Joe (and other PNW'ers), We got home about an hour and a half after the thing hit, and when we let Bug and Raphael out, they seemed pretty keyed up, tearing around wardancing with bottlebrush tails. How much of that was caused by riding out the quake and how much was from picking up on *our* being keyed up, I don't know. Since we weren't home during this one or the 5.0 last January, let me ask: Were people's weasels acting strangely (what's "strange" when speaking of weasels???) before the quake? Isn't there some theory that animals can tell when one is going to happen? To you people in California who have to deal with this quake stuff all the time, I don't see how you do it. Really I don't. -- Raphael and Bug ("Cool, Mom! Let's do that again!") and their frazzled Mom ("Let's not and say we did.") [Posted in FML issue 1559]
