A 7.0 earthquake near Anchorage, Alaska this morning. That’s pretty hefty. I had to do some research about the fault lines that run in that region. The Denali fault is an evil bitch, running between the Pacific and North American tectonic plates. Today, there was a shift and, well, I’m sure you’ve seen the news footage. Living in Southern California you get used to the idea of living with a constant, nagging warning of an impending quake. There have been quite a few shakes and tremors since I’ve been here, but I can’t imagine being in something like what happened today. Scary.
President H.W. Bush passed away today - at the grand age of 94. In England that’s what you call a good innings. I always liked him. When I used to watch him on the news, back when I lived in the UK, I always thought that he sounded just like a cowboy, or at least what a cowboy ought to sound like when he talked. Honestly, I always thought he was a decent man. R.I.P. Mr. President.
