This was just plain creepy. At about 6:00, I walked up to the corner store to get a pack of cigarettes. The owner was watching the news about the earthquake in Turkey. We commented on how awful it was, and as I walked out, I just happened to utter the following words:
“We’re gonna have another one here before you know it.”
About ten seconds later, we did. The owner ran out of the store to tell me. It was a small one. I didn’t even feel it. But things were shaking and quivering inside the store. As I walked home, I noticed some neighbors talking about it on the sidewalk. I turned on the news. Channel 4 was already into its predicatble hype mode.
I predicted an earthquake with precision accuracy. And I didn’t even know I was doing it at the time. Much better than last time.
Things I love today:
- Safeway Select Grapefruit Soda
- The Safeway at 7th Avenue and Cabrillo
- The fact that, after tonight, I will finally have every episode of “The Streets of San Francisco” on tape, including the one filmed near the aforementioned Safeway.
Things which suck more than usual today (which means they suck a whole lot):
- Microsoft
- Microsoft Internet Explorer
- Microsoft Active-X
