8. :) Nice perking up of a day, right? In California I watched

Nov 2020

a big one's waves roll through a block of high-rise apartments. But when I got home and told a friend, it turns out that I'd missed the chance to see the San Gabriel Mountain Range rolling on those waves from my living room. Always regretted that.

Our houses were old California bungalows that had ridden several decades of earthquakes and had no damage. But I've never regretted not experiencing one in a skyscraper, in particular the old masonry ones that are designed to rock on their bases. And do. (!)
