I was just signing off of my email account and getting ready to shut down my computer when a short (2 or 3 second) shaky-rattle quake hit.
I'm starting to get nervous. I don't remember so many earthquakes happening in such a short time period at this intensity. (Then again, I am on the top floor of an apartment building.)
Hm. Strange. I'm going to have to add an "earthquake" label.
Later, though. I'm late, and trying to head out the door! (Stupid blog. Darn it for being so darn fun!)

Hi! Shoot, that was easy. Don't worry about the shaking, it always stops eventually. ~Justin
