and thus, next morning as if a script had been written about my rant, a Big Earthquake (7.6 Richter) puts us again in the front pages of the international press.

we’re fine here in San José, we’re far from the epicentre yet, news reports of the area surrounding it are bad, a few victims have been identified but it’s soon to know… 

and I have yet to get scared or get that funny feeling in my gut or get that scary dizziness you get with post traumatic stress disorder… and I have had my share of bad stories regarding earthquakes since I was 12.

and yes this is also a True Story and yesterday’s post was my final complaint about our lack of newsworthy things for the world to know
