Lest We Forget…

…that we are living in California…

About 10:10 this morning, I was sitting at the table, minding my own business, when I felt a little odd and then heard a quiet little rattle in the kitchen. Oh, OK; earthquake. Curtis was still outside and heard something that sounded like someone running on the roof; Dustin totally missed it.
