Even The Boy now asks where you were each time he hears about an earthquake south of the Grapevine.

Now, had we been in Chicago on top of it all...

5.0 in southeastern Quebec...

I didn't feel it, but a lot of people in the area did.

Quebec's really serious about separating...

I was talking to a friend on Skype when it happened. He lives in Toronto, and was in a tall building when it hit, which is a bit scary. He's been through worse ones- he's from India, and they have some really strong quakes there. Still, he was pretty nervous.

I was watching the Mike Rowe Channel (also known as Discovery), and there was a promo for Build It Bigger where Danny was in a gold mine in South Africa, several miles underground when an earthquake hit.

No thank you!

It's worse than you think. The earthquake didn't "hit". The earthquake was triggered by the blasting they were doing to extend the mine. So the quakes were happening pretty much constantly. (incidentally, Build It Bigger is a great show)

Yeah - looking at the supports down there didn't give me warm fuzzy feelings about being down there.

I've watched Build It Bigger a few times. I mostly like it because he does a pretty good job of simplifying stuff in layman's terms. I just think that sometimes he makes it a little TOO simple. Although I love how Danny sometimes comes across as a total wus
