Chet, it was in San Bernardino. The only way I can think of to describe how it felt is it was like if you were sleeping in a boat on calm water and another boat went by very slowly and your boat rocked from the wake. Very gentle... with the windows creaking! LOL! Here's the USGS report:

That's an easy one...I've been out of work for a month with a back injury. Take the narcotics first... By the time you're done eating you'll be about ready for a nap. Better living through pharmaceuticals!!SJfromNJ wrote:Sounds like you are havimg fun CG.
I just got home from having carpel tunnel surgery. I am starving and have some good narcotics. I cant decide what to do first!
I hope the healing goes well.
CG....glad to hear everything is ok!!
Ha! You crack me up! Food first, so the drugs don't make you throw up. Hate to waste good drugs! LOL!SJfromNJ wrote:Sounds like you are havimg fun CG.
