dog told you that joke, right?

You have a very funny dog.

While reading through a few dozen bike blogs this weekend I came to one with a cartoon from Savage Chickens. They are like Farside cartoon....sometimes you just can't stop laughing and half the time you aren't really sure why you are laughing.

I particularly like these kinds of cartoon where no one, no thing, no group is the brunt of the joke and the joke relies on its own merits to be funny.

wow. Need to call my bro. He is a commercial fisherman in Crescent city. Surely he felt it. Odd thing was around that time I was on the phone w/my mom in Brookings OR! I bet she felt it. She feels them ALL!! (actually surprised I didn't get a call)...

[Trek420]

I called my mom (Sonoma). She didn't feel it but says she did feel the smaller one we had in the South bay recently. I didn't feel either one.

I don't know how you all do it, I can handle tornadoes, have lived through five hurricanes in FL, hail/fire/flood...but earthquakes scare the living hell out of me!

That's reasonable - you have a bit of warning with hurricanes & storms & fires & floods; not so much with tornadoes, but some. Earthquakes just happen.

But really, the vast majority of them feel like a big truck is rolling past your house, if even that. You get used to it. And try to be prepared.
