Given a choice between being in an earthquake and being in Baghdad, I think I’d choose the earthquake.............

Oh, the ground shakes here from time to time. It just isn't caused by earthquakes.

When I was asked to come over here, they didn't really ask if I would rather be in an earthquake. ;-)

I don't think there's much difference. The Earth moves with the impact of incoming artillery, anyway. At least in Bagdad you get a chance to strike back. Who do you fight in an earthquake? God?

This is just another birth pang of the apocalypse anyway. They are getting to be closer together and more intense.

Gotta ask yourself a heavenly minded question: RAPTURE READY?

Well, that would definately depend upon a number of factors. The magnitude of the quake; how long the quake lasted; how deep it was; what type of earth was under me; what type of building I was in; and probably a few more I can’t think of right now. Contrasted with Iraq: What type of job I was doing; where I was located; and whether I were there as conditions on the ground improved (as is the current status). Given current developments in Iraq, I’d rather be there than in a strong magnitude quake; in a building of poor design; and in an area where the damage is probably going to be severe (the Nevada quake would not qualify).
