deird_ljWe just had our very own earthquake!
Apparently measured 4.7 on the Richter scale - which might be mini to you overseas living-on-a-faultline-people (or might not, I have no idea), but out here, it's pretty exciting.
I was babysitting Caleb at the time, and the stovepipe for my sister's fireplace was rattling incredibly loudly. And the couch was shaking.
I started mentally calculating how long it would take me to run into Caleb's room, grab him out of bed, sprint to the back door, and dive for cover before the house collapsed... and then the earthquake settled down.
So, no death-defying leaps from collapsing buildings today.

Huh - I wouldn't have thought that kangaroo is yummy, for some reason - I guess cause it's not something that Americans ever eat, because we, um, have no kangaroos here.
