I am Karan from Olympia, WA. Almost every other name used here is a pseodonym pseudonim pseudonymn alias. The rest of it is true - mostly - and all of it is my own. Don't even think about taking any of it, unless of course, you want to pay me.

    The counter says that 2846357 have been flummelized, but I personally think it's all a big lie.

    Living within the shake

    OK...so I already mentioned that I get notifications from the USGS of earthquake activity.  Actually, I get notices of any 5.0 or greater earthquake that happens anywhere on earth.  I get at least 4 announcements a day.  My brain is compiling a list of places I do not want to live...places that have so many 5.0+ earthquakes that the people who live there must feel like they sit on top of a vibrator.  This list includes:

    Indonesia
    The west coast of South America
    The South Pacific
    and increasingly...a place I’ve always wanted to visit:  Tristan de Cunha in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.

    This increasing awareness is moving me away from my once casual acceptance of the occasional shaker to one who now worries about them. 

    Knowledge - in this case - is not power...it is reason to duck and cover.
