There were a whole bunch of quakes in Asia today, and tsunami warnings to boot, from Japan to India. Hopefully everyone is OK.

Shit--I wish I could hop on a plane and help dig people out
or anything else. I guess I could--maybe I'm selfish holding onto a job
by the skin of my teeth in this recession.

We didn't even realize there was a quake on Sunday until my mom asked if we were OK on Skype. I was like "Why wouldn't we be?" since we hadn't even felt it. The one in the morning, though, was kind of a pain since it seemed like a pretty long one.

But I'll take a bunch of little baby quakes like these over one serious business quake any day.

3 now this week counting Sunday. Time to make the Quake Emergency Bag I have been putting off, and figure out how to keep my cats safe!

Marks right, that Sunday one was long and so was today's. Its always a little disheartening after being in SF in '89, I think I wil start sleeping with my boots on again.
