Earthquake!

i bet the east coast people look at california (budget issues, immigration issues, barbara boxer, gay marriage, arnold, power issues, drought issues, water shortage issues, mudslides, everyone suddendly can't drive when it rains, a fake world of self appointed importance) and say "since when does california matter?"

Someone on another forum said about California "Even the earthquakes are leaving!"

Actually that has happened to me twice. On 267 shortly after 9/11. They weren't really pointing their machine guns AT me. But the back windows of the black suburbans were open and the seats were occupied by dudes with machine guns.

As for California, I had the misfortune of being in LA recently. The traffic there really is unbearable. But I do love SF, even with the huge population of aggressive homeless. In fact, I love most of northern CA.

When I lived there I found it a little amusing that us locals found the presidential motorcade a huge pain in the arse and just added more headaches to our commute while the tourists were clicking cameras with gay abandon.

I remember that. Right after 9/11, there was a damn tank mounted next to the Pentagon and if you were driving on 110 from Rosslyn heading toward 395/DC, you'd turn the corner and then BAM, there's a tank pointed right at you. It sure didn't make me horny!

Eventually they took the tank away and replaced it with a hummer, which also featured a mounted machine gun.

I think I've been to that club before…

This.  It wasn't scary as much as it was just a little unnerving.  By the time I woke up enough to realize what happened, it was done.

….like a wet dream.

I was going to say that Walkie forgot massive wild fires and the 10.

Is this east coast/west coast thing still going on?  Is this the new Biggie v Tupac? Do I need to remind you that we all lost in that one?

;D

….I'd say it was a win/win (strictly muscially speaking of course)

very interesting - thanks for sharing that.  freaky sh*t.

(p.s. i grew cayenne peppers last year too, dried a bunch of 'em, they're still around.  i may have grown myself a lifetime supply.  much more excited about this year's jalapenos!)

those were from last year and i ended up with far more than i could ever use.  the ones i grew this year died after i transplanted them.  still have jalepenos, habaneros and some other peppers, though.  trying to find some more exotic ones to plant next year.

i wish i'd taken more photos the day of, but for the first couple hours i was pretty preoccupied with the house/neighbors, etc.  by the time i got out and about, the whole town was a zoo and i just didn't feel like dealing with it.

i wish i was more in the habit of taking pictures of food.  i try, but i forget too often.  or i'm in the rut of making the same thing again.

i didn't even post the most horrific picture – the television on the floor.  might be too much for sensitive forum-goers.

not that i've had a lot of experience with quakes, but i believe that was the strongest i've ever felt.

Time to dust off this thread…
