All that caffeine is bound to cause problems.

I am merely clueless from L.A. rather than Sleepless in Seattle.

Now I know why they're sleepless in Seattle: caffeine. :mrgreen:

That and all the rain. :P I'll find out soon enough since I'm heading there shortly for a wee spell.

LOL. Haha. Fortunately I have a more pressing reason to go. Hehe. No, it's not a bowl of ramen. :beaten:

Speaking of which, are there any decent Japanese restaurants out there?

And not only because Ichiro has been there for the past decade... :mrgreen:

:hehe: I've never been but there must be some decent, if not good restaurants, IMHO.

it's my unscientific observation based prediction. the earthquakes are moving up the pacific coast; chile, panama, baja/calif northward trend, roughly every 3 weeks, distance shrinking.

Ive wondered about that. Another answer found here. :victory:

Ah, interesting observation... :victory:

Supposedly there's a fault line that runs up into Washington, then makes an abrupt left turn into the Pacific... And that apparently creates a stress point for a potential quake. :sweat:

Well now we know where the next one went. 7.8 off the coast of Indonesia. I wonder how deep it was, and if shallow, would definitely shake Singapore to the east.

LOL!

But jokes aside, this whole earthquake is beyond my frame of reference. :sweat:

You gotta come by here and check it out for yourself. :beaten:

You're lucky you didn't experience one when you were in Japan... They get some pretty good ones. :sweat:

Wynter,

I have been in California so long that I got used to earth movements. I just would realise that the pictures needed straightening again.

Usually the larger ones would happen when my husband was off on a business trip and that would tick me off. Never had real damage to the house. Just me and the dog. thank heavens for my darling Daisy. She was my protector. Nothing better than a Dalmation for protection.

I have felt a few aftershocks from this last quake but I am down at the south end of Orange Co. so maybe they did not register up in L.A.

No use worrying..Mother Earth has the upper hand. :bow: :bow:

The weather in Seattle sucks. That is all.
