Earthquake!!!!!

so we had two big earthquakes this morning that woke me up and freaked me out a little bit. they were at 6:25 and 6:30 respectively, my students are very up on these kinds of things and like knowing that i was a little afraid. to them these quakes are nothing new, but the biggest one lasted about 7 seconds or more, so it definitely scared me a bit. one of those things where you think you are dreaming then realize no, everything, including me, is shaking! lucky i own no furniture or lamps to fall on me or break on the floor. it seems my thrifty ways have started paying dividends comrads.

ok, not much else exciting going on right now. other than that it has been raining for over 48hrs. flash floods! what it really means is that it is going to be absolutely unbearable when the heat returns because all this moisture will make this place a tropical nighmare. living below the tropic of cancer, by will davis.

Glad you survived the earthquake! I've only ever felt one, and it was as you described--I thought I was dreaming at first. Very surreal. I'm so glad the new people are fun! So was Donald the one who backed out at the last minute? Did you end up getting the small frig? Glad you're doing well, and I hope the rain stops soon! Haven't seen the Firefly movie yet, but I hope to see it this weekend.
