    Talking Minor quake in California

    Just had a little earth quake, managed to wake me up. The epicenter was about 5-8 mile north of me but is was only a magnitude 3.6. The Dog was the only one concerned. I guess I've lived here to long when earth quakes don't bother me anymore.

    I lived in Sylmar when the February `71 quake hit.
    Rock & roll!

    When the Sylmar quake hit I was somewhere in the western Pacific several hundred feet under water (Submaine).
    Now the Northridge quake I was at the office sitting on the John. Talk about not knowing what to do.

    Been through a typhoon while on a WESPAC in the South China Sea and another while on Okinawa. Endured a tornado in Muskogee, OK. Went through a hurricane off the Va. Capes. And a earthshake in the SF Bay Area.

    But all of that pales in comparison to the notion of what you must have suffered in the men's room. That would be the ultimate in knowing whether to xxxx or get off the pot!

    If you felt a 3.6 then you need to recalibrate your bottom - way to sensitive.

    What WESPAC? I was on the Connie in '66 when we were hit by a typhoon.

    No kidding: the Metrolink train going by my house clocks in at about 3.8...don't even notice it unless I'm out in the back yard.
