Well, after four years in California, we just experienced our first earthquake – a cheeky little entry from the Hayward fault line registering at 5.6 on the Richter scale.
Hooray. We’re no longer California earthquake virgins.
(Oh, and yes, we’re fine.)
Someone has apparently been leaving pipe bombs in random parks around Livermore. I can’t help but be amazed when the local news interviews people in Livermore and they say things like “I can’t believe this would happen here, it’s such a quiet peaceful community!”
Uh, Livermore? As in the home of Lawrence Livermore National Labs? The cornerstone of the US nuclear weapons program since 1952? Does anyone else see this as slightly ironic?
