All this free time on my hands and I've not mentioned the earthquakes!! It's been almost a month, but we did feel "The Big One" that happened on April 25th at nearly midnight. It was a 4.7 magnitude and we were both up and the house shook, like an egg in a frying pan. Amber stood straight up, don't think she liked it at all. The other pups I didn't notice. It was a very weird feeling. At first I didn't know what it was, and it happened so fast I didn't have time to think. No damage at all, not here anyway. 15 miles away where a friend of mine lives in Mogul, he's literally on top of the activity, and he's had cracked walls, broken dishes, computers knocked over, etc. He works for the Reno police, amusingly enough the DEA and they are calling their home "the crack house". That's taking it well.

Isn't it amazing how many there are? We might have beach front property yet!

I've lived in Southern California all my life and have been through hundreds of earthquakes.
Nothing however, compares to the number of quakes you have been experiencing. Especially larger ones AFTER the initial one. That is scary.
Thatsa lotta earthquakes!
