Shakey Tuesday · 07/30/08 01:27 PM by Michael Caldwell
Well, Tuesday was a rather unusual day. For those not living in Southern California, you may not know that there was a slight earthquake. It was actually a 5.4 on the richter scale, and the epicenter was near Chino Hills, about a 45 minute drive from here. I didn’t notice it at first, and mistook it for a semi-truck driving by, however it lasted longer and a co-worker started saying “earthquake,” so I went outside. It only lasted for 10 seconds maybe? It seems to have been dampened where I was. I was at work at ground level and I postulate that the large foundation kept it from seeming more severe. My family said that the whole house was shaking at home. I had one picture fall over in my room. So, it’s been a while since I had felt an earthquake. It was fun. I do like earthquakes (as long as no-one gets hurt)
In addition, a crazy drug addict came to our work parking lot and started threatening to shoot things with a slingshot. He escalated to a pellet gun shooting metallic ball-bearings when the police came. He damaged two vehicles, but managed to miss everyone he targeted. He was subdued by the cops after firing beanbags at him, and he was taken into custody. He appears to have wanted to be shot by the cops to be killed. So, that was weird.
So, that was my amazing Tuesday.
