The Coffee House

[smoke665]

No big deal, the house had a slight shake, Mary Lou, Maggie and Gary looked at each other ... then it was over. No big deal

I seem to remember it was like a deep vibration or low rumble that you felt in your bones, or something to that effect. Weird feeling!

Sharon, It’s got to be easier than folding a band saw blade, which is very pointy.

I’ve only felt one quake - the 8 point something that hit Mineral, VA a few years back. I thought it was kind of cool but I was at home with only a ground floor. The office (NOAA, 7th floor) decided to shake North-South, then East-West. I probably would have had a different opinion had I been there.

You know I thought the same thing. I've still got the scars from a 1" blade that refused to cooperate.

I've experienced one, years ago in Georgia, and atm I can't recall where the epicenter was.

A strange phenomenon. You don't have to have ever felt one to know instantly when one starts. The ground is moving under you, and you have absolutely no control over the outcome. Mild quakes like what I experienced can be kind of cool - our Earth shifting and showing she's alive. I would imagine that feeling vanishes the instant a larger magnitude is felt!

I was living in Istanbul but visiting home during the really big quake in 1999 (1999 İzmit earthquake - Wikipedia) but was back in the city for all the aftershocks and a few more weaker quakes. I think the strongest one was in the 5 point range. It was quite a ride. I was in my ex's apartment on the 7th floor. Could see the walls swaying. My ex was in the bathroom and apparently couldn't stop mid-stream. During another 5-pointer, I was in the middle of giving a grammar test. The quake hit, we evacuated the building, had a smoke, went back in for some coffee, and then finished the test.

There have been a few bangs that shook our house. But nothing got destroyed where we think the bangs are coming from.
I'll take a hurricane over a tornado or earthquake any day.

They're a good teaching tool though... you learn quickly!

I've never really appreciated the fact that we live in a world where there are so many learning opportunities.

Yep - I learn something, everyday . . . a lot of people are jammin' idiots.

Gary has been through hurricanes and a zillion earthquakes. He’ll take an earthquake any day over a hurricane provided he’s in a place with good and enforced earthquake construction code ... i.e. California and Japan.

I just woke up from a little nap about an hour ago, watching TV. @limr was my teacher, college photography class. In my dream, I wanted to make her proud of my work. I kept trying everything, she wasn't into my work. @Gary A. was in the class and he was the teacher's pet, he even came into the darkroom, looked at my experimentation and said I was in big trouble. I was trying to get an artistic pic of my pet monkey in the darkroom. Gary was saying I was over agitating and I was stupid, stupid, stupid. He said to make Leo happy, back off on agitation and add pieces of Styrofoam to developer, three pieces the size of chicklets. WTF? Thats all I recall. Geez....

seek help, lol

 

[Gary A.]

If Gary had that dream ... he’d wouldn’t sleep again.

 

[davidharmier60]

I don't remember dreaming. The phone started it's noise at 4am just like usual.
Going to try a Pacific Rim knife today.
See if it is a good gum and tape remover.
That's all I got.
