Standing on shaky ground
Damn. Yet another major earthquake, this time in Chile. The tsunami warnings are reaching all over the Pacific, including Hawaii. Sure seems like there's been a whole lot of these all around the world lately. Kind of takes the humor out of the rapture/armangeddon jokes.
Somebody on Twitter said they were wondering if maybe the Mayans were onto something after all. And of course, someone brought up Breitbart's threat to "destroy the institutional left" in the next two weeks. But when these strings happen, I recall reading the book of Revelations in the Bible about 40 years ago. One image that stuck with me for all these years was the prediction that natural disasters would slowly increase in frequency -- like a woman in labor pains. On the other hand, I can recall making that connection more than once over that time.
Anyway, sending thoughts of safety and survival to Chile and everyone else in the path of this destruction.

Naw! Chile gets earthquakes all the time. Hell...the aftershocks from this baby were larger than the quake that hit Haiti. The difference in Chile is, they know how to build buildings.
The Mayans were full of it! ;-)
(And BTW, the Frogette and I returned to the US last Tuesday.)
Glad to know you're safe Kvatch.
