MEAPsoft mashinator

Posted by mang on August 26th, 2006 filed in Music

Earthquake yesterday

Posted by mang on August 3rd, 2006 filed in General

I was reading at home when this one hit. Lasted maybe 2 or 3 seconds. Our house seems pretty solid and we have plenty of food. Must remember to keep a little store of water. The data from the USGS is pretty. The Did you feel it? map compiled from [...]
