Traveler's report
So, M and I have experienced our first Bay Area earthquake. We've been through a couple in New York. They felt like a huge truck going by-- and going by -- and going by -- and still going by... This wasn't all that different. We were on the bed, which began to tremble, and the reflections on the darkened television screen were rocking back and forth. We heard on the news, later, that it was a 5.6 quake.
In other news yesterday, my T/X has died. I bought this after my ancient Palm m500 died while we were traveling in Canada last summer. That was in August. It's only October. I'm sure it was charged in the morning, but when I went to check the address of a restaurant while we were on the bus, it wouldn't turn on. So I brought it home, let it charge for a few hours, and it still won't turn on. I changed outlets (even though the indicator light on the charger went on just fine), left it charging all night, and still nothing. So (bleah) I get to deal with this when I get home. I'm not best pleased.
Fortunately, I have most of the relevant data on the laptop, and I know what dates we've made without checking the calendar (which is *not* on the laptop). Oh, well.
