I just felt a little tremor here in SD but this has renewed my fretting over what to do with the thousands of dollars worth of toys and statuettes I have sitting on shelves. I need to start looking into cabinetry or something.

I moved to cali from houston texas. I traded floods and hurricanes for fire and earthquakes. I've lived through all the elemental disasters. Take that stupid planet!

I live in Florida. We get hurricanes here. They may sound like a non-stop rollercoaster but, no, I don't find them full of magic...
