Seriously, earthquakes are scary. We have our share of them in Southern California, and each time, I wonder if it will be the Big One. Scary stuff. I hope the rest of your week is relatively uneventful.Minniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00152305422037094598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3156470752771486926.post-66316385173092737402010-06-25T09:35:36.608-04:002010-06-25T09:35:36.608-04:00How terrifying to have the earth move..!

Great to hear:) Promise me that curiosity (or majitos) won't get the better of you and leave that trapdoor alone until you have company!!!

I hope the whole situation doesn't remain so vivid. How awful! Poor man.<br /><br />How fascinating - a rogue bear - the idea of that happening in Australia is just too weird to comprehend! So bears really do roam in the wild there? Excuse my ignorance...<br /><br />Your proposal dinner looked delicious and I loved your writing to match. I do so enjoy your writing.<br /><br />Honey, I say go crazy on the mohitos and the coffee! Due to treatment that I am undergoing at the present time, I have to abstain from coffee, tea, (me - he, he), alcohol, joy...and am missing all of those narcotic, pleasurable substances sooooo much. So go crazy honey and have a couple more for me!<br /><br />Lovely once again, to check in and see what you are up to.<br /><br />Tracey x oTraceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06101678771219325267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3156470752771486926.post-12514321871734439062010-06-24T18:14:49.793-04:002010-06-24T18:14:49.793-04:00Love your wooden box and blue island!

My other half could not believe his eyes to see one of the walls moving backwards and forwards. He got out of the house post haste. I think your house is a dream.

He felt it (obviously), but there was nothing going on on the ground floor. I told him to stop being silly.<br />We used to live in Tokyo, you get earthquakes there all the time. By Japanese standards, this was a no-big-deal one.<br />I liked the guy interviewed in the bar in Toronto. The journalist (trying to cause hysteria?) asked the man frantically what he was going to do if there were any aftershocks, to which he replied "pretty much what I did during the earthquake...sit here and drink my beer..."<br />Except that the G-20 & G-8 is going on in the city right now, I would have thought it was a slow day for news.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00728645243327906117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3156470752771486926.post-966611674021829052010-06-24T06:58:20.875-04:002010-06-24T06:58:20.875-04:00A bit of a scary moment indeed but what could be m...A bit of a scary moment indeed but what could be more scary is that trap door!!!!
