Shaken and Stirred


As mentioned below, we've had a few shakers in the area this morning. The map in the below entry changes over time so there's a snapshot of the fun so far. They upgraded the biggest one to a 4.2, which ain't bad.

Earthquakes can mess with people's mojos and make them all nervous and twitchy. We had someone in the office doing a darn good "Chicken Little" imitation.

Fun with cars continues. Woke up at 0415 for no good reason, so I played on the computer until Liz woke up, then walked down to the van to see it would start. It didn't, so I got Liz on the phone and she brought the Taurus down and we successfully jump-started the van. I puttered around the house and did some class prep, then realized I'd lost complete track of time and still had to bike to work. You'll notice below that it didn't take too long to get here. A few minutes after arriving, Liz called to say the van would not start again and she was taking a sick day (good idea, it turns out because the earthquakes hit shortly after that). At this moment, I'm waiting for Les Schwab to call on the truck.
