was at work and was impressed with the coordination and preparedness of established procedures. we had an earthquake drill in April and another planned in the near future. the communication was near flawless and those that were designated safety officers were calm and in control. exectutive teams made the rounds to check on all and provide any needed assistance. only minor damage, like bits of falling plaster was sustained. the building was evac'd for a short time and we returned after the all clear was given.

at home, "over the hill" from the epicenter, things were apparently rockin'. stuff knocked over, and pictures moved. looks like a portrait of Walt took a wild ride, but, it did not fall. Abe did not fare so well however.

A bronze bust of Lincoln was destroyed. the head still looks great though. so, i no longer have a bust - just a head. Gratefully, this very heavy bronze did NOT bounce back into the glass curio cabinet filled with memorabilia.

glad everyone is ok.
