Thx to all for responding.

On the lighter side. I remember wakeing up about 5 mins before the Northridge quake to have a smoke.

After an eternity and the shakeing was over I looked up at the ceiling and said.

OK I can take a hint ... I'LL QUIT SMOKING !!! :p

Dang. The US Geological Survey has declared it a Magnitude 5.4 quake, centered 3 miles WSW of Chino Hills, CA, at 8.5 miles in depth.


Hope all you guys near there are ok. I've never experienced an earthquake before, what's it like?

Ever seen one of those "bobble head" dolls? You know, the kind you stick on the dash of your car and the head "wobbles" around when you hit a bump?


It's like that only bigger...

Hey, just wait a moment here. Let's figure this out

jimbuna has a birthday today

Good likelyhood that jimbuna will be drinking many brews in celebration

Knowing the effect that brew chugging has on some guys...gas wise (either end).

jimbuna lets one go and all of a sudden we have this 5.8 "earthquake"?

jimbuna at least say "excuse me"

A decade ago I was visiting family in L.A. Something woke me up in the middle of the night. I heard the water in my brother's aquarium sloshing around. Then I realized my brother didn't have an aquarium, and what I was hearing was the water in the swimming pool sloshing around! Back when I lived there I went through quite a few, mostly small ones. That one was small, too, but it makes you wake up fast when you think about that on the spot.

You need a bunch more of those. You haven't been getting enough down there. The less you have, the worse. You will end up with a big one if you don't relieve some of that stress!
