MalcolmD says: So, I heard something about an earthquake in your part of the world today? I assure you, that can't have happened, as you are right in the middle of a perfectly solid tectonic plate. :-/ If it did, however, I hope that you're physically and psychologically sound--I know that your home is your shell, and I hate it when something rattles my shell. ;-)

I'm fine. I was actually having a nap when I was awaken by my bed jostling. The room shock for about 10 seconds. Shockingly none of my figures fell off the shelves. Figured several would.

Other than a bit of disoriented dizziness for an hour I'm fine.

Sadly that's the most shaking my bed has ever done.
