All Shook Up to Start '09

Last night I was sitting in class (in a little theatre) and the floor started shaking - kind of like when someone is shaking their leg and everything vibrates. But I didn't see anyone's leg moving and I look across the aisle and my friend Mike was looking back at me like "what the?" Then I noticed the whole room was moving. Not much, but just enough to feel strange. I later found out the quake epicenter was near San Bernardino. It was only a small earthquake -- a 4.5 -- but the fact that we could even feel it from 60 miles away shows just how powerful that ol' Mother Nature is. Welcome back to L.A.!
