! EARTHQUAKE !
We're fine, I didn't even feel the 6.4 one on Thursday, I was washing dishes when SWMBO yelled, I turned 'round and saw the swag lamp swinging a bit .
The 7.1 one Saturday, I was riding my Moto to visit old friends in Arcadia and missed that too .
Both were centered in a little factory town called "Trona" , it's on the edge of the Searles Dry Lake , no one know what 'Trona' is so they used Ridgecrest in the news reports, not far away and actually a city, home to the China lake Naval Weapons Center .
Trona git hit pretty hard . lots of damage, roads , windows, water and gas pipes ruptured so fires and so on, only a couple deaths I've heard of .
M little Ghetto termite farm seems O.K., I worry it'll collapse in the next big local quake .
My pups were nervous, very nervous so extra belly rubs and attention as I was doing fuel injector testing yesterday .
Gotta watch those dog hairs ! just *one* will ruin an otherwise good injector .
