The house shivered for a second and Jane yelled from up stairs, "What the Hell are you doing down there?" About 15 years ago we survived a 2.0 quake in Columbia, MD.

The epicenter is about half a mile from my house (and 9 miles down...) I was out caroling Wednesday night and missed the first one although one of our audiences asked us if we felt it. I'm trying to convince myself that a few small shakes don't add up to fore-shocks for The Big One. That's what the USGS boys are all saying. With cooper, I am <i>astounded</i> that Roy's Scottish joke got past the censors. Maybe they didn't get it until the tape was cut.

I'm not jaded by quakes yet, so the little ones still provide a minor thrill (as well as reminding me that, yes, I do indeed live in the wonderful Bay Area). As I was typing that, I noticed that we were getting a phenomenal red-sky-at-morning thing, and had to dash out to take a slew of pix. Dawn over the ocean looked like a sunset this morning.

A yule toast to all y'all good people, or as my students from student teaching days in New Jersey would say, you guys (this I first learned from the girls in one of the classes - my southerness intrigued these children of Bordentown).
