Bound and Gagged by Dana Summers for May 14, 2010

Shifty business

The Department of a Little Change in Zip Code……

Lived through the “Northridge Earthquake”……..

Don’t intend to do that again!!!!!!!!!

The building has ‘settled’ , now they can begin all those remodel jobs with assurance.

That looks like an earthquake proof building.

MONTANALADY! I didn’t know Montana had any earthquakes or was that in another state?

Oh, shake shake shake, shake shake shake, Shake your booty! Shake your booty.

Llewellenbruce…………..that was in So. Cal in 1994…….

good reason to move to Montana, right?????

(don’t forget the 1959 earthquake near Yellowstone….)

Oh well, that building was never all that it was cracked up to be…!

SHEIK Congratulations! You’ve waited to use that line. Frank would be proud of you.

Hey, it’s their fault!

Sheik, finally got his break.

purposeful design, it would appear. cantilever construction (no support beams for the overhang)

I aquired this bit of architectural jargon from the 50’s playing with “Kenner’s girder and panel building set” the best toy I ever owned

I apologize for a bit of personal blather, but at least I didn’t subject you to a blow by blow description……uh…. I mean ‘vivid’ description of every job I ever had and every person i ever met, or every meal I ever enjoyed or…….

Montanalady: I’m sure there are very few people who want to experience a nearby earthquake. With the exception, I suppose, of the odd earthquake chaser.

Well, seismologists want to experience them, but probably not first-hand.

Loma Prieta in the SF Bay Area in 89….

and no, earthquakes are not fun

I bet it’s Bush’s fault.

It’s HIS fault! Look how he’s walking away from it!

I was little in the Loma Prieta 89 earthquake, I thought it was fun. I don’t know if I would want to go through an earthquake again, especially with the ones we have seen around the world, but I would definitely want to live through one again.
