Hi Everyone, Even though the epicenter of the earthquake was only about 7 miles from my house, we escaped with no damage. Only things that fell, some computer catalogs and a pillow. Fuzzies all made it through fine. Dogs and cats had a bit of a problem, but that is past. As Olympia is the capitol of Washington, I am only about two miles from the very damaged capitol building and state buildings where I used to work. We lost a bridge, an historic hotel, and reports are still coming in. I suppose by tomorrow, the newspeople will get their heads on straight and we will get stories that are not conflicting. Anyone in the area needing a temporary shelter for their fuzzies is welcome to drop them by. Cheryl Nordgulen of the Critterpen [Posted in FML issue 3343]
