Wonder if the Illinois earthquake is anywhere near Metropolis, the home of Superman! I'd hate to think what the toy museums in that town would look like if all the super man toys you could ever imagine were dumped off the shelves.

A friend back there thought that I must feel earthquakes all the time in California.

I haven't felt but more than 1 or 2 slight tremors in the last couple of years at least..... But I was here for the big quake in '89 that happened in the middle of a televised baseball game in San Fran. That one was at least 100 times as strong as the Illinois quake. San Francisco is about 60 miles away, and was shook up pretty good. I was actually only 10 miles or less from the center, and the office building I was in had cracks in giant laminated wood cross beams. Santa Cruz had a lot of buckled roads afterwards. Everything on the shelves in my house was dumped on the floor.
