TOOOT!
Yup, the noon time whistle.! Break out the lunch pails, while you straddle the girder to have your sandwich. Oh, that's right, I live in a small windowless box.
Oops! So far today is going at a reasonable pace, so that I can spend most of it with people, rather than paper! That's good. This morning as I filled the parrots' bowls with seeds, I heard BUMP! BUMP! BAM!. The parrots were scrambling around the cages sqawking loudly! Not usual (that's for when I arrive home , or Big M comes home from a long business trip). Then BUMP! rumble! BAM! We had a tembloy, small earthquake. Nothing fell, nothing broke. When I lived in Cucamonga (yes, that is a real town, now called Rancho Cucamonga) there were some small faults under the town, so temblors there -- very small ones, were actually frequent enough. But the canyon is about 40 miles away from a fault. I don't think the Richter scale reading was more than a 4. I'll check and add it later. So. Cal is pretty well prepared--- many bridges and highways have been retrofitted with extra earthquake proofing. The building I work in is only 5 stories, and it sits on huge rubber bushings, so the shaking is not felt much when it happens, and little damage.

Just one of the oddities in California.

How is everyone surviving all the storms, snow and ice! What's the weather doing in everyone's local area?

Well, guess I'll finish that sandwich now. The only high object to fall off is my little office chair.

A wonderful day to my friends! You're posts, stories and art really do make my day better.
