Random Thoughts Part 5: Time to Split Again

The British say: "Don't mention the war!" (John Cleese)
I think it's time for an American version: "Don't mention the wall!"

Sorry about that! Hopefully nothing more serious happened to you or someone you know.

Apparently no damage or injuries anywhere. A small one, just big enough to startle, is all.

So that's what that was! I was making a (late night) fish sandwich and I heard a noise and saw the blinds shaking. I thought it was a rodent darting around in the kitchen. I guess it was an earthquake after all.

Here it was unmistakable: the house was hit by a sudden wave that perceptibly tilted it. That was followed by about 5 seconds of lower amplitude sloshing around. Still, it seems most people who were asleep were not woken up, and I probably would have slept through it, myself, had I been sleeping. Although I might have had a dream about napping in a car on a bumpy road.
