Yes, I hear there was lots of spilled wine up in Napa. That's wine country. You'd think they would know how to store bottles so they don't fall off the shelves.

That was nothing, Q. Didn't even know that's what it was.
We're all glad to hear from you, Cindy. I was pretty sure you'd be OK from the reports I read, but it's nice to know for sure.

Look at Uncle's pic and freeze it at the eyes rolling up - that was about it.
Santa Rosa is about 50 miles north of here. I'll have to check the news to see how bad it got up there. But barely a hint of it down here. Thanks!
Thanks for checking in, glad to hear it wasn't a problem. Plus, I didn't want to have to see you rip your hair out if your renovation projects were about to start over!

I think what determines the amount of shaking is the terrain, and what it's made out of. Redwood City, San Mateo and most of SF are pretty solid - probably why they're so expensive. Some areas are on landfill or softer rock, which don't do so well. You also don't want to be sitting directly over a fault line.
On the 1989 earthquake, our house built in 1935 barely shook. One crack on the ceiling and two vases fell off a shelf. That was it. Then you look around and it's a disaster area. Pretty sure though, that the areas that made it in the news were either over landfill or directly over a fault. Most of East Oakland is over landfill and Marina's pretty soft. Everybody else seemed to do OK.

Good to hear cindy.
Mornin all.!
I slept with the mouse on my hand and headphones on
I usually have my PV with me too, then I end up having to look for it the next morning.
I went to see Penny today. She was out with the big herd, but they were up by the barn, most of them in the run-in part because of heat & bugs. Penny stays out of there. Too crowded she thinks. She is low in the pecking order, and though most of the horses probably would tolerate her being inside, she doesn't want to be crowded in where she can't get away if someone decides to get aggressive. This makes me think that the new place will be better, since they are kept in separate stalls during the day.
Also, many of the barn owner's teenagers recently left home, so she has less help, and the fences have wires sticking out where pieces were spliced together. Recently, Penny has had a small cut about once a week, maybe from that. She is wary of the electric fence, but she might go up against it if another horse pushes her there and she sees no other escape route.
The new barn mainly has that broad white tape for electric fencing, which I think is less likely to cause injury. Some small sections were a kind called Electrobraid. I think all in all, the new place's fencing is safer than the old.
I took home some of the stuff that's accumulated at the barn. I plan to go back Tuesday and Thursday and get more.
I'm very hyped up about the move. I can hardly wait till it's over.
Meanwhile, the boy I tutor has sent me some stuff he's done on his iPad. He made 2 slideshows and built a robot from parts provided. And he e-mailed me with them, which is probably even more significant. We've been e-mailing back & forth, and he has to write to do it, and I correct most of his grammar. This is voluntary, so it's better than regular lessons, which bore him. He really resists them, till lately I had to speak very sharply to him about it. Yay!

OK, does anyone here use an iPad to send messages by e-mail? The boy seems to not be able to include the old message he's answering. Does an iPad do this, like my e-mail program does?
This sounds all too familiar. (my move)It sounds like it's going to work out pretty good for both of you.
I use a web based email on my iPad. Does he have the setting "save to sent folder" checked.

I realize Penny's move pales in comparison to yours, but it's the big event in my life right now. It'll happen next Saturday.
The big BBQ is starting in an hour. We did it! We are well organized and relaxing before the peeps arrive.
Glad you are okay, Cindy.
Nice to see you, her.
I think Penny will like her new home, sandysu.

Have fun at the party, Lizzie! I know you might be very busy serving everyone, etc., but try to relax and enjoy, too. I'm sure it'll be a big success. Of course, we want a report after it's over.
Moving a horse is a pretty big event. I've had to do it a few times myself and it was stressful. But it will work out ok.
Hmmm, my invitation must have gotten lost in the mail. Oh well, I hope you all have a good time without me.
Glad to hear you're in one piece, Cindy.
I was out all day doing a little "contracting" job and have to go back to finish tomorrow. I was drilling a 5/8" hole in a concrete floor with my Bosch hammer/drill when the smoke leaked out of it. That necessitated another trip to HD, had just gotten back with the right size lag bolts, and a new hammer/drill...a Milwaukee this time. It did blow through the holes a lot better than the Bosch, and I know Tritium will guffaw that, but it's true. Of course the Milwaukee was twice the price of the Bosch, but going cheap didn't work out very well.
