Four Point Three

Tuesday, Mar. 31, 2009 - 12:38 a.m.

I was sitting in my recliner in the living room yesterday morning, when I felt the apartment building shake.

First a little

And then a whole hell of a lot. If it had gotten any worse, I would have headed for the doorway.

It was a 4.3 magnitude quake about sixty miles south of here, on a newly discovered fault.

It felt worse after it climbed the rafters of the old wooden building and found me up here on the third floor.

It was a window rattler and a picture frame shaker, which means it was a north-south, because our framed art lives on mostly the north-south walls.

John felt it at work, where he sat, but the people further into the middle of the building there did not.

I felt it and I'm fine. And I was on the phone with OBDave when it happened.

UPS also showed up with something that's been long-awaited.

Art's Lappy Senior, recovered with lojack after a detour into a Seattle pawn shop.

The look on Art's face was priceless yesterday afternoon.

I am sure he'll tell you more when he posts. :-)

Not a lot else to report, although an earthquake and a recovery theft are pretty darn good.

Have a good Tuesday!
