Reno Earthquakes
If I hear one more person say "I made it through the blah blah quake of 19blah blah, why are you scared-this is nothing" I will kick them hard. In the shin.
I've lived through the 1989 Watsonville quake, the 1987 quake that destroyed the parking structure near my home (hey, Whittier!), and the Landers/Big Bear quakes. I know our quakes are relatively small-but THEY WON'T STOP. We have had over 500 earthquakes in the past week, I'm about 2 miles from the epicenter, and it's a little unnerving to wake up 5 times a night thinking this is the big one.
They can't predict quakes, but they do "forecasts". For example, the 1989 quake fell in to the window they forecast-a 7.2 quake sometime that year, or whatever. So I am taking the prediction of a 6.0 seriously. And being so close is not good-the 4.7 flung things off of my walls and shelves.
Jesus, I need some sleep.

Husbands Word O' The Day
Me: I should have saved some of my old blog entries. Say something cute.
Husband: I can't. I am too full of dooficity right now.

The Earthquake Blog
is perhaps what I should have named this! We had two 3.1 quakes 10 minutes apart last night-no one on my end of town is getting any sleep. I feel like a zombie. Somebody please do the earthquake dance, so we can get this over with!

I Feel The Earth-Move-Under My Feet
Who sang that? Carol King? Carly Simon?
Anyhoo, it's been stuck in my head for 3 days because the shaking HAS NOT STOPPED.
I haven't slept through the night in days, because the damn earthquakes keep waking me up. We're about 2 miles from the epicenter, plus I'm hyper-sensitive to them so even the little 2.0's are waking me up. They are saying we need to be prepared for a 6.0 in the next several weeks-so I've taken pictures off the walls, placed knick knacks on the floor, etc..... I wish it would just hurry up and happen, because I am EXHAUSTED!

Beach Front Property
I've lived most of my life in Southern California, and I have been in some hellacious earthquakes. Since moving to Northern Nevada I think I've felt two-that no one else even noticed. (I have superb spidey sense when it comes to quakes)
Over the last 24 hours, there have been more than 20 quakes, ranging from .8 to 4.2. Of course, we haven't felt all of them, but a few we did.
At about 1:45 this morning, while I was FINALLY getting some excellent sleep after a very sleepless week, we had another one. Not exceptionally large, but close enough to our house to where I woke up, threw the covers off the bed, screamed "Earthquake!" and was just about to run down the hall to grab my son when it stopped. Husband said "I wouldn't have even woken up if you weren't screaming."
It's like riding a bike-some things you just never forget how to do.

Stupid Al Gore
I don't believe global warming is our fault. I think it's just another one of the earth's cycles. And I find it hard to believe anything from a man with a political agenda.
That being said, Deceiver has a post about Mr. Gore's "An Inconvenient Truth". And I just can't stop laughing. I really think they are becoming one of my favorite websites.
I love it when people get called on their shit!
