Rumble

I had just come down stairs and walked into the kitchen yesterday morning , accompanied by the Biscuit Boy, as per usual, when the world started shaking. I said, "what in the world?" as Biscuit scampered into the living room to hide under the table. The windows rattled, the cabinets shook, and I realized immediately what was happening. Five or six seconds later it was all over.  I looked over at Biscuit (who was looking at me with wide eyes like I had something to do with it) and said, "Baby, I think we just had an earthquake."  I went outside on the deck, then out front, and looked around and all was quiet.  No plane going over head (we're not far from the airport), no explosions.  Turns out my initial thought was correct.  Biggest earthquake ever in the DC area, and my first, at least the first that I've ever felt.

Turns out it was big news yesterday around here but I heard none of it.  I've spent the weekend at the kitchen table getting this web site together.  Yesterday was a struggle but today I've made a lot of progress.  Which is how it usually goes for me dealing with new technology.  The struggle actually helps sometimes.  Makes you look into the tool deeper and understand it better once you've finally had success.  I go through days like yesterday all the time at work and, I think, I end up the better for it.  That's my story anyhow, and I'm sticking with it.
