Ok, On the count of 3 everyone jump up and down!
should be "never lets me down"...
But you obviously don't need our military to help you rebuild.
But how did the quake affect the Homosexual Community? Shouldn't there be a Gay Earthquake museum someplace?
Let me guess: Half of the 5,000 gathered were dressed in clothing appropriate to the opposite gender. (The rest were nude.)
After our '89 quake, I had to move out for six months to repair the damage to my house, which is half a mile from the epicenter. I moved back in on April 17th. The next morning, the anniversary of '06, I was rolled out of bed by a 5.6 quake which was followed by about 35 others, a "swarm" that went on for over three hours. Some "welcome home" for me. It was surreal.
Gomorrah by the Bay ... opening bars at 6AM! What is this world coming to? ;)
One thing I've never understood:
How DID SF rebuild, back before there was FEMA and other gummint handouts?
(And if you know the answer, don't tell me, tell Ray "Willie Wonka" Nagin...)
The quake map at the USGS web site is kind of quiet for the SF Bay area today. At least the area souh of San Juan Batista is creeping.
I saw the NGC special last night. I have learned from FR to spot liberal bias on a dime. The special was loaded with it.
For instance, the references to the rich people sitting and "picnicing" outside their homes on Nob Hill watching the earthquake. Also it called the mayor a villian because he emphasized the fire, not the earthquake in order to get business back into SF fast.
