And the relief to finally hear you were fine by snail mail. Ah, the days before the interenet.<BR/><BR/>We had two tiny ones here in Vermont and they are about all I can handle. Watching the kitchen knives jump off the counter is all the excitement I can handle.<BR/>As always, good story, Jojo.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30172845.post-75803217894495430732007-10-20T12:25:00.000-04:002007-10-20T12:25:00.000-04:00I just remember thinking how glad I was that I liv...I just remember thinking how glad I was that I lived in the Sacramento area where we don't have any (serious) threat of quakes. At that time I had a baby and a toddler and was overwhelmingly exhausted most of the time, but grateful. That would be a very scary experience.Clairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10740049258265150141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30172845.post-73184098087756249992007-10-19T22:34:00.000-04:002007-10-19T22:34:00.000-04:00omg, *rofl* at that postcard. :)i think you got to...omg, *rofl* at that postcard. :)<BR/>i think you got to take these things with some kind of humour, otherwise it wouldn't be bearable at all...abchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06162791638261450495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30172845.post-90553565557960908612007-10-19T15:27:00.000-04:002007-10-19T15:27:00.000-04:00And the "big one" is still due; the one in 1989 wa...And the "big one" is still due; the one in 1989 wasn't it. <BR/><BR/>Val - Please don't discount the west coast just b/c of the quake-factor.

I remember checking escape routes from the hotel when I was staying in San Francisco, as the tour guide almost casually mentioned that a 'Big one' was due.

The big collapsed section of the freeway in Oakland was one my brother traveled nearly every afternoon, thankfully not that one.<BR/><BR/>I'll never forget Al Michaels saying, "There will be no baseball tonight."
