My Martini Was Perfect

Still trying to deal with the aftermath of yesterday's terrifying earthquake


Aftermath? The epicenter was like 400 miles away from you.


That's hardly the point. We still felt the effects of the tremor in New York.


You felt your desk wiggling.


In fairness, my office is on the third floor of a slightly mushroom-shaped building. The consequences could have been disastrous.


If there was an earthquake larger than the tiny little tremor that happened this far away.


Okay, so the effects at work weren't especially substantial. What about the damage caused at home?


The sand in your mini zen garden was out of place?


I actually didn't think to check there.

What I did think to check out was Facebook, which immediately exploded with comments from people about the earthquake. This, of course, is a flimsy pretext to link you all to This Edition of the whimsical webcomic XKCD. It seemed to be quite appropriate during and immediately after yesterday's events. Hope everyone made it through okay.
