THE SHAKES
I helped my girlfriend clean up her place on Sunday, just as potential roommates were arriving. We set a big, circular mirror on the nightstand next to the bed to make the room look bigger. It worked.

Even as we did it, I said, "Hey, let's move this big, unsecured mirror away from your pillow before the next earthquake."

Of course, I was next to the mirror when the 5.2 hit yesterday. The epicenter was 30 miles away, so all it did was shake the room and remind me to move the damn mirror.
I did.
