    Reading that sentence took 7 seconds?

    sit down and take a timer to three minutes.

    It's an eternity.

    There is also a tsunami warning for the San Francisco Bay Area today at 1:26. I will be hoping it doesn't hit. That is MUCH too close to home.

    So tragic about Chile. I worked with a guy from there. And Hawaii!! Oh no! Beautiful Hawaii!! I hope all is well on the Pacific Coast.
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    All the poor animals, how frightened they must be as they sense these things before it happens.

    Trust me, If I do get buried in a quake?

    Pray that I have had beans for my last meal, If no one comes to rescue me?
    I can gas myself to death.

    I'm being silly, but, that's just to settle my anxiety.

    When I hear about a quake hitting a populated area/country?
    I get flashbacks! I do not mean to trivialize by calling it a Post Traumatic Anything.

    But, it's pretty durn close.
