After almost eight months here, I've felt an earthquake. There have been quakes since I moved here, but none that I have ever felt. At least, that is, until last night. There was a quake in Palomar, about 18 miles away. It measured 3.5 on the Richter scale. If you don't know what that feels like, I'll try to give you a rough idea. If you've ever felt dynamite blasting, it's like that, only FAR in the distance. I felt and heard a very brief rumble. And then it was over. It was quieter and more brief than a ten pound bowling ball rolling down the lane. And that's not even considering hitting the pins. I wasn't convinced it was a quake. So, my wife went to the Geological Survey web page and said, "See!" So, she was right. It was a quake.

- I've been described before as a "very silly man". Granted, I was the one doing the describing, but I'm an excellent judge of character. I find it hard to label myself in many other ways as the thing I identify with most is making people smile and laugh. I have two great kids and a wonderful wife and you will likely see things about them crop up in these pages. Family is another big theme with me. I'll try not to be a shameless braggart about my family, but I do consider them pretty special. I welcome intelligent discourse and even *gasp* opposing views. Please try to keep it civil, however.
