Always had to straighten the pix on the walls.
“This is a barracks, not a bordello!”

Yeah, well. It was what it was.


The buildings over East are often fragile. They weren’t built for earthquakes, for cry-eyed.

I have to admit that the last thing I would do if it looked like skyscrapers were swaying in NYC would be to go stand in the street between them. The windows themselves would be nasty incoming.


I heard St. Helens blow. It was something. I was a long ways away at the time. The liquifaction was a phenomenon I was able to see, however. Man. That was an event to remember.

That must have been something to watch!

I was camping in NH when an earthquake hit. The sound of granite poping was dang scarey! It kind of shook my bones.

I like the earth doing nothing; just plain ole boring! :)

A steel reinforced concrete building is a steel reinforced concrete building. The only fragile thing in DC are its denizens.
