    How worked up all the people in Reno are over the earthquakes we've had lately. I mean they literally freak out and the news talks exclusivley of when the big one is going to hit.
    I haven't felt one of these earthquakes yet either...guess I am just used to the 6ers

    If you can get a layover in Reno let me know-even if it's an hour or a night. My schedule was all messed up last year, but I make my own work hours now. We have a guest bedroom and Andy's really fun.

    Thats pretty funny.

    I've been through one earthquake here. I'd probably be freaked out too.

    i don't think they do layovers like that...but i'm sure the price for a flight from reno to SF wouldn't be too much, right?

    They totally do layovers like that, especially since Reno is on the way to San Fran. I used to do it all the time.

    Fitzy I am pretty sure you have experienced one and don't even know it. Occasionally folks in New England get little dinky earthquakes that rate between like 2 to 3 or 3.5 on the richter scale. I know CT has gotten one or two.

    Hmmm... earthquakes... haven't experienced any in a couple of years or so here in Romania. A few years ago there used to be quite frequent ones... not dangerous though.

    so...we got a couple of more small ones yesterday...one of which I felt and everyone ducked under the table. It was a 2.4...-are you kidding me?
    I do understand people's fear sincet hey have never experienced one and now they are feeling them on a daily basis, but still; I find it amusing...and kind of cute.
