According to this article at CNN, there is a 99 percent chance that an earthquake of 6.7 or larger will happen in California in the next 30 years. Because I wasn't already feeling fearful, what with this morning's seismic shifts and that woman getting stabbed near my office building (okay so that's not a natural disaster but that's just adding onto the mess). I mean the next 30 years! 99% chance! That is a guarantee. I mean... that could be tomorrow. Or next month. Or if I am lucky, five years from now when I am back on the East Coast and I can thank the powers that be that I'm out of California, aka Disaster Zone Central.
Also, there is some chance that this morning's quake could be a precusor to another one. Okay so it's only a 5% chance, but STILL. I am totally freaked out by this whole thing. And I feel like Lucille 2 in Arrested Development--I'm suffering some serious vertigo. Honestly! It's like that feeling after you've been sailing and you get on to dry land but you still feel like you're in the boat. I still feel like I am in the boat. I want to get off the boat.
Or a sedative. I'm sure that would work too.

Sam sez Google can't have my soul, and...
I have a friend who's an excellent songwriter. My favorite lyric of his is, "If the afro don't gitcha, the desiac will."
Or...
If the earth don't gitcha, the quaking will.
Hey, odds are much better that you'll have a 3-car pile-up than be in an earthquake, unless you're in LA. Been there, done that, eh?. How perfectly odd.--Sam
