Neither shaken nor stirred

California's 13th biggest earthquake in recent history struck on Tuesday, and it went completely unnoticed by me. R noticed -- in fact, they evacuated her office building. She said it felt like the ground was swaying for about 5 seconds and then it was done. I was eating lunch at my desk at the time, and I have to say I'm a little disappointed I missed it. I got the call from R asking if I was okay. "Of course. Why wouldn't I be?" I asked, completely oblivious. I guess hurricanes Ivan and Katrina will have do for my natural disaster experiences for now.
